¿Qué? ¿Qué?

A] It's about my blog, and about my music and about my animations and about the kinds of connections I make. So: all kinda creative things. Lately, I've been doing a lot of writing and music-making.

Q] Writing? Like what kind of writing?

A] S'been a lot of, I guess how-you-say, creative non-fiction lately, although a while back someone dared me to write poems so there's some of that, too. And then some screenwriting, including a piece about a heterosexual couple that switches bodies. I kindof want to give that last one to a talented director/set of actors, let them have their way with it.

Q] Music? What kind of music? When is your next show? Can I buy your CD?

A] Addressing your questions in order: Yes, music. Good music, singer-songwriter stuff, kinda folky. Next show is listed on the music page or on my space page, it's probably in the Bay Area, because that's where I live. You can download my recent EP fo free here.

Q] I was confused by your art. Alternately, I was enthusiastic about it. Should I keep my feedback to myself? Additionally, I have the desire to email you for reasons not listed here, and should I tamp that desire down?

A] No.

Q] What sorts of personal development projects are you working on now?

A] I have been running a lot. It's been my new secret to life, like maybe I had too much energy before, and now if I run a bunch of miles, I no longer have the energy to feel bad, just good.

Q] Your old webcomics, Up at Dawn Crook Society and Cat & Llama and Why Democracy Doesn't Work: are you updating them on a regular basis, or just when you feel like it, or what?

A] They come when I'm inspired. But they haven't forgotten about you! They love you.

Q] Still lovingly hand-coding this site?

A] Aw baby. If you know enough to ask that, then you know enough to "View Source", which means you know enough to know. I use Notepad, everything is straight HTML. No content management. Nothing from Adobe. Just pure. text. and love. Mm mm!

I'm hoping that my skills at basic-level HTML will be generalizable to more serious programming and compy skills. Like buckling down and learning a scripting language, for instance.

Q] Your drawings and animations are neat. Do you ever think about doing compositions, or narratives?

A] Yes. I did Song of the Chicken in September 2008. And the next installment in the "20 page booklet" series ("My Goose") will be both narrative and compositional. I dare me.

Q] You are funny. You agree with me?

A] I do.

Q] In the booklets, there are weird letters sometimes. What's that about?

A] In Good Juice, when those letters appear it's generally me writing notes to save myself. Since I write with that alphabet a lot more than I read it, I'm fairly illiterate in it, even having made it up. Plus the characters and spelling have changed over the years, so sometimes words are indecipherable. There are few scholars of the cipher, but prolly with half an hour and a "Rosetta" translation you could decrypt the whole thing and be the next one, and read my notes about, "chocolate?" and "this attempt at teambuilding is a farce." Especially if you've been studying your hangul.

Q] I think you should be on YouTube . Why aren't you on that website?

A] Oh I am all up in that website:

Q] What about t-shirts. I think you should make t-shirts.

A] I think so too. Take a look at
www.zazzle.com/ericaricardo →

Q] I would like to teach you a scripting language. Tight as can be?

A] Tight as can be. Email or give a call, with a quickness.

Q] What else?

A] All my draws are so flat. I am flipping this aspect of my drawing (like a sensei flips a guy) from a so-called "weakness" into a strength, since the trés awesome, hot medium of Flash loves flat, depthless drawings. So, I'm in luck. See more at this spot here →

Q] I'm here on accident—I was looking for the other Erica Dreisbach.

A] The one from Pennsylvania Deutsch country? Yeah, I'm not her. But she got married, I think she might be Erica Thompson now. Much like the Highlander, there can only be one.

Q] I'm someone else and I was actually looking for someone named Erica Ricardo.

A] Yeah, I'm not her either.
