-U! a.k.a. Uriel A. Duran

(the con is coming and I still don’t have plans of going…so far so good)

I’m FFFFOUND!
ffffound.com/home/everyueveryme/found

FFFFOUND! is a web service that not only allows the users to post and share their favorite images found on the web, but also dynamically recommends each user’s tastes and interests for an inspirational image-bookmarking experience

the site is invitation only…hopefully someone out there will be willing to invite me there.

(just a note to keep track of things so far:I’m currently drawing issue #3 but so far no publisher has shown any interest.well then,let’s keep keeping patience…something should happen sooner or later)

(i’ve been thinking about selling some prints and t-shirts with my illos.but first i need to find a good website that lets me do that in an easy way.so the search begins,i suppose…)

(yesterday went to a interview and let’s simply say that things were not as expected and so i’m not joining freemasonry.oh swell…)

(it’s currently in spanish,i want in english so more people can read it.not an easy task as it uses a lot of mexican slang and don’t want it to lose that atmosphere.a friend is supposed to help me but first i need to find enough time for making a first draft.)

(good news:I did a couple extra chores and got a little bonus in my paycheck.
bad news:bureaucracy keeps delaying that paycheck so I still can’t use the monies—hopefully by Monday that’ll be fixed but it still is really annoying)

(and so,the site now is powered by Wordpress and is located in a new URL:
http://tallersecuencial.wordpress.com
search engines still need to update themselves and eliminate the old URL but that’s beyond my control.Still,so far the new URL is already showing up,so soon the change will be complete.Mission:Completed.)

(this week I found out that one article [the one about the Simpsons Movie] on the Spanish version of Wikipedia mentions me as a source.even though I worked in the Spanish version of the Simpsons Comics series,I’m not sure if it’s fair at all that they included my name there—it’s flattering anyways,I guess.and I suppose it’s one step closer for this goal.)

(it took me a few more days than planned,but finally,just some minutes ago,I did it and made all the upgradings I wanted—and even included a brand new RSS feed!
Mission:Completed)

(after a frustrating try to use Wordpress [not a bad software but simply not adequate for my website —unless I rebuild it completely] I found out a way to use a little php hack so I can get what I want.I only need to create a new custom layout for my sketchlog so it can power the updates section on my website.it may take a bit of time but so far,I’m halfway of completing this goal)

(been thinking about changing it into a blog system,so maintenance is easier)

(wrote something new—and before the year ends.But I don’t know if it’s properly fiction or a prose performance,since the narrative part is only one part of the reading experience,as it’s a (meta)fiction blog: http://reydelosmonstruos.blogspot.com )

(basicly,I’d like to include some new illos,polish the CSS,and add a store and work blog.hopefuly I’ll be able to do all that before the new year begins)

(I’ve been thinking about moving my ‘100 Razones Por Las Cuales No Existen Superhéroes Mexicanos’ from its crappy GeoCities location.I’ll place it in Blogspot [a.k.a. “the new GeoCities”] and very probably I’ll make it now a bilingual website for more atention whoring work exposure.)

(A few hours ago,I completed the short story I was writting.Only one tale in the year maybe is one too few,but still much more than the fiction I wrote last year [none].
I’ll see if I can write another one before year’s end—won’t make promises though,since I also need to draw some greeting cards,but I’ll keep trying)

*edited cause I think faster than what I type…

(today I finally had enough time for writting a new tale.it’s almost ready but I still need to know what was the hit parade in Mexico around 1935 or 1936,so I can include a proper mention of a popular song at that time—the tale has an old jukebox as central piece.hopefully I’ll find something tomorrow after some googling,and then the story will be finished before saturday.)

(wonder if I should change the words for this goal.issue #2 of this project is about to be self-published in these days.publishing is somewhat easy—but finding a publisher to do it so you can keep creating non-stop,is another story)

(well,this is one thing I can’t do by myself and I can’t be sure if I actually could accomplish this goal.but anyway,when I die,I would love to be burned along with my personal stuff.in the meantime,I’ve already bought the matches for that important day
