There is so much to do and there is so little time. Increasingly, I find myself a little overwhelmed by emails. A Google Apps Statistics summary for my email account at thescarletqueen.com to have received 1000 emails for the month of November.
I have decided to use Zoho Project Management instead of Thrive Solo. I still use Google Keep on the side for my To Do List. I am way behind schedule and I will be working overtime this month. One shift in the office, and another shift at home. I don’t want to take any more holidays. I am officially quite sick of traveling after having traveling every other month last year due to low fuel prices. What I really want to do right now is finish my half completed projects and start my marathon novel writing for The Ocra.
I might change the name of the sequel to something more catchy like Blue Ocra. I don’t know. For the Red Hourglass it was quite obvious to me when I read up about the deadly black widow spider while in Australia and I wondered how cool it would be if I could write a book about female agents who kill to serve.
I had hopes for filming with a green screen but the light bulbs that came in seem to be not working, if powered incorrectly it could potentially short circuit the building as the lighting equipment is of a extremely high voltage.
I feel quite refreshed coming back from Japan. But Japan is not a place I would like to stay in. I missed my flight as someone committed suicide right at 5.45pm downtown Osaka, halting the airport express train I was on. The media does not report suicide cases. What followed was a nightmare race against time taking local trains that has no English directions. Fortunately, we did reach the flight counter but we were 15 minutes too late and the gates had closed.
Staying in no mans land near Kansai Airport in Osaka for the next flight out was a novel experience. There was a convenience store under the hotel and every hotel in Japan. I got a bowl of fresh packaged ramen, which they microwaved on the spot. When I opened it, there was a piece of plastic at the bottom of the soup and noodles. I took the plastic out and wondered if I stay in Japan long enough would I become another robot humanoid like the girl in movie Cloud Atlas. To entertain myself, I bought a cat magazine that only featured kittens. On the television, was a show about cats on the Cat Island of Japan, featuring a cute girl in her twenties chasing and cooing them to come out to pet them and feed them with munchies while she talked to the locals.

The difference is we don’t have metallic collars like those girls in the picture above. But it would be cool to wear one as a fashion accessory. However, in the movie, the metallic collars can puncture their necks when they misbehave. Basically it’s a collar that kills. Looking at the picture, I miss being conformist by doing whatever other people are doing and queuing up in straight long lines obediently and their super clean streets and orderly lifestyles. For now I have to resort to being individualistic, messy and disorganized. But creative.
