Eternal Youth Only (aka "The Dreamer's Disease")

Hey Flip-philes. Back again with more blog. I'm putting the final touches on Down and Yonder. It's 92 pages now with no filler and no connective tissue. It might end up being around 100 pages once I put the muscles on. It's in no way done though. I'm simply going to give it a break until I am brave enough to return to it and dig deeper.

I also finished up a short story called Ba Dum Chhh. It's not long, but I like the shape it is taking. It is pretty dark and often just flat-out weird, but I consider those both to be pretty positive attributes.

Also, J Dawg (a.k.a. Jonathan Hunt) and I are prepping a short film to be shot the first weekend of February. It's called Art for Illitirates and I think it might be legitimately good. Hopefully it all comes together well.

In other news, I am about to go into geek overdrive as the final season of Lost is set to premiere this Tuesday, February 2. I apologize in advance for all my crazy theories involving reincarnation, destiny, and the space-time continuum. I didn't choose this. It chose me.

Check this out:

It's a pretty sweet pic. Battlestar Galactica did this a year or two ago, but I still geeked out all the same when I saw the Lost cast give it a spin. Has anybody called this "The Lost Supper" yet? If not, they need to!

(Oh, and last week I came up with a killer theory about John Locke and his true role in all this. It's pretty mind-blowing if it's true, but I'll have to bore you with that another time.)

Anyway, that about wraps it up for this week. I'm warning you, though. For the next few months, this blog is about to get wrapped up in all things Lost. If that kind of thing usually bores the hell out of you... well, I guess I'll see you in May.
