I stepped away from Lost after (spoilerish?) John in a Box season ender.

I fully plan to return, just when it’s over. My Lost watching partners were steeped in the hate. I remained intrigued, but decided to step away until the series ended for the sake of my marriage.

Oh, and word-up to the bearded! Beards, of course, rule.

I held it together until I got to “18 feet of Charmin”. For some reason that made me laugh.

Them shit-guards cost a pretty penny. I’m just saying. Lowe’s will gouge you on ‘em.

I promise not to spray man-hate all up in your business from now on. It was hardly my intention to anger the Gods of TV land to begin with. Please except this imaginary fruit basket as an offering. Gratz on the book! I’m going to go cry in a corner, now, and cut myself. (Also I have an urge to install a shit-guard on my disposal unit…)

Congrats on the insect book – looks pretty darn neat! And more 1950’s cooking! Yum. (Feel free to send some over at anytime. )
Hope to watch LOST episode tonight!!!! Woot! (Hubby dislikes it so I wait to see when he’s gaming online with the buds. )

All articles could be way better. Stories, too. Films. Games. Etc. Few things achieve Truly Great status, but that article is Truly Good, or perhaps Great but without the Truly. Or something. I’m just saying, I liked it a lot.

And I plan on putting the John August Notecard Brilliance into play next week, when Writing once more becomes Rewriting.

Thanks for the link, there, sir. That article could be way better.

John August’s note cards post came just in time to tell me I was doing it right, as I’m using them on the script I’m writing right now. The confidence boost that came from that, silly as it may be, was super valuable. “I did it right!” (In other words, “Whew!”)
