Link o' the Day:story at the International Herald Tribune chronicling the sad passing of John Mortimer
I know what the island is!
Okay...okay...Lost...yeah, I know. When will I shut up about it? Soon, probably. We finished season 4 last night, so we're all set for the start of season five this week. Whew! Four seasons in what? A couple of weeks? I just hope my dreams go back to normal now. I'll say this about season 4: I like the new scientist characters. The character of Benjamin has to make the top ten list of most complex fictional characters ever. The writing staff is the network TV equivalent of a drug cartel. They don't care who they hurt so long as you get hooked.
But the biggest thing for me is the revelation of what the island is. I have it all figured out now and it works so perfectly that I feel like an idiot for not seeing it sooner. Some of the symbols, the machinery, little visual clues in the last episode...I've seen those before. Hundreds of times. I didn't recognize them at first...it's been a while...but later last night I felt as if struck by lightning with recognition. Of course! I've purposely avoided any Lost discussions or sites online in order to not to contaminate my thinking, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone else has already suggested this...
Well, no. Not gonna tell you. The picture here is a hint of sorts.

That's out of the way now. Hokay, three-day weekend is over. The snow has been dealt with. I have a lot of work to do today and, as the Three Stooges said in "The Chiropractors" episode: "Let's get cracking!"
Today it's the SFWA Bulletin and the Trustus Plays. For anyone wondering what's up with Project X, the prepwork is still happening. I'm trying to put together a decent webpage for it, and need to do some scans. I have a meeting tomorrow with some folks and need to go over some things with my partner in this endeavor. Soon after I may announce something officially.

Today's link goes to the story at the International Herald Tribune chronicling the sad passing of John Mortimer. He was the creator of the iconic Rumpole of the Bailey of which I've read in numerous stories and seen brought to life on ITV television by the late Leo McKern. Every now and then I'd see a new Rumpole story come out and snap it up. Sadly, those days are now no more.
Court now in recess.
