Two Holes and A Whole Too

My life has been taken over by bloodsuckers. I'm not speaking of the figurative leech, like relatives staying passed their welcome or Republicans. I mean actual fanged teethed, Transylvanian bred Nosferatu. Vampires. How did this happen to me? My P's where being minded, my Q's not in the least bit in disarray. Yet my world has lately been overrun by the undead and I'm at a lose for how it came to be.

First there is this project that Atomic and I are working on writing. I say working on because this epic masterpiece has so many layers to it that I'm still a bit confused if we are actually going to pull it off. And I say masterpiece because it certainly will be just that. I don't want to get too into explaining it for several reasons, mostly because I don't know that I could do it justice. But I will go out on the proverbial limb, cause I'll be damned if my big ass is gonna climb a real tree, and say that once "87" is ready you are all in for a treat of colossal magnitude. It's a 7.3 on the Richter scale. It may not knock down any buildings, but it's gonna shake the shit out of you.

Then, like a silent fart in an elevator I got caught by surprise by HBO. I don't know why I was shocked, they have great shows, we must all agree with that. And Alan Ball is the creator of Six Feet Under and writer of American Beauty is at it again. Wasn't planning on watching, but it has Anna Paquin, how could I resist True Blood. More God damned Vampires. Like I said, taking over my life. Loved the first episode. Thought it was fantastic. Can't wait for more. Maybe HBO is back on track and ready to retake Sunday night. Showtime is still kicking their ass with Weeds and the upcoming premiere of season two of Californication, which if you haven't checked out, you must. But HBO is making a run, let's see if Alan Ball can deliver on True Blood like he did with Six Feet Under.

On a non-bloodsucker note, I watched the first episode of the FX series "Sons of Anarchy". Biker drama. Ron Pearlman alone makes it worth a gander, but I'm not totally sold. The lead character is already on my nerve and that's a bad thing. Katie Segal, better known as Peg Bundy, is playing way too over the top with the tough mom thing. If they can reel it in, it's got some good elements, just not sure if it's gonna be my thing.

Otherwise, the vampires have me by the throat and I'm dealing with them as best I can. More "87" news will be available soon. As well as something else that I have kindling. I'm not sure what it is yet, it's an idea without form, a thought without structure, a wave that isn't quite ready to break. I might even debut some of it here in the Asylum, fiction. That would be a first.
Anyway, really just wanted to check in and say howdy. My coffin is waiting and the sun will be up soon, so I must away, but fear not, I shall return when the moon rests high in the sky and the star spangled blanket covers my world. Until I must feed.

Stay True.
