An Unintended Hiatus

Well, it's been a while.

The last blog I posted was just before "Forum" opened, and that was, what? two, three weeks ago? The show closed last Sunday, and I've been slowly re-adapting to the humdrummery of the night shift.

Not that there hasn't been plenty to write about.

The writers' strike in LA has some quite possibly serious ramifications not just for LOST, but for every TV show, period. I have thoughts on that, but not for right now. Suffice to say, I am with the writers on this (of course!), and I hope they get what they want soon.

I could write quite a bit on how "Forum" went, and I will probably do so. All I want to say is that the cast party for that show was grrrreat! And no, not for what you might imagine was an alcohol-drenched debauch among nubile coeds--nope, sorry. It was just fun. That's all. Simple fun. Belting out Disney cartoon songs, goofing on this, cackling at that. Just a lot of fun.

I guess the thing foremost in my reveries (concerning this blogsite) is that when I began this blog 3 months and change ago, I intended to write about LOST a lot more than I actually have been. To be fair to myself, this is one looooong hiatus before the fourth season starts (IF it starts, due to the strike). I scour the Internet looking for something, anything, related to LOST. I have found some really cool sites, but they all seem to be suffering from the same malady as me; hiatus uninterruptus.

Well, if it comes to it, I can always change the name of the blogsite from Station 15 to Kyle-topia.

Tomorrow I plan to do a few more posts. I have a very busy winter looming ahead of me, so I want to articulate what some of my winternial challenges will be. I have started writing my alternate history, The October Tsar. If I want to be successful between writing a book and going to the gym, I have to apply the same sort of discipline that I use when I make sure I go to rehearsal every day.

AND...in addition to all that, I have been (happily?) coerced into auditioning for I Hate Hamlet, quite possibly to play the part of John Barrymore's ghost. AND, my pal Lauren (who played Philia the Virgin in "Forum") is going to direct The Three Musketeers for her senior project. Can anyone say...Richelieu? Mmmm, perhaps.

(Sigh)

Gonna be a busy-ass winter. But I guess it could be worse.
