At my publisher’s house for a Halloween get together and his wife made a kitty litter cake.

Today is my final day of moving. I’m super excited to be getting out of the city (the pic above was taken on my cell phone a week or so ago when I got locked onto the library roof for several hours).

Mike asked to see this.

Either I reallllllyyy like bananas and have thus filled my van with them…or I’m moving & needed the boxes. (Hint: I’m moving) So Ill be back when I have internet again.

Had a few complaints about last week’s “Knowledge Helps” so I thought this week would be the perfect time to follow up with the one above.

I got my absentee ballot in the mail and I was shocked to findout that there are six political parties. What the heck is the “Constitution” party? Never heard of it in my life. At least I’ve seen or read mentionings of the “Green” and “Libertarian” parties. Then it’s not like anyone other then a Democrat or Republician will win, so why even include the other parties on the ballot? Might as well put something like the “Jedi” party.

The “American Observer” did a piece about me and “DAD! A Documentary Graphic Novel.” You can check it out online here:

Kevin King, Scott’s dad, has been struggling with his health for many years. On one trip to the hospital, Scott took three pictures with his cell phone and noticed they were sequential, like a stop-motion movie. Being a film student, as well as a fan of comic books, he came up with the idea of writing “Dad!,” a documentary graphic novel about his relationship with his father and his father’s illness.

Just got word that the beta site for American University’s iTunes U is live. To see what I’ve been doing for the past few months (nothing really exciting if you don’t care about academia) then go here.

Oh hell yeah… “DEXTER” one of the best shows on TV just got renewed for two more seasons (each will consist of the tweleve episodes). Today is a good day!

I got an email from people who said they attended a test screening of “Watchmen” last weekend and in it they said the ending of the movie was different from the book. I thought it was just a stupid email until I saw that /Film and other places were reporting the same story. Since we are talking spoilers, I’ll post the details after the break: (Read on …)

It has been four years since the original “Fable” came out and this RPG sequel is supposedly everything that the first game was supposed to be, yet wasn’t. My fingers are crossed that it will be total awesomeness. I’ll have a full review in a few days!

Oh Hell YEAH! “Call of Duty: World at War” doesn’t come out for three weeks, but over the weekend I got myself into the multiplayer beta testing! So far I’m absolutly loving it. The game gets back to it’s World War II roots, but it’s just as intense and crazy as COD4. Hopefully I’ll have a full beta-review by the end of the week… though between this and “Fable 2,” don’t be surprise if my posts this week are sparce.

So the fourth book in the “Twilight” series is a piece of crap that should be burned… but the first three are really good and if you even remotely like vampires or YA fiction then you should try them out. The books rely on a lot of internal monologue for the main character and I’ve been really curious as to how the movie would handle this, so I really enjoyed this indeepth interview with the screen writer who adapted the book:

Well, in the book there’s a lot of rich internal dialogue, [but] it’s really in Bella’s head. It’s hard to do that in a movie. And I wanted the movie to be from Bella’s perspective, but at first I really struggled with how to get into her head without using voiceover. A lot of it meant making her have conversations with others in which that internal dialogue could be externalized. It was really about unfolding how she figures out that Edward is a vampire. Who could she have that conversation with? I think I was pretty successful in doing that.

Set your calendar. The final 11 episode run of “Battlestar Galactica” starts on Jan. 16th, 2009. This means the show’s series finale will air around March 20th.
