Why, yes, I did get up at 4am this morning and write my ass off.  Why do you ask? 

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to watch Lost last night.  10-11pm caught up with me.  I'm going to watch it tonight with Emma and I'll post something about it tomorrow morning.  (Not sure whether this is going to become a habit or not.)  However, I do have this thought about last week's episode.  We know that Ben can't kill Widmore.  Is it because the island won't let Widmore die?  I'm starting to wonder who Widmore is, why he thinks the island is his, and I keep coming back to a pirate ship stranded somehow in the middle of the island. 

But don't think about spoiling anything that happened last night for me.

If you're a SF/F author, there's a decent chance you've already read Richard K. Morgan telling the whole genre to stop bitching at each other and "get to work."  But just in case you haven't, you should.  He says some good things.

I wonder how some of the people he's clearly pointing fingers out will react to the article and if his piece will go down as well as the titular performer.  I hope not.  Why do SF/F writers bitch so much about other in-genre stuff that they don't want to read?  Wouldn't, "Meh, not my thing" suffice?  (I'm not talking about criticism, I'm talking about the out and out rants.)
