I'll be gone for a week or so starting Thursday. I'll be on the east coast at a religious retreat. Y'know, get away from all the distractions and figure out what I want to do with my life before it's too late.

I recorded a video of myself surfing "The Final Countdown". I'd love to show it, but since Photobucket has been finicky lately I need to find a new video hosting site (no, I've never had luck with Google video in the past so don't bother mentioning it).

My epic is THIS CLOSE to being finished. However, "Action In The Background" is still just a place-holder title. As much as I like it, I'd rather come up with something different since this isn't just a re-write. It's gonna be totally different. Any suggestions for a replacement title that still follows the same idea? My series (should the first book do well enough) is basically going to be all about what happened "behind the scenes" during the 01-08 saga.

Oh, and in case you haven't noticed, name-change/revert.

Further more, I've also had an epic in mind (too many things I'd like to do, not enough time) for the COT forum (OH MY ALLAH, Takuma in COT!?). I've had this MARVEL comic book-style hero that's been screaming to get out of my head and meet the world for some time now. I'll give you a small taste of what he's like: He's deaf, plays guitar, and his name is Derek Leaper (no, he's not a jumpy super-hero, I just thought it sounded interesting). Alter-ego name is still in the works. What's his power? Well, I may reveal that later. Let's just say that it ties into the fact that he's deaf.
