The Patent Dragon's Zone of Soul Retraction

Yesterday SHOULD have read...

The media machine for Prometheus is underway, it seems. It's going to have to go like crazy to make the kind of cash Avengers is bringing in. Meanwhile you can definitely count GI Joe - Retaliation out of the running, 'cause that seems to have been put back to next year... to covert it to 3D. Oh joy...

I get the feeling that Men In Black 3 is most likely to fall into the "black hole" left in the wake of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

ITEM! Here we go - the exams are over, and the students are... "revolting". Lovely.

Today... Oh look, we have another


...namely:

18 - Renew my passport

YES. All set for August, now.

Wonder if I can complete a THIRD task this month? Might be worth a try, now that I'm one-quarter of the way through my list...

Bloody Typical... The Redskins have rather sucked this season, but how do we end it? With cornerback DeAngelo Hall getting MVP honours at the Pro Bowl - the only player we had in the NFC team until the Packers had to pull their players for Super Bowl duties next week. That is about the only positive to having the all-star game in the otherwise empty week before The Big Game, a recent development not many are happy with - what's the point of a big showcase game that isn't going to showcase some of the best talent in the sport right now - on the rosters of the Packers and Steelers.

At least the Pro Bowl is back where it should be - Hawaii. Now just shift it back to the week after the Super Bowl, and all will be well again...

Development News... Didn't do much towards TDD-609 ...Second Movement at lunch, but I did piece together another plot-sheet for the remainder of Season Six - exactly as I told myself I wouldn't do. I do, however, have a solid REIGNFALL outline now, and I am attacking the rest of the Season from both sides. I have added an event to the schedule, which I'm just about to start writing, but I could have everything leading up to the Season finale done well before my "set in stone" May deadline.

For real.

In The News... Well, bugger this - I've been thinking about doing some travelling, seeing a bit more of the world... but one of the destinations I really want to visit is in political chaos right now. Yeah, I'm meaning Egypt. That's a real pain, as a trip to Egypt would allow me to directly nail TWO Mission tasks in one go, and a third indirectly:

18 - Renew my passport
20 - Set foot in another foreign country (not the US!)
21 - Travel East overseas at least once

It wouldn't be the end of the world, or the Mission, to try somewhere else - Jersey looks nice, and it's just East enough to count for Task 21...
