In Today's Episode... It's time for Darkhawk to make a momentous decision - and share something with a friend - as "And The Thunder Rolls By" concludes.

Dev-Rep... TDD-502 nears completion (so long as I can stay awake), and I'll be doing some TDD-503 pre-development Wednesday and Thursday - my "mid-weekend" (see below).

Hey, What's Going On...? As The ... System require my services on Saturday (blasphemy!!!), I've laid claim to Thursday as the "rest of my weekend". Tomorrow gets me a lie-in, followed by an afternoon "placate The Beast" session, but the next day is all mine, and I shall welcome that. Today was another decent day - busy, but by no means frustrating, and I hope this is a sign of things to come, rather than an isolated incident...

I would stay up and write some more, but my wakefulness is waning. Let's see what tomorrow brings...

In Today's Episode... "The Flight Of The Black Snake..." concludes as Mane-of-Night confronts a bitter adversary - or are they?

Scheduling Update... Okay - next up is the premiere for Darkhawk Season Five. Saturday looks like a good day, but I will be needing to advance story development before and during that time. Things are going to get busy - or should that be "busier"...?

Today's Meaningful Thought... Don't you hate it when people seem to change their minds, almost at random? I seem to be experiencing quite a bit of that at the moment, courtesy of The ... System, but I guess it's better than the alternative. For now...

In Today's Episode... It's time for Mane-of-Night to address her most pressing concern - the Wyridaen disaster - but will the other "guests" help, or hinder? And what surprise does one of the have in store...?

Development News... Aaaah, now that's better! Things are starting to flow in TDD-502, and that's got a lot to do with a much more equitable situation involving the recent arangement with The ... System...

In Today's Headlines... "That Place" was seriously getting me down, and although the solution wasn't quite as I would have liked (but that may still be achieveable), I am so very grateful for the "great escape" engineered for me. A great weight was lifted from me in a matter of minutes - guess that must be what getting told your life-threatening disease is no longer a danger to your life. I have no intention of exploring the "whys" and "wherefores", as I don't wanna jinx it.

I will, however, be spending some of The System's dough on a sweet present.

All I need now is to stop waking up at 6.30 in the morning. That I really can do without...

Peace.

In Today's Episode... Mane-of-Night catches up with some other companions - and perhaps finds an answer to a new predicament...

Development News... Struggling a bit, at present. It's not been easy to maintain a train of creative thought recently, and I'm rather glad that, right now, I have story inventory from which to draw.

In Today's Headlines... I had two mothers to bestow gifts upon today, one of whom only just managed to sneak "under the wire". Nice!

Also... Well done, Formula One rookie Lewis Hamilton! I hope we're seeing a genuine contender emerging, not just another "headline darling".

Finally... Getting that "need to get away" feeling again. Maybe The F...... System will be kind enough to pay for it all - it is, after all, their damn fault.
