This month’s Storyteller’s Unplugged essay, Asking Questions, was inspired by my recent experiences interviewing people for a couple of projects. I spent 90 minutes on the phone with one interview subject yesterday. The results of my recent interview with Mick Garris about the Bag of Bones miniseries will start appearing over the course of the next few weeks. I realized after I posted the essay that last month’s entry was about being interviewed. So I guess there’s a kind of symmetry there.
I had an e-mail from LinkedIn this morning asking if I knew my wife. Indeed I do, but when I went to the page to tell them exactly how I knew her, there wasn’t a box for that.
There’s a copy of The Stephen King Illustrated Companion for auction on eBay. The winner will have it personally inscribed to them by moi. The auction ends a week from today. All the money from it will go to help raise funds to buy an ‘Eye Gaze Device’, which will allow Rocky Wood to communicate at the later stages of ALS/Motor Neurone Disease (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). For more about the fundraiser, go here.
We had a nice rainstorm a couple of days ago, and a promise of more in the coming days. Finally.
This week’s Survivor brought to an end what was pretty much predestined from the moment Cochran decided to flip. For a minute, it looked like Whitney might throw a monkey wrench in the works. If she’d won immunity during the second challenge last night, there could have been some chaotic voting. Cochran would probably have been ousted. Now Ozzie gets to spend a day or two with his former tribe-mates on Redemption Island. Apparently the country singer is involved in a lot of Survivor-related drama now that filming is over, too.
