The Adventures of Jonathan and Heather: Part 10000...




It seems I haven't been keeping people up to speed with all the latest and greatest in our world, and perhaps that's because as soon as something blog-worthy happens in our life, something else supersedes it, making the last thought obsolete and the new stays fresh and interesting until that too gets superseded, and this seems to happen more often than I can get in front of a computer with an hour to spare to do more than check emails. (How's that for an excuse.)
I must admit, I have been spending key writing minutes pimping the pages of myspace (otherwise known as the lazy-man's blog) answering comments, messages and friend requests.
The season is winding down, although production is working harder than ever to hand over the finale episode on time (which isn't going to happen) so ABC can get it in line for the May 24 air-date. Last week we were actually filming 4 separate episodes on the same day in an effort to meet our early May deadline. As for me, I enjoy the workload because it's allows more opportunity for stunts.
One of my characters (from early in the season, hint-hint) returns to be the focal point of the 2 episode finale, so I've had some good stunt-work over the last week or two, and it may make for even more work in Season 3 (hint-hint). So much work in fact that I've gotten myself pretty banged-up in the process, but luckily I've had the days off when I've needed them most.
We traveled off Oahu for the first time in a while to visit Kona for Easter and pack up remaining personalparaphanelia and ship the car over to LA.
Did I mention we're moving to LA, well yes, we are. We'll head over mid-May and immediately continue working to get ourselves on a feature for the summer. Lost will be here for next season, and we may split time between HI and the mainland strictly depending on the workload.
Well, Huck Finn and I have plenty more tales to tell, but I'll share them in subsequent posts to not bombard you all at once. Here are some pics and my myspace page is worth viewing for picture content as well.

Whose Space is Myspace Anyway?

Heather signed me up for myspace this week and it seems to be taking the internet world by storm, kind of like blogs were supposed to do. Everyone and their mother, literally, is on this personal-profile based website, allowing you to link-up pics and videos in a brag-sheet fashion for all the world to see, and it seems that all the world is seeing them.
For example, a night after I posted to my myspace profile that I attended the University of Alabama as a Alpha Tau Omega fraternity member I received 2 friend requests from friends of mine that I haven't talked to in years from my old house; crazy.
Myspace was created as a singles-site that has mutated into a full-on yearbook junkie reunion page for everything from everyday friends to obscure acquaintances to people you've never met.
Your info for all the world to see; and we're all throwing it out there. Pictures and personal dish sprawled across your page with links to everyone you know and gossip on everything you do, like to do, and places you spend your time; everything. There's already been reported cases of misuse of the pedophilia-type, and myspace has combated the problem with an age limit on allowed users, but that's like expecting to stop trespassers because you posted a really-really big scary sign.
