I’m happy to report that unless something really, really, really horrific befalls me in the next few weeks (boy, I’m just begging for it with that, aren’t I?), I hope to have a new site up at WilliamMapother.com and this blog will move to become a page of that site.
It should be cleaner, easier, and have information newer than, say, 2002.
Stay tuned.
More often than you might imagine, I receive emails asking about how to stay up with the blog. At the bottom of the page is a ‘Subscribe’ button. That should notify you each time the blog is updated, so you can finally get a good night’s rest.
To upset others, you can also use the ‘Share’ button at the top of the screen.
A few nights ago Entertainment Weekly threw a party for their Lost-centric issue. Whilst there I encountered the mild-mannered Damon Lindelof, Lost’s co-creator, enjoying a cocktail, a well-deserved post-series rest and not bothering anyone. [Just to clarify, this is he —> ]
Sadly for him, however, he soon found himself Ethanized. I somehow found an excuse — I swear, it seemed perfectly reasonable at the time (I think) — to inflict upon him an impassioned and (probably) dramatized introduction to John Keats‘ theory of negative capability, of which I have been immoderately fond since I was a wee college lad.
Today I emailed Damon the wikipedia link and he tweeted about it. As is customary for Damon, he was kind enough to omit all the gesticulation and listen-to-this-ness. [ And this is Keats —> ]
By the way, if you find me blogging about tweeting ever again, please Ethanize me, I beg you.
