Erm... Happy New Year....

Been a while, friends. How about some good news?

I haven't been entirely inactive in my time apart from this blog; I've written a lot, and I've done an awful lot of research for my dissertation, on Demonology and the movie 'Drag Me to Hell'.

In any case, you obviously only care about BLOB, so here's some news about him, and the related series.

I've typed up Hero BLOB XI: BLOB Family Reunion, and, as is my wont, I have sent it to Nicolas Nadeau for approval. I applaud my mother's valiant efforts to send me copies of the manuscript last semester so that I could type it then, but I do not applaud the British Postal Service, which, due to its strike, never delivered the package and, instead, sent it back.

Not that I would be bitter.

In any case, I have also recently written some verse works for the various BLOB series, and have finalized the plot details of BLOB 7D: Rise of the Jive Turkeys, which will incorporate the portions earlier filmed for it, along with new footage.

The poems I've written are the following, and will hopefully soon be available in the arts/literature website 'Blastocyst':

'Song of BLOB's Nose'- In this poem, mixing iambic pentameter and dactylic hexameter, the story is told of what happened to BLOB's nose after it was wickedly removed by the Red-Head (with the help of a little Red Blobtonite) in 'BLOB 6: Secret of the Blobtonite'. It seems that the Nose has some problems and nearly falls into the pits of Hell, where it meets the souls of some of BLOB's victimized villains.

'CARMEN PENGII'- Pengy, Cloudman's sidekick (you should know that Cloudman is BLOB's best friend, who features prominently in the upcoming 'BLOB X: Actaeon' and 'BLOB 12: Sinners in the Hands of an Angry BLOB'), is the star of this iambic pentameter poem. It documents his attempts to fly and fulfill his destiny as the son of the Penguin President Pingy of the Penguin Planet.

So those things are all typed up. Next, I'm moving on to the enormous task of typing up my excessively long script for 'Chicken Man 2: Last Flight of the Chicken Man'. I'm getting nervous and restless because I haven't actually produced any work lately, so I will hopefully soon get some people together and film either BLOB X, BLOB 7D, or some other such work. More updates soon!

A New Project

So yesterday a new project idea came to me, and I wrote a two-page treatment.  I think it would work as a movie, but I'm not sure when it would possibly come about.

It's called 'Jason and Alicia: a Goat-Song', and it deals with a comatose man meeting his own comic-book creations in a dream state.

That's all I want to give away at this point, but I really like the project, so maybe I'll reveal more soon!

In the meantime, I'm planning on possibly finishing the script for 'BLOB 11: BLOB Family Reunion' today at a cafe, so hurrah!  Look forward to it!

BLOBtabulously yours,

BLOB 11 Update!

I've been working more on BLOB 11 today, in Starbuck's on the Royal Mile.  I'm really happy with how it's going, and the plan for the plot is almost completely finished now!  I just introduced the Stable Boy, sure to become a fan favorite, and BLOB's 'mother', Valerie Normalsman.  I've also made some sketches today of what I want the stage to be like, so it should be a blast!  

But a new plan is forming; whether or not it will be accomplished is another question.  I think I'd like to film the play as though it were a live television filming- have 2 or 3 cameras going simultaneously, focusing on different characters, as the actors act out the scenes live, interspersed with cut-scenes of stuff impossible to do on stage.  If I can successfully market this as an 'Extraordinary' play at Bedlam, then I think I could pull it off, with the help of my talented friends in the biz.  And good ol' God, of course.  

Now where am I going to get a giant, BLOB-shaped bag of sand and a flamethrower??

BLOB 11 Update!

Today, for the first time this year, I worked on (Hero) BLOB 11: BLOB Family Reunion.  It is to be a stage-play which I intend/ hope to put on at Bedlam next year.  I had already written a few pages, but had placed the notebook under my bed at some point, where I did not see it for months.  I am very happy with how things are going as of yet, although I'm still writing the first scene.  It's snappy and quick, and features BLOB, Chilipepperman, the Normalsman family, and many other fine characters, including a new potential love interest for our blobby brother in red.  Now let's just hope Blobton can handle all this action, and I can actually finish writing both it and my Latin essay!!

PS an alternate title for the play is BLOB 11: Return to Blobton.
