I just got a “Yeah, about that…” call from the editor at The Advocate. Remember the piece that I said I had worked so hard on? The one that I said I was so proud of? It’s not going to run. Now they want me to write an opinion piece about all my research. It’s going from a 3,000-word article down to a 500-word column.
I can’t tell you how disappointed I am. Not devastated, but really, really disheartened. What was the point of ALL that research?
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sucks, dude. And yes, I enjoy calling you dude because I think you appreciate it. How was Lost?

My opinion is that it was very entertaining. But when you have to put pop-ups in your show to explain it, you have officially jumped the shark.

That’s a bummer. Can you do something to save all that hard work? Publish it on your blog anyway, or through a different blog? You know, SOMEWHERE?

Thanks, Ernie. I probably will publish it here, or link to it. It’s too long for a regular post, but we’ll see.
