Today, John worries himself sick over his films imminent (Aug. 31) release.
Watch out for Melting Dread.
Thats the only advice I can offer in this final installment of guest-blogging.
I felt something strange the other day, as I was sitting in my office chair.
It was the sensation of falling through steam.
I felt it on my skin, in my gut, in my throat.
You know how in some movies, a character is told a piece of shocking news and vomits?
I never believed that until now.
I was five seconds from dropping the phone and dashing.
The inciting incident for my near-heaving was a phone call about an issue thats now put to rest.
Im calling it Melting Dread.
Nor is it the quick panic, fight-or-flight reaction, when you think youre about to get mugged.
is a strange hybrid, like being chased by a knife-wielding tax collector.
Youre worried about the blade, and the bill that will follow.
Through the combined efforts of many people, the Melting Dread haspassed, mercifully.
Is this emotionally unhealthy?
I was heartened byour B in EW,among other national publications.
Then its backto my own blog, the next script, and constant vigilance for potentialsources of Melting Dread.
Im keeping particularly close eye onAshley Tisdale.
(I have my reasons.)
Oh, and go seeThe Nines!
I feel like I deserve one last chance to shamelessly plug it.
