The Spoon... Podcast?

In my return to the basics ("Movies. Stuff. More Stuff.") I'm contemplating taking The Spoon onto some radiation waves some radio waves a podcast near you!

As part of that movement, I'll also be reintroducing non-Lost content back onto the site. I fully intend to complete my analysis of every major Lost character but I'll be interspersing it with other stuff. "What other stuff?" you may be asking yourself.

That's an excellent question.

My current vision for the site is to move towards shorter, more frequent posts about recent movies, classic movies, and, of course, Lost. I'll consider discussing other televisions shows but only if they feature time-warping islands and smoke monsters. The Spoon will continue to be gossip free and tuna safe.

I realize my vision is pretty hazy and that's partially intentional; I'm still figuring out what I'm going to do. The how of it is also something I'd like to bring up.

You may notice a new widget to the right of this post. I set up a small donation fund for The Spoon as a way of paying for tickets and other stuff (microphones, adapters, etc.) that will allow me to keep doing what I love: discussing movies and making a fool of myself.

Leave a comment if you have any ides or suggestions for the site and my possible podcast. Or you can email me at my brand new address inthespoon@gmail.com.

Behind the Scenes at The Spoon

Over at The Fantasy & Sci-Fi Lovin’ Blog, SQT has revealed the secrets behind her posting magic. This inspired me to write my own behind-the-scenes look at The Spoon’s daily schedule.

10:00PM: Finish nightly soak at the hot tub. Time to begin the creative process.

10:10PM – 10:30PM: Brainstorm post topics while depositing massive bowel movement in toilet.

10:30PM – 10:40PM: Admire massive bowel movement.

Mmmm, this brownie looks really tasty

10:41PM: Flush massive bowel movement.

10:42PM – 11:00PM: Check IMDB for celebrity birthdays. Browse random movie information.

11:00PM – 11:30PM: Read other blogs. Compare previously brainstormed post topics with posts from other blogs. Liberally borrow/borderline steal ideas from other blogs.

11:30PM – Midnight: Write eloquent, informed post about recent film with a careful eye towards the educated tastes of The Spoon’s readers.

12:01AM: Accidentally delete eloquent, informed post.

12:11AM – 12:15AM: Admire post about massive bowel movement.

1:15AM: Go to sleep confident that the world is a slightly more disgusting place because of The Spoon.
