Just a quick note to anyone who might have been waiting for the premiere of "Health Care in Black & White." Yes, the film is on its way, but not today as promised. (Yeah, I know. So sue me. It's not like I'm running for office.)

Anyhoo, this thing is killing me. I've been at this more or less continuously for days now with little to no sleep. I must have sifted through 20 hours of movie and YouTube footage--probably 200 different videos all in all--just to obtain those rare and precious frames I'm cobbling into a masterpiece ... well, a masterpiece for me, at least.

But hey, that's how I roll, y'all. Because I care. And I want to make the finest short film you've ever seen. Yes, even you, Edmund Crankypants! You don't know how lucky you are about to be.

So use the bathroom again or get a sandwich, for Pete's sake! Don't loiter around my blog waiting for the box office to open. Sheesh! You'll see it when it's ready.

Sweet Mary's marmalade! my aching imagination ...
