The WGA strike is over. Well, no it's not really. For the last week or so various industry types have been procaliming as such, but in reality the last bits of the current deal weren't even hammered out until this past weekend and even now, the details have to be agreed by the members. However, yes, the WGA management appear to be saying to their members that they recommend the deal as the best one available at the moment. A vote on whether to go back to work immediately (well, Wednesday) is underway and a vote on formally agreeing contract terms should be done within ten days. So, ok, it LOOKS like the strike IS over. Yay! Writers get what they want, which was always only a fraction of what they deserved. Yay! I gets me my House, Bones, NCIS and others back - though it looks like series such as Life and 24 won't be back until the Autumn. Peh. Follow the updates on http://www.unitedhollywood.com/

And the dreaded list of chores is getting shorter and I'm chugging my way through the various things I have to get done. Various invoices have been sent out (but, of course, the cheques and payments will take their sweet time coming in), some bills have been paid as well. Need to crack on with the HLWW designs for further DVD sleeves and update my CV/resume, but it's all going okay.

Off to top and tail interviews with Len Wein (X-Men), Robert Hall (Terminator) and a review of [REC] which is a classy Spanish horror movie... and maybe sleep.
