What is "Doom Eager"?

Lorrie Moore, from "Better and Sicker"
"Martha Graham speaks of the Icelandic term "doom eager" to denote that ordeal of isolation, restlessness, caughtness and artistic experiences when he or she is sick with an idea. When a writer is doom eager, the writing won't be sludge on the page; it will give readers -- and the writer, of course, is the very first reader -- an experience they've never had before, or perhaps a little and at last the words for an experience they have."

Geektastic!

Super Size Me Creator Does Comic-Con Documentary

Morgan Spurlock, creator of the Oscar-nominated documentary Super Size Me will be directing a new documentary about San Diego Comic Con entitled Comic-Con Episode Four: A Fan's Hope. Produced by the geek-culture dream team of Stan Lee, Joss Whedon and Harry Knowles, the documentary will follow seven fans on their journeys to and through the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con.

I love documentaries, Morgan Spurlock, Joss Whedon, and comic conventions. I'm so geeked out it's silly.
