apologies for having deprived z-FriEnDz of Z-nEwz for such an extended length of time, but eldon has been running around like a ZWERG with his head cut off!
-first order of z-NeWz is the WONDER-tastic WikiMonctonLocals ZWERG-profile created by longtime ZWERG friend, the small but mighty and ever-handsome son of the norse and francs, Eric Normandeaux:
colossal kudos to Eric for such a work of disciplined effort and time consumption!!
-on the acting front, eldon had his first bed scene (yikes) on an episode of "G-Spot" which shot in halifax last month, and is excited BUTT apprehensive about seeing his em-bare-ass-ing assless ass on High-Def TV.
he also just wrapped shooting a pilot for CBC in st. john this weekend, entitled "Dead To The World", in which he plays an american soldier ordered to assist in overtaking canada.
eldon also learned not to "drink and act" while shooting The Divorcees' charming new video for "Nearly Fell".. check out his over-acting at:
