This GA recap show is not making me happy. I wanted a new show!
FTR, this is karma for all of the mean things you were AIMing me about missing grey's anatomy.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

A sample scene from my play:
Scene: Greg in the kitchen with a helium balloon
Enter April
A: What are you doing?
G: Helmut got me started. I'm trying to find the point of equilibrium where the top of the balloon just touches the ceiling.
A: Helmut is such is a wacko.
G: He, of course, got it on the first try. I have been struggling for almost an hour.
A: Oh my GOD, where did you find that cheese? I've been searching everywhere for food.
g: No Ape, that's the last piece of cheese!!! The crackers just don't have the same weight to them. Have a cracker...
A: Ew, wheat thins. I hate them. Give me the cheese, I'm starving!
G: No.
A: Just a bite. A bite won't matter.
April lunges for the cheese
G: GET AWAY FROM THE CHEESE!
April takes a big bite from the cheese.
G: You bitch
The balloon has achieved "equilibrium" with just the top grazing the ceiling.
G: You BITCH!
A: I'm such a genius.
Scene.
And that's why I never became a playwright....

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Kate, dinner-making is most cool indeed! Congratulations to you, and to Cute Bookstore Guy for recognizing your homemade dinner-worthiness.
I forgot about all my floaty pens!
I really must go over to my mom's place and get my glasses back from her. It took me three careful readings before I could see anything but I forgot all about my floaty penis!

Bwah! I'm sure if I had a floaty penis, I would not forget it!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Aw, thanks, JZ!
Kat, received and replied, and yay!
Sue, that was fabulous. I'm eager to discover how the balloon would have been rigged to behave properly on stage. Or is that the kind of thing that they don't bother about in playwriting class?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Then we played some pool, then I came home to find a message on my phone from Cute Bookstore Guy. Called him back -- he wants to make me dinner on Tuesday!
That's v. cute!
It would have been a slacker classic had I not stopped going to class and actually finished it.
Nice, Sue. Just think of all the lost potential slacker classics that suffered the same fate.

Thanks! There are only fragments of the play, and I was writing scenes without a narrative in mind (the basic plot was a guy and a girl at a party that never seems to end in a series of scenes that shows the path of their relationship), so in some scenes the two main characters are best friends and in some they had just met.
I hadn't figured the cheese out. I guess you'd have to weight it right, then add the cheese that was going to be eaten. I guess it would help to have it all be fake food except for the to-be-eaten cheese.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh No! I went and did some work and Tom called me. I would much rather have been talking to Tom. The only good part is I have voice mail!!
I'm watching the GA. Since I don't watch the show it's interesting, and rather a whirlwind.

It seems to be the only true fate of a slacker classic. Those with the initiative to finish them weren't real slackers, were they?
The cheese & cracker helium balloon incident was something that my friend Kevin told me he witnessed at a party. Kevin, incidentally, won a Governor General's Award for Drama a few years ago. He's no slacker.
