Why does the coprophiliac always bet on the horse that will "show" rather than "win" or "place" when he goes to the races?

Because be like to bet on the horse that comes in t'ird.

I think I'll forego the six page dance with that one.

Hello, fellow dear readers.

I spent another exciting day watching the men work with the large machines.

Another landmark is fast approaching. Will Pogue reach Divinity this week. Ascension comes at 500 posts, right?

Danise, we will eagerly await your review of my little Dragon epic.

Pathetic Tales From Jenny's High School Theatrical Career...Pt. 2

My Shakespeare class is putting together a series of mini adaptations of scenes from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" to air on our school's weekly television show. The class was seperated into groups such as writers (Who are also in charge of casting), film crew, actors (Such as myself), costuming, etc. and together, we're supposed to make this modernized "Midsummer" soap opera.

Today, I suggested that the writers adapt the text in a very different way than they were planning to. The teacher loved my idea, I loved my idea, most of the class loved my idea, but the writers did not love my idea and were actually offended that I would dare to make a suggestion.

...So they cast me as Bottom.

$:-\$

It's a cruel, cruel, hilarious thing to do to a teenage girl.

Just watched Matchstick Men - not too bad - Nicholas Cage is always fascinating to watch. Didn't much care for Sam Rockwell, but the young girl was terrific.

Alison Lohman. She was also terrific in WHITE OLEANDER.

I live around the corner from Ramon Navarro's old house, one that Lloyd Wright (Frank's kid) designed for him, later purchased by Ms. Diane Keaton, who one would see occasionally walking her dog in the neighbourhood(she has since moved on). I don't believe this is the house where poor Mr. Navarro was brutually beaten and killed by Rough Trade. I've actually been in the house...interesting and unique.

I worked with Keaton in the house when we were doing AMELIA EARHART. Very strange vibes. (The house, not Keaton.) Plus her dog (Josie, I think) was a holy terror.

What kind of mushrooms does the coprophiliac like best? -- Shitake. of course.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #158 on:** March 01, 2004, 07:52:12 PM »

All I remember is that it was a big dog. Very long house on a long lot sort of running along the spine of hill. It had it's charm but it very much defines your space and how you live. Lots of built-ins which the Lloyd Wright did a lot. None of this, "I hate the furniture, let's get rid of it" every five years stuff.

Jenny, it sounds like you have the fine makings of a studio executive, telling writers how to write...Hmmm, Panni, how do we feel about this?

Oh, please! Their idea of how to modernize the text was to simply write a new play with absolutely no similarities in plot or theme to the original. With this script, we're all failing the assignment! I wasn't telling them how to write, I was merely proposing a way for them to be creative while still following the task. ::Smiles angelically::

Oh! Maybe I missed it... Maybe it was posted here... But did anyone mention the passing of Bart Howard last week?

Jenny, in the real world (if that's what FS Pogue, bk and I work in) the writers will not be offended that changes are suggested. They will merely roll their eyes with a "Here we go again" look. Suggesting changes for executives is like peeing on trees for dogs. A useless and smelly endeavor, but nature decrees it must be done.

Michael · « **Reply #163 on:** March 01, 2004, 08:03:06 PM »

Just caught up with today's notes and now its time to sleep.

I could have posted all night.
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I'd never done before
I'll never know what made it so exciting
When all at once my heart took flight
I only know when he began to post with me
I could have post posted posted ..all night

It's after eleven now
don't you agree now
I ought to be in bed?

Panni · « **Reply #164 on:** March 01, 2004, 08:03:11 PM »

(But, Jenny seems much too nice to become an executive.)

What's a coprophiliacs favorite breed of dog? Shitzhu. Or Poodle.

What's a coprophiliacs favorite type of music? Scat singing.

What's a coprophiliacs favorite exclamatory expression? "Bloody Merde-er!"

What's a coprophiliacs favorite Diana Ross song? "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"
-Yes, I know that's stretching... and kind of eewwww.

Ok - I think I'll stop... for now..

DR Jose: I also saw American Idol tonight. I don't think you can really spoil the show, since it was just a bunch of clips and performances (that don't count).

But in case you think you will be spoiled DON'T READ AHEAD IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT TONIGHT'S AMERICAN IDOL.

I was surprised that many of the performers were good and not awful (like I assumed they were supposed to be). Also loved what they did with William Hung.

DR Danise: I'm pretty sure you don't have to call Ticketmaster 3 times a day. Ticket dates are announced before they go on sale. Plus, I'll bet there is a certain day of the week that tickets go on sale there (either saturday or whatever). What about on Michael Ball's website?

I guess I don't understand, don't the people at ticketmaster who you are calling know their own policy? I would ask to speak to a manager. They should know the sale dates WAY before they go on sale. And if the date is soon, they should be able to tell you.

I'd like Jenny to be a film executive. She's smart - she'd hire all of us immediately.

DR Michael Shayne's sign-off tonight reminded me of one my favorite auditions of all time. The young woman put the music for "I Could Have Danced All Night" in front of me, and told me just to keep playing no matter what. "OK" -

Well... -In place of the _____ just insert a big smile and a "Mmmmm"...

"I could have _____ all night
I could have _____ all night
And still have begged for more

I could have spread my _____
And done a thousand things
I've never done before

I'll never know
What made it so
Exciting
Why all at once
My heart took flight

I only know when he
Began to ____ with me
I could have ____!
____!!!
____!!!!!
All Night!"

-Finishing off with the high-C of course!

Ascention comes at 501. Kind of like finding a pair of Levis that fit perfectly.

Der Brucer is a little ahead of you, CP, with Danise close behind. We must prepare the pantaloons and party hats, with gobs of confetti and cheese slices and ham!

(It's too bad Maya disappeared. Everyone is passing her by. Tsk.)

Set your VCRs! Tomorrow, Tuesday, 2 March 2004 C.E., at 17:00 [5:00 pm] (EST), the SciFi Channel will air Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, starring The Sexiest Man Alive.

No, silly! I do not mean FS ~~Charles~~ Edward [sic] Pogue's Close Personal Friend, Kevin Sorbo. Nor do I mean Michael Hurst, dressed as the inimitable Widow Twanky. And I don't even mean the late, humpy Kevin Smith (the actor, not the director) in Ares leather drag.

I refer of course to our own, our very own Brent Barrett playing Uris in the episode "A Star to Guide Them" (Episode 3.9). I have never seen it, but I am greatly looking forward to it, and, of course, I'm hoping they let him sing.

RE tonight's AMERICAN IDOL. If there had been anything else on I was tempted to watch, I wouldn't have watched this tonight. I think they've gone to the well once too often with the audition stuff. But I understand those are the most popular programs (apart from the finale where the winner is named), and Fox is starting a new reality show tonight and wanted to give it a big audience lead-in.

Other than the military girl, I didn't think the others were worthy of a second look even in fun. The military girl (whose name keeps escaping me) was ever so much better than many of the singers two weeks ago (those godawful twins) or Hawaiian Jonah from last week.

Maya was stolen away from us. We hope she is happy at whatever board she's on.

I recently finished the Natalie Wood bio NATASHA and am planning on reading the one by Gavin Lambert eventually, so I knew no TV-biopic would capture the detail of those books (or deal as honestly as necessary with some of the facts of her life).
