Say my Name!

WHEW! It's always such a great feeling when I finish writing a script. It's exhilaration, giddiness, relief, hope, nervousness. I DID IT BITCHES! I have to admit that this time the experience is a bit different because I have a new friend that reads voraciously - so talk about immediate feedback...and she's a fan - so rest assured that immediate feedback was GOOD. So for at least the rest of this evening, I'm going to chill. I wish I had a cigarette and a glass of champagne...or some other 'writer's ritual' for the completion of a project. Remember poor James Caan in "Misery"?

Well here's my ritual for today:

Watch General Hospital/surf Facebook&DListed&imdb/eat 99¢tacos/smoke a b**l...simultaneously.

I'm stopping there before I start writing about what happens tomorrow...

Shamelessly Impressed...

The interview in Vogue makes the comparison between Beyonce and Britney. They are only 3 months apart. There are many similarities in their lives: Both started performing at 8 (?) Both have or have had parents as managers. Both come from the dirty dirty South. Both have younger sisters who have kids - (but who's careers pale in comparison to their older siblings).

But as to how they compare now????? These words are a waste of time. It's obvious to even the most Helen Keller of us that Beyonce is Quality with a capitol Q. As a singer, as a performer and certainly as a human.

She has had to contend with all of the same foibles of being a child star. And she has done it with grace. I bow. I bow.

Oh and P.S. Etta James. I'd probably feel the same way girl but come on, shut the hell up!

Lyubov V Bolshom Gorode beats Watchmen at the Box Office!

The Russian Box Office...but still.

Our little $3.5 million movie that could - DID. It's the second time I've been fortunate enough to be involved with a #1 movie. The last one was "THE WEDDING PLANNER." That opened on Superbowl weekend and was perfect counter programming. "NO LOVE IN THE CITY", the U.S. title for this movie opened on International Women's Day weekend. Smart stuff.

It also has a lot to offer. It has...

Handsome Russian movie stars...

Plucky Russian Heroines...

Brighton Beach showgirls...

Pliable strippers...

A cool double decker bus...

drama...

Romance...

fairytale settings...

AND the Russian King of Pop!

There are also some really cool CGI effects, great music and lots of laughs. I hope it gets a U.S. release so that you can get a chance to see it. It's a very romantic comedy!

Buckwheat can save the World!

☚Not this one...
Although, his adorable little face could go a long way toward saving us.








But the buckwheat I speak of is this...☛
Sobakawa buckwheat pillows. If everyone slept on one of these, there'd be no more crankiness. They're a gift from the gods.

The difference between a night of sleep like this...

or a night of sleep like this...

Sleeping on regular pillows makes your face look

☜ like this ....

or like this....☞

and will leave you feeling and looking like this when you awake ☟

✻ shudder ✼

But when I wake up after a night of sleeping on my Sobakawa buckwheat pillow I feel like...

Michelle Kwan!

We CAN change the world, one pillow at a time. Do your part now! Your face and those of us who have to look at it will thank you ❤

Can I see those in a Size 10?

I have come up with an economic stimulus idea for California and Octopussy. She of the fourteen rugrats and no visible means of income except for that porn offer from Vivid. There's a way she can retain what dignity she has or ever had, become an income generating, tax paying citizen, care for her herd and still supply the masses with their dose of Octopussy gawking. Ready?

Here it is.


You know that abondoned water park on the way to Las Vegas - off Hwy 15 near Bartstow? It's called Rock-A-Hoola and it's long been a point of fascination and imagination for many of us who pass it regularly on the way to and from sin city. OK, picture this:


We build a large shoe shaped house on the Rock -A-Hoola property. Big enough for Octopussy and her litter. She and they can act as both attraction and caretakers of the park. Imagine all the fun that can be had? All the revenue it can generate for California and for the poor happless progeny of Octopussy.The marketing opportunities boggle the mind!

Octopus shaped baby dolls.

Novelty t-shirts

Embryo crackers

those fun Wax Lips!

and shoes!

An outlet mall that sells nothing but shoes! While your kids play with the Octo-litter in the water park and explore the genuine Shoe House, you can peruse the endless brands of designer shoes for sale. Sergios and Manolos and Louboutins, oh my!

Hmmm. Now how to revamp that old water slide.....Wait for it....We reimagine it as a giant scale birth canal! That's right! What could be more fun than shooting out from between two larger than life Octopussy thighs and down the water slide like one of her money makers...er...babies??

I think it's a no brainer. And to prove I'm right, check out the little newspaper article below, from 1936...



Imagine how much more fun I'd have with photo shop. Sigh.
