sweet weekend (sans pictures)

I picked up James outside his office at around 430 on friday. We took the train downtown and picked up Melanie outside her office and proceeded to Water Taxi Beach, an 18,000 sq. ft. plaza with 3 tons of sand outside of south street seaport. The deal was 50 cent shrimp, oysters, clams and $3 off all booze. (this deal continues 4-6pm thur-sunday for the rest of the summer, bitches)
We hooked it up. I fucking destroyed some oysters and mad clams. Peter joined and smartly picked up a surplus round 2 minutes before the deal ended. It was then that the clouds started to roll in for New York's nightly pour-down of Armageddon for the month of June. We rushed into the tent, squaring up with some hipsters and then the wind started to come on in. I predicted MJ's death to comfortably coincide with the coming Apocalypse while James helped batton down the hatches like a trooper.
The house music started and immediately began to offend, so we climbed to the top deck of the seaport to watch lightning bolts.
The night ended at Melanie's to drink wine, eat her good food and watch MJ classic video's until it was time to realize that the night was ending early.

The next day, Peter and Melanie came to see the last production of "The Brooklyn Play", which I've been working on with some friends for a while. There is a video that will be posted post-haste. I've recieved many good reviews and desires to watch the show. A few hours later, after another downpour and a sweet double rainbow (my blackberry don't save pics, dammit!!??!!), Nick showed up with his friend Lauren at a good bar with good music and an awfully small venue. They were sweet, and they included Nick and Lauren's supervisors band, who had a number of horns equal to the width of the venue and 1/26th the size of the crowd.
It was cool. I went home soon thereafter. What did you guys do next?

Fucking Got That Shit

So I'll be teaching English in Japan come September through a company called Interac. Its the only company, other than JET, that teaches in actual school classrooms during the school day and not at an after-school English center. That's awesome, and totally how I want to teach. As for JET, I'm still waitlisted, so who knows maybe I'll pick that one up, but whatever, I fucking got that shit.

Movie Idea

The Future. The polar icecaps have not melted, and we are not entirely underwater. Al Gore’s crusade against greenhouse gasses in an effort to stop ebb global warming has succeeded and fostered a new environmentally conscious society. Beginning in 2008, the world no long elects conservative leaders but rather Barack Obama becomes a symbol of the perfect leader after which all other elected officials are modeled. Pollution is outlawed. World peace is achieved. Prisons become vacant save a few of the most hardened criminals. Hunger and starvation are but footnotes in history. Most importantly of all, there is no more litter on our streets—no landfills to be found. The Future. All garbage is shot into the sun.

The Future. Al Gore’s vision has become a reality and the world has become a utopia until one day it becomes earth’s worst nightmare. That’s right. A canister of space-garbage causes a chemical reaction that halts the fusion reaction taking place on the sun. What was once a battle against global warming has turned into a race against global chilling. The source of all life on earth has been extinguished! Something needs to be done but there is no time to train astronauts for this mission. With a ban on pollution, starting fires became highly illegal, Jack London’s To Build a Fire was banned, and the ability to do so fell out of common knowledge. We must call upon the arsonists in our prisons to re-light the sun!

The Hangover

Funny, but really not that great. 2.5/5 Raccoon City Police Officer Heads.

Actor needed for emotional role � One day high pay

---

Date: 2009-04-17, 12:52PM EDT

My deceased aunt gave my two kids a Cocker Spaniel a few months back. The dog has been a terror and become overwhelming for me. I am a single father raising two young children. I cannot face telling the kids that the dog must go. I have found a good home for the dog, and just need someone to transport the dog, and play the villain.

Premise: You will be the dog walker hired by daddy (me) to walk Skittles. I will introduce you to the kids, and you will tell them you are going to help Skittles get her exercise when Daddy is too busy to walk her. At that point you will walk Skittles to your car and take her to her new family 20 minutes from my place. Then return holding just a leash. The story will be that Skittles broke free of the leash and took off. At this point prepare for crying, things being thrown at you, and possibly cursing. My kids are young and dramatic, their girls.

Pay will be $500. The job will take roughly 2 hours at best.

This job is ideal for an actor looking to diversify their role base, or someone who genuinely likes to make children cry. Acting experience is a plus, but not necessary. Please inform me of any prior experience in this kind of situation.
