The Utter Depravity
 

Ahhhh I have a question....what is WORK, and how do you do it? Is it hard?

Mother came over the other day fit to be tied, of course she was well lubricated with a couple of Vodka Tonics under her belt...Her opening was 'HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?" throwing my latest financial statements into my face. I stuttered, "Ahhhh No....you know very well that you take care of it for me." She nearly became unhinged as she said, "Well Buddy Boy your headed for financial ruin, the way you go through money you'd think your Farouk or something." I meekly managed, "BROKE???" Smiling she said, "YEP, Broke with a capital B you miserable fk.." Then she dropped it on me, she suggested that I get a job and go to work like everybody else... "But Mother I am not like everybody else," I said pleadingly..."Isn't there something you can do to fix it?" She said, "I can't do miracles, go to WORK." I am stunned at the utter depravity of the suggestion. ME go to work like anyother schmuck...pbbbt give me a break.

one word: writer

wait...two words: alcoholic writer

hmm...maybe the second is redundant...

Damn it, Tabs! Why didn't you post this around 5PM, when a top lit. agent from CAA was over at our house with his kids, trick-or-treating?

Nuts! I could have gotten a finder's fee or something. Now Wayne (from MIT) owns your "Utter Depravity." :(

I was sleeping....

Damn it, Tabs! The world's hankering for another "Psycho." And the boonies of Vegas is the perfect backdrop. Damn it!

Your CAA Lit Agent...goes on line doesn't he? Send him the link..

I would. Problem is our dog gave him an allergy attack. Now he's pissed. I better not talk to him for a couple weeks.

You know Hollywood. Fickle as all hell...

But hell, you can belt out at least 50 pages in two weeks, right? ;)

I want in on the table read.

Now let me see...Circle K is hiring...

Ahhh how bout this...can you imagine a younger Rober Duvall as a Serial Killer....

U mean get a job where I sit around and do nothing?

Work for me is too much fun. I work for a kickass programmer who writes for O'Reilly, and who originally taught me Java. Everyday working with him feels like I'm in school, or like I'm some sort of apprentice. I work 13 hours a day, then do schoolwork. The money is good, but the experience is worth a thousand times more than that.

You gotta meet my poker addict writer buddy who lives in Summerlin...He knows that Vegas mayor's body-guard (ex-CIA) guy that burned his girlfriend's house down and went on a rampage.

Sure. It beats Will Smith as James Bond...

Or the left-wing bastardization of the Manchurian Candidate.

Well, there is that. But out here, you've got, yes, the left-wing bastardization, PLUS, the politically correct bastardization, then the talent-drained industry in general who figures remakes are original ideas. :rolleyes:

With that, I'm looking forward to "Good Night and Good Luck," "Capote," and "Jarhead," (mostly on the track record of those who made "American Beauty."

Still trying to keep the McCarthy myth alive (I am sure they just won't have the time for the McCarthy vindicating Venona Project)...Unfortunately for the left the internet has changed the face of information dissemination forever...It will be interesting to see how they deal with the lie that McCarthy controlled the HUAC.

Prostitute inspector? There have to be some in the surrounding counties.

My other suggestion, is run for office...

Let me know when you hit rock bottom. And what kind of Porsche you have. And what you want for it. In that order.
