How is your day? Someone sent this to me at work and I found it hilarious! ...I'm not sure they intended it to be that way:

Photobucket

This image was sent to me with a script with the premise that large people could explode at anytime. Terrorists are in attempting to get them to become suicide bombers. ...it was not a comedy.

Photobucket

I Saw this hanging in Museum Saturday afternoon and someone said, "Makes you think, huh?" to me. I retorted by saying, "Oh yes, it makes me think of how I would make a movie out of the PAC-MAN videogame". :

Photobucket

This is the image I sent back to the person who sent the Sonny & Cher photo from the top. Too much? :

Photobucket

Write me, I miss you! I think the crazies are getting me... :P

Tuesday is a waste of a day. No one gets anything done. I've learned nothing today except that people will watch any film as long as there are chimpanzees in it and that if you place both paddles to a defibrillator against your skull and turn it on, your eyeballs will explode. ...and that's one to grow on. How is your day going? I wish that you could magically appear at the film I'm showing on Friday? :P

This is what I am doing at work today. I have a stack of films that may be either: 1) 1970's educational films or 2) 1970's porn films. Wanna take a guess which are which, just on the titles alone? Here:
1) Two Women and A Carrot
2) Pork: The Meal that Squeals
3) Skag
4) The Needs of Pregnant Women
5) The Nylon Man
6) How to become a Stewardess?
7) How to score with the Women's Volleyball Team
8) Man, Woman and Candle
9) Fun things you can do with Crisco
10) Just like the Monkeys do!

Here are some pretty dames to distract you:

Darling,
How was your week-end? Mine must have been good, because I'm driving people to "re-hab" next weekend..? As long as everyone doesn't lose their taste for debauchery, then I start shooting my next film in July, it seems. What do you have coming up? You are always welcome to come sin with me?

I have to program "The world's most prestigious movie Theatre". Ugh... I don't know what I am going to show? They would play between Casablanca and Citizen Kane, probably. Here are the posters for all the films on my desk. Would you go to any of these?!?!?

How's your week looking? I'm gearing up to show YOR at the LOC on Friday. Yep, that's how I choose to spend this nation's tax dollars. ...it's a caveman vs dinosaurs vs aliens in UFOs. (I'll try to send you the trailer). It's absurdly awful! Still, it's better than letting them waste it all on a fruitless war, right? Wish you could come and play!

If you don't look for peace of mind, then how do you get it?

Jose, indeed. One of my former students who still remembers your poems I introduced to him in high school sent me the link. I had another student send me a link for Jeff and Joe Ray. The new canon!
