A-haaaaaaaaaaaa! I am sending my books off to publishers! I repeat, a-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I just wasted a bunch of paper printing off my submission when I could have emailed it. A-haaaaaaaaaaaaa! I'm such a romantic. Now I need to go buy paper and I'll probably need to buy ink much sooner than later. An email would have been fine with the agent but I, ever the old fashioned guy, like the process of printing off manuscripts and filling out SASEs and filling out manilla envelopes with addresses to New York City. But I am so cheap and now that I am unemployed it makes sense for me to email things but there is nothing like going to the post office with chapters of your books to send off to an agent and then waiting impatiently for the rejetion letter (No, I'm not being a pessimist, I'm just playing the odds, if I was a pessimist and or didn't believe in my work I wouldn't bother sending out my work.) This is not a bad way to spend a Sunday night although I am still very bored and hyper. I NEED THINGS TO DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!----Captain Beyond is really good---haha, back to the books, no, not really, I've said my piece (peace?).
Tomorrow is my radio show. Can you guess the word of the day? I'll give you a hint. It's where I live. Oooh, do I mean a city? A dwelling? A number? Maybe something abstract like hell or heaven? Maybe it's simple. Maybe it's complex. I will never tell you but I promise, promise, oh so ever do I promise that it'll be clear to all but the blind and deaf ;p
And now for the film review section of this blog. I'm exicted, aren't you?
I saw a fantasy---oooh, are you getting excited? Well don't be because I saw MR. MAGORIUM'S MAGIC EMPORIUM (2007). It stars Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Portman and some nine year old boy who I haven't seen since so let's convientantly forget about him. Hoffman played the mysterious and three century old Magorium with a slight lisp, lots of gray hair, and an air of idiot aloofness that is befitting of a magical man. He wouldn't be very wonderful if he understood culture mores, right? Exactly. Hoffman was okay. He was over the top and not in a good way. Portman can't act and she isn't a flavor I like to indulge in so her role as the young assistant who must discover her destiny under Magorium's tutalage falls flat (Hayden Christension, Jar Jar Binks, and that little Anakin from ep. 1 aren't the only reason episodes 1-3 sucked). Zack Helm who wrote and directed the story is never able to gel the story so it feels hollow and distant and at times it seems like it was making fun of magical stories even though it wasn't. Avoid at all costs unless you like Portman. If you like Hoffman, avoid this movie. He's done so many others that this isn't worth your time.
And the next movie is (drum roll please) ....................................THE SECRET LIVES OF ADULT STARS It's a documentary from 2004 and it covers the straight porn industry. It talks to a bunch of male and female porn actors, some famous, some not (I'd never heard of any of them but then I watch porn to get aroused, not to care that's a there's a mind attched to the penis,---that's right i'm objectivfying men, how do you like them apples?---hehe, mmm, men are delicious creatures, the lines, the angles). Anyhoo, the movie breaks down the life of a porn star and shows how glamorous it is, which is to say it isn't. The actors talk about other revenue streams (women have them, men are literally underpaid dildos). All and all, a good movie for the curious. And there is no nudity so don't expect anything more than shots of boobs---no bush, no cock.
Now wasn't that fun. Until tomorrow my little wittle audience.
