Last night, there were enough of us around the table at Mytown's Playwrights' Lab to read all the parts of Count of Three; I was the only woman (a first!) so I read the role of Anna Nicole, which served to be revelatory.
Everyone did a great job with the reading and provided VERY HELPFUL comments, especially where confusion was involved:
So, now I'm working on the fourth draft, and so far, there's a lot more of the eff word.
Grant Miller Media is the newest name on my Blogroll. Welcome, Grant Miller Media.
Tonight if anyone shows up to Playwright's Lab, the THIRD DRAFT of Count of Three will be read aloud for the first time. It's up to 17 pages (don't know where the 18-page draft of it went but no loss, this one is really good) and I've filled two of the primary roles, out of four. Anyone want to come read at Forbes tonight at 6:30?
Has anyone ever referred to the country of Israel as a “gated community”? If not, I call it.
I ordered some Sea Monkeys a few weeks ago but instead they sent me sea urchins. No shiny golden crowns… these wear tattered brown jackets and too-small shoes. My tank's all grimy with soot and they're endlessly hitting up my betas for extra change, or gruel.
“Please, sir, may I have some more?” they whine, plaintive.
Mel·an·cho·li·ac (yes, it's a noun, but I want to change its job description) sea urchins. Urchin infestation; the fishtank as ghetto. It's a total drag. I'm never ordering Sea Monkeys again.
Sheesh, people… so I post one thing that shows I have serious thoughts in my head (“Infinite Jest-ing”), and nobody's commented since. So you can go ahead and comment on this one by congratulating me on MY 200TH POST! Woo hoo!
Of course I'm going to write about Paris Hilton. I mean, duh. I'll be keeping her Jail Journal for her.
45 days in County, starting June 5.
So, what are you going to do this Summer Vacation?
My alma mater times two celebrates its 150th birthday today. That's a lot of cake!!!
Perhaps. I'm just not sure whether it'd be a comedy or a tragedy.
I've contacted the four major players for next week's read of Count of Three, which is good because I will be busy through Monday night and it needed to get done. Waiting to hear from two of the four, but the other two have agreed and they have the second-draft scripts now. I've printed my .pdf files of CoT and Lindsay Lohan's Birkin, wherein I've found 10 words to cut and feel certain I'll add to CoT before the reading.
