Wisdom

I have never bought anything I own by stealing it.

Water is fresh yet comes from the ground.

Little men live on Mars, yet Little Women live in the movies and on Broadway.

Beware the Ides of March, they spoil within two weeks.

Blue jeans are good jeans and green jeans are mean jeans.

I have no super powers but I can fly, inside an aeroplane.

Movie Pitches

Mount Everest The Movie

It's a movie we've all been waiting to see. It stars me, two sticks found in my back yard, this little Italian ballerina, and a dog who will charm your pants off. You should see this ballerina she can dance on walls with those pointed toes of hers. Like a gyroscope. Basically, the movie chronicles how Moutn Everest got so friggin' tall. There's a car chase involving the Carpathian Mountains. And the end has a sweet little surprise which makes me think of "The Way We Were." In other words, it makes me cry. Truly a touching story. And more importantly a touching story about Mount Everest. Finally. Anybody got Fifty mill?

Thursday

Today is I-Wish-I-Had-A-Jet-Pack-Thursday. I wish I had a jet pack so I could flick on the power boosters and leave this boring office through the skylight. I'd probably shatter glass and have to clean it up tomorrow. But I wouldn't. Because I'm going through one of those I-don't-feel-like-being-here-so-I'll-be-difficult Phases.

Star Wars

I saw the latest Star Wars movie, "Revenge of the Sith." It was very exciting. There were robots and space ships and sometimes the robots would fight the space ships.

I went and saw it in a full movie theatre. The place was packed. I enjoyed screaming loud before the movie began. As the film was starting I saw these three kids raise their toy lightsabers. I looked around the large theatre expecting to see a whole tapestry of plastic light sabers raised in allegiance to Star Wars. I was disappointed. It was just the three kids.

I am currently on a liver cleanse diet and could not have any popcorn so I brought a ziploc bag of homemade fun treats which included a mix of cashews, pecans, almonds, and oat rolled dates. It was delicious, althought I think I ate the caloric and fat equivalent of two steaks. Two steaks and Star Wars? Sounds like a good day to me. Thank you, George Lucas.
