: The Automata Pieta
A play that will make you laugh, cry...and laugh and cry some more. Set in Arizona, it opens with the voices of a fed-up mother and two young sisters. The sisters (Jennifer and Shambhala) are arguing over their "Bambi" doll (think Barbie here, folks) and the mom finally throws the doll out the car window. Bambi (that's right...Klie is a blowup doll...sexxxy) then gets toxic waste dumped on her by Norris, a guy that's hurrying to get to a hotel to lose his virginity, and Dean, his friend. Bambi comes to life and spends the rest of the play searching for her "mommies," the two sisters. She meets a young Navajo man named Elvis who tries to help her out and is later arrested by the policewoman, Maggie (that's right...Melanie with handcuffs, sexxxxxy), for the supposed disappearance of Bambi. The sisters, meanwhile, get abandoned in a hotel by their mom. They're found by Maggie and separated. Jennifer is sent to a Catholic school (that's right -- Anna's gonna be in a Catholic school girl outfit....sexxxxxxxxxy) while Shambhala runs away and becomes an exotic dancer (that's right -- Sharla in a G-string...sexxxxxxxxxxy). Jennifer's only friend is the radio pirate, bootylicious Vortexia (that's right -- Latoya eats a Milky Way nice and slow...sexxxxxxxy), a "pioneer in the fight for women's freedom to eat without guilt and to accept their bodies the way they are." The character Time orchestrates all this and has quite a lot to rant about.

i studied for my french test for 10 hours. and in the end, it wasn't as difficult as i thought it would be. that's the way with everything, isn't it?
anna nicole smith died. which makes me sad and everyone else sad, too because even though when she was alive she was dead (yes, stupid. i can speak ill of the dead if i want to)... wow. i didn't even realize i typed "dead" instead of "stupid." and dead sounds so much better. and i've lost my train of thought. and i keep going wider without getting deeper. i take things at face value, even if they're two-faced. and i wonder, what would happen if i just stopped caring? if i didn't see a God anymore in this world? god, i don't WANT to be dead even when i was alive. i don't WANT to be. am i headed for the same brick wall? and i think horrible thoughts. like, oh this is happening to her and not to me, thank God. i don't want it to happen to her. i don't want it to happen to anyone. you've got to believe me. 5th February 20075th January 2007

Unfortunately, their charity includes poisoning lonely men who come to their home looking for a place to stay." All of the characters have an element of crazy: Mortimer, the "sane" nephew of the aunts who is trying to cover up their "charity" work; Mortimer's brother, who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; and Mortimer's other brother Jonathan, an insane serial killer who looks like Boris Karloff! These are but a few of the many delightful characters (the most delightful being Elaine Harper, Mortimer's fiancee, played by none other than Anna Giles). This is a really amazing, funny production (made into a movie starring Carey Grant. But don't watch the movie, come see the play). Please come and support!

you know how in those movies a character will be late for work or having a bad day, and they'll step out of a car right into a big puddle and gets one side of their pants drenched up to the calf? yeah, that's what happened to me today.
today in poli sci [i'm paraphrasing this for the most part]: teacher: [lecturing on the link between hollywood and politics] conservatives often use hollywood to attract other conservatives by saying that hollywood is filled with debauchery and violence and that it's wrong and terrible. stupid student: well, i think movies always bash conservatives [there is a point in this, i'm sure some movies do] teacher: that's a good point. can you think of an example: [silence. crickets....more silence] girl: farenheit 9/11. other stupid students: yeah, yeah, oh, yeah. teacher: well...that's not exactly the kind of movie i was talking about, that's more of a biased documentary another stupid student: "v for vendetta" made fun of the bush administration. me: what?!?! and then i said that "v" did NOT make fun of bush. if you remember/have seen the movie, one of the dictator's henchmen used God a lot in his horrible speeches to england (yeah...ENGLAND...'cause that's where we obviously live) to justify the way the government ruled and said things like, "i'm a christian and goddamn proud of it!" but it had absolutely no reference to the bush administration at all. of course, i didn't say that as well as i could've. i probably just sounded like a pissed christian-hatin' non-God-fearin' LIBERAL, which is in all ways false. i don't know, maybe "v" DID have some anti-bush propaganda thrown in there. maybe you were deeply offended by the mysterious and aloof anti-bush themes in the movie if there were any, or felt justified by the anti-bush themes in the movie, if there were any, or maybe you wish there were anti-bush themes in it and THERE AREN'T, or maybe, like me, you think it was JUST A MOVIE, not everything is about loving or hating the bush administration, and you took away from it re-affirmed or challenged political beliefs and that left you better off (or worse off, you tell me). soooo, to sum it all up in a completely judging, un-christian like way: i hate stupid rednecks. i.e., the people in my political science class. 18th September 2006

Is best friend Giles helping her through it? Bump watch alert for Giles: either she's pregnant or just eats too damn much. A source close to the BFFs say the night before they stayed up and watched bad movies: Teaching Mrs. Tingle and Showgirls.

: 'Crocodile Hunter' Dies Doing What He Loved
CAIRNS, Australia (AP) - Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and conservationist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. He was 44. Irwin was at Batt Reef, off the remote coast of northeastern Queensland state, shooting a segment for a series called "Ocean's Deadliest" when he swam too close to one of the animals, which have a poisonous bard on their tails, his friend and colleague John Stainton said. "He came on top of the stingray and the stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart," said Stainton, who was on board Irwin's boat at the time. Crew members aboard the boat, Croc One, called emergency services in the nearest city, Cairns, and administered CPR as they rushed the boat to nearby Low Isle to meet a rescue helicopter. Medical staff pronounced Irwin dead when they arrived a short time later, Stainton said. Irwin was famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchword "Crikey!" in his television program "Crocodile Hunter." First broadcast in Australia in 1992, the program was picked up by the Discovery network, catapulting Irwin to international celebrity. He rode his image into a feature film, 2002's "The Crocodile Hunters: Collision Course" and developed the wildlife park that his parents opened, Australia Zoo, into a major tourist attraction. "The world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet," Stainton told reporters in Cairns. "He died doing what he loved best and left this world in a happy and peaceful state of mind. He would have said, 'Crocs Rule!"' Prime Minister John Howard, who hand-picked Irwin to attend a gala barbecue to honor President Bush when he visited in 2003, said he was "shocked and distressed at Steve Irwin's sudden, untimely and freakish death." "It's a huge loss to Australia," Howard told reporters. "He was a wonderful character. He was a passionate environmentalist. He brought joy and entertainment and excitement to millions of people." Irwin, who made a trademark of hovering dangerously close to untethered crocodiles and leaping on their backs, spoke in rapid-fire bursts with a thick Australian accent and was almost never seen without his uniform of khaki shorts and shirt and heavy boots. His ebullience was infectious and Australian officials sought him out for photo opportunities and to promote Australia internationally. Irwin's public image was dented, however, in 2004 when he caused an uproar by holding his infant son in one arm while feeding large crocodiles inside a zoo pen. Irwin claimed at the time there was no danger to the child, and authorities declined to charge Irwin with violating safety regulations. Later that year, he was accused of getting too close to penguins, a seal and humpback whales in Antarctica while making a documentary. Irwin denied any wrongdoing, and an Australian Environment Department investigation recommended no action be taken against him. Stingrays have a serrated, toxin-loaded barb, or spine, on the top of their tail. The barb, which can be up to 10 inches long, flexes if a ray is frightened. Stings usually occur to people when they step on or swim too close to a ray and can be excruciatingly painful but are rarely fatal, said University of Queensland marine neuroscientist Shaun Collin. Collin said he suspected Irwin died because the barb pierced under his ribcage and directly into his heart. "It was extraordinarily bad luck. It's not easy to get spined by a stingray and to be killed by one is very rare," Collin said. News of Irwin's death spread quickly, and tributes flowed from all quarters of society. At Australia Zoo at Beerwah, south Queensland, floral tributes were dropped at the entrance, where a huge fake crocodile gapes. Drivers honked their horns as they passed. "Steve, from all God's creatures, thank you. Rest in peace," was written on a card with a bouquet of native flowers. "We're all very shocked. I don't know what the zoo will do without him. He's done so much for us, the environment and it's a big loss," said Paula Kelly, a local resident and volunteer at the zoo, after dropping off a wreath at the gate. Stainton said Irwin's American-born wife Terri, from Eugene, Ore., had been informed of his death, and had told their daughter Bindi Sue, 8, and son Bob, who will turn 3 in December. The couple met when she went on vacation in Australia in 1991 and visited Irwin's Australia Zoo; they were married six months later. Sometimes referred to as the "Crocodile Huntress," she costarred on her husband's television show and in his 2002 movie. Current Mood:
