Just End the Damn Thing Already

I was reading an article
In Entertainment Weekly
Or, the Bible, as I refer to it
The Weekly Bible of Entertainment—

(Less Offensive?  Maybe?)

—And they were talking about how
Nobody wants to end tv shows anymore
On a final note
Because they might have to be rebooted later on
And they need to leave the door
Open for that

And reading that
Made me want to find a lava pit
And cast myself into it
The way I keep hoping
Britt Robertson (sp? Never mind.  Don’t care.) will

In addition to everything else
We’re losing in the world

We’re now losing ENDINGS?

Like, we can’t endings anymore, folks
The world won’t allow it

I swear to god
If I ever get to be involved with a tv show
I am ending the series
With everyone on the show
Riding a bus
That goes right into a canyon

And that will kill me
Because I will probably love all those characters
Most of whom will be teenagers
Because I refuse to write any tv show
That isn’t an obvious homage to Dawson’s Creek
But I will kill them for the greater good
So that nobody else can come along twenty years later
And reboot that shit

Although, knowing my luck
Someone will be like—

Just kidding!  It was all a dream
The bus didn’t go into the canyon
One of the characters just fell asleep on the bus
And now everything’s fine

And I’ll have to go to the set
And make a scene
And they’ll have me escorted off the lot
And just as they’re kicking me into the street
They’ll tell me to stop sending Britt Robertson (again sp?) hate mail
And I’ll be like ‘Screw you!’
Because I’ll never stop sending her hate mail

I
Will
Never
Stop

But really, everybody
Endings?

We can’t even have endings anymore?
So this is all just going to go on forever?


Why does that scare the hell out of me?

A List of People Who Can Go to Hell Now That I Can't Have Elizabeth Warren

So today was a rough day for everybody who isn't a @#$%-ing #$%hole. Let's just start there. If that upsets you, by all means, go straight to hell. This entire rant is going to be exactly what it sounds like. I am mad and I am going to exercise my right to BLOG ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S 1995, SO BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP. I really don't even know where to start, so let's just jump right in with the first person who comes to mind. Bloomberg, go to hell.  You really didn't have anything specific to do with today, but you can just go to hell for spending an ungodly amount of money on literally nothing.  I mean, you could have lit millions of dollars on fire and at least warmed the hands of the homeless, but instead, you made tv stations across the country that are already owned by Conservatives rich, so kudos to you and go to hell. Amy Klobuchar, I STUCK UP FOR YOU AMY.  I got into FIGHTS on SOCIAL MEDIA while DEFENDING your sorry, self-interested ass.  You know ...

Theater and the Outbreak

After last week's interview, a representative from a theater that recently experienced the results of opening too soon reached out to speak with me. I want to thank this person for coming forward in the hopes that it'll change some minds about what's safe and what isn't when it comes to the performing arts. Here's the interview: ME:  So this wasn't a full production or-- THEM:  No. It was us trying to do a little something for friends and donors. ME:  Who is 'us?' THEM:  The board of _____. ME:  And how long have you been on the board? THEM:  Three years. ME:  What was this going to be? THEM:  There's a, uh, beautiful park here in town, and we wanted to do an outdoor performance of a Shakespeare as a benefit, because, as you know, theaters are having a hard time right now paying the bills. We checked with the local government and the health department for the state to make sure we were doing everything the way we needed to in order to keep everyon...

Theater and The Big Bad Wolf

My conversation today is unique in that it's with someone I had never spoken to until the time came to do this interview.  If you read last week's conversation, you know that this person was referred to me.  They are a theater artist with a long career and impressive resume who has since decided to leave their respective theater community. Here's the interview: ME:  I feel so liberated talking to you already because you're from so far away. THEM:  Canada's not that far away. ME:  You're my first international conversation. THEM:  I feel like I have to represent all of my country right now. ME:  You do.  You really do. THEM:  I've been preparing for this my whole life. ME:  You were--I don't know if the word should be 'referred,' but someone said--You need to talk to so-and-so, and here we are. THEM:  Here we are. ME:  Now, your story is one I think we've heard a lot, but what was interesting to me in the con...
