The Post Where All Standards are Thrown Out The Window

When I started working on this blog, I told myself that this would be different from other blogs; I wouldn’t just surf the internet and post links to other websites here, and I certainly wouldn’t write run-on sentences that refer to myself constantly. This would be a place of creative expression, where a mixture of well thought-out essays and fiction and multimedia live in creative harmony. It would not be self-indulgent fluff text about absolutely nothing. These were the rules.

And rules were made to be broken.

One of my favorite place to get interesting links is Stay Free magazine, particularly the Stay Free blog.

While reviewing the blog, I read about a fellow named John Hargrave who apparently likes pranking credit card companies, pointing out huge flaws in the company security systems.

Since I am (slowly) working on a Dayjobs and Nightmares podcast about credit reports and huge flaws in the entire credit reporting system, web sites like this is pure inspiration.

Something else inspirational is Improv Everywhere.

Makes me wish I had enough time to organize a Dallas chapter Improv Everywhere.

This week’s Media Feed podcast is being edited! As soon as all the “um”s and “err”s are removed, it will be ready for posting. And the Dayjobs and Nightmares podcast is also under construction. Hopefully, it will be well worth the wait.

Closer: The Abridged Script

Taking direction from Rod Hilton's The Editing Room, I have decided to make ridiculous fun of a movie that I recently saw by writing a script abridgement. If you liked Closer, I want you to know that I am sincerly grateful that this film brought you joy. However, you and I are just going to have to agree to disagree on this one. Nothing anyone will say will make me like this film, and nothing I will say will convince someone to hate it.

Except maybe if I say, "Why don't you watch Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and then come back and talk to me about Closer?"
