It's been pretty fantastic year for me, artistically speaking...and I'm hoping to continue the streak with a remounting of In Our Own Image at FRIGID 2011...So keep your fingers crossed.
In order for that to happen, though, I need to rework the final of the 3 plays that make up Image, Who Art In. I've had some strokes of brilliance (ha!) this week, and rewriting has begun...So that's very exciting.
That said...my self-diagnosed (well, to be honest, my mother diagnosed it first) ADD is kicking in and from an artistic perspective, reworking Who Art In just isn't enough. In addition to that, and providing comments to Jamie on his great play, Roy of Troy, and working with Casey on the play (musical?) he's conceived, I've decided to pick back up with my series of 175 short plays, Over the Table and Under the Bar. To-date, I've written, or begun writing, 94 plays for the series, so I'm just over halfway there...
Only 3 have been transcribed from my handwritten journal to the typed and formatted template, but baby steps. So that transcription is going to be happening as often as possible. I don't consider the plays complete until they're typed in. So, here are the titles so far:
1) You Don't Know, Jack
2) Excess Hollywood
3) Eldergarten
Hopefully, I'll get #4 typed in today.
All that said...Here's the question, responses, and song for the next/current play...Feel free to add your own responses in the comments section...And, for more info on what the hell Over the Table and Under the Bar is all about, go HERE.
Question 21:
Would you stop eating all junk food to live 5 years longer? Why or why not?
Responses:
- I would give it up. And as many have said, the extra five years would feel like 10 without junk food.
- Extra 5 over 80—no; under 80, yes. I’m really not hooked on junk food. Easy to give up. Bread and cheese, much harder, yet I would still give it up for 5 more years if I was under 80 years old.
- NO - How could they be good years without cookies? Enjoying food is part of life’s pleasure and life’s regrets usually include missed opportunities for having fun. No one dies saying, “I should have had more broccoli.”
- Ask me when I’m 70
Song:
When I Met the Girl, by Big Kid
Lyrics:
When I met the girl
I lost my mind
'cause she is the only one that turns my world upside down
When I met the girl
she stole my heart
right from the start I knew she saw right through me, already knew me, makes me crazy, Oh Yeah!
(Chorus)
Girl gives me feelings I never had before
Blushing under cover, She's like no other
I never had a reason to love like this before
Girl gives me feelings, Oh Yeah!
'Cause I can't get her out of my mind,
Can't get her out of my mind- at all
When I met the girl, you changed my world
She is the only one that turns my world upside down
At the end of the day
I call her name
Gives me this crazy feeling when she calls back, turns her head, smiles at me, Oh Yeah!
(Chorus)
Girl gives me feelings I never had before
Blushing under cover, She's like no other
I never had a reason to love like this before
Girl gives me feelings, Oh Yeah!
'Cause I can't get her out of my mind,
Can't get her out of my mind- at all
When I met the girl...
Ask me what I dream of
Ask me what I think of
When I'm not with you
Ask me what I dream of
Ask me what I think of
When I'm not with you
When I'm not with you
when I met the girl
I lost my mind
'cause she is the only one that turns my world upside...
(Chorus)
Girl gives me feelings I never had before
Blushing Under Cover, She's like no other
I never had a reason to love like this before
Girl gives me feelings, Oh Yeah!
'Cause I can't get her out of my mind,
Can't get her out of my mind- at all
When I met the Girl- I met the girl
When I met the Girl- I met the girl
