Hilarious!


Long break... Trying to recover from jetlag and reintegrate with the family.

Not quite feeling up to snuff.

Guess that sort of explains the break in continuity - but certainly doesn't excuse it.

Let me just say this:

If you haven't seen BORAT yet - get thee to a theater...

I was actually horse the next morning from laughing so hard. Even in the middle of nowheresville Indiana - the theater was 3/4 full - and laughing hard. There was a bit of uncomfortable shifting during the revival service - but otherwise - people here were loving it.

I do think my wife and I were the oldest people in the house though.

Best possible memory:

In the middle of the film - Shawn gets a call from his wife.

Now Shawn and his wife have a history of getting into fights on the phone. And off the phone. From the time they were married - Shawn always tries to not look at me when his wife calls cause I give him hassle and then he gets into trouble.

In the middle of the film - she calls.

Now granted - Shawn was asking for trouble by not telling her he was going. She knew he was playing poker earlier in the night - and then he came home and announced that he was going to the movie.

Guys here might say - if you told her earlier - you would be fighting earlier - so why tell? Girls would say different.

The only other part of the equation that you should know: His wife is 5 months pregnant - and their 4 year old daughter was sick.

So who's side you on now?

Anyways:

She calls. And Shawn tries to keep one hand over the phone and still watch the movie. But we are laughing so hard - it's just making his wife more angry. And he can't get off the phone. It goes for about 10 minutes - and finally he has to go to the lobby.

And for those of you who have seen the movie -

HE LEAVES WHEN THE FIGHT BETWEEN BORAT AND THE PRODUCER GOES DOWN.

For those of you who haven't seen the movie:

IF YOUR WIFE CALLS WHEN THE FIGHT BETWEEN BORAT AND THE PRODUCER GOES DOWN - don't answer the phone.

Cause it is ridiculously hilarious.

Shawn came back after missing about 10 minutes of the film. But he can never get that back.

If you haven't seen it - GO. There is a reason its making money. It's just that funny.

NOTE:

Glad to be back here in the States.

For David and Emily - there actually could be something going down on that film school thing - but just not for at least 4-6 months - so we'll talk.

Spending another day here at home. Meeting with Ryan tomorrow. Both of us need to get our writing in order to catch up.

Heading out to SF for a couple days - then on to LA to work with a couple young stars - one who headlines her own TV series and one who is a singer/actress/reality show starlet. Gotta teach them a little Chinese. How silly is that?

Promise to catch up more as the week unfolds.

Now THERE'S a reality show: Teaching Chinese To Starlets.

That one we could sell.

So you have fun playing the gay board game...what does that make you?
Catan is right up there with Monopoly as far as getting close friends to bribe each other with the right hand and backstab with the left.
(It does help to know all the rules though) Tell Kyle not to be such a wuss. Did he really think he could avoid losing by picking Sean over you? or did he just pick which tyrant he'd rather live under...
...oh well, there's always a next time right? If you ever come back to VA between China and LA then knock on our door.

...did you just play Settlers or did you have the Knights and Cities too? because just Settlers sucks compared to the Knights and Cities version.
