There is a race of alien ant women living under Calgary

And Justin Trudeau isn't doing a DAMN thing about it !

I had what might actually be a good idea today . I was thinking about how when you're writing for a visual medium you can't really show two different things happening at the same time , not well anyway . You've got the A plot and the B plot going on "kind of" simultaneously but you can't show anything else . Specifically I was thinking about an episode of Firefly where Jayne isn't in the first two acts as much because it's focused on other character but he shows up in act 3 - which is a normal thing in shows that have a lot of characters , you focus on a couple and then at the end they all meet up again .

So I was thinking that in today's modern era with people wanting to interact and so forth what you should do is write and shoot several things going on simultaneously and then have points where you can follow whichever part you want to see .

Such as let's say Baron Orlov hires the crew of the good ship Hard Eight to ferry his in secret , due to a kidnapping threat , to her wedding aboard the luxury space liner Titaness .

So you start with a scene where the Princess , her bodyguard and her wedding planner/chaperone come aboard the Hard Eight and then from there you can choose if you want to focus on Captain Beelzebub and Nurse Funny finding out the princess is being forced into this marriage (the standard A plot) or follow Doctor Patrick and Oliver discovering that the wedding planner is more than she seems (the standard B plot) or you can choose to see Georgia and Sargent Ron getting chippy with the bodyguard because they find out he was on the Union side of the Persion Rebellion . Then you it back to a more centralized scene and split off and make choices again .

Not only does this allow you to focus more on the characters you care about and/or avoid the one's you don't like there's more content for the superfans and completists that want to know it all . And this way you can show why at the end Georgia is so willing to draw down on the bodyguard instead of trying to explain it away with some oddly placed dialog .

I also thought of this because I started watching Weeds and while I generally like Kevin Nealon his part has little to no bearing on the main plot so far and I don't care about it - I'd like to see more of what the other secondary characters are up to .

Dear God , I do not ask for health or wealth . People ask you so often that you can't have any left . Give me , God , what else you have . Give me what no-one else asks for . Amen .

I know you've been dying to hear what's been annoying me lately so here it is - checks received in the mail where the perforation on the check is half a millimeter away from the fold of the letter . Put the perforation ON the fold , everyone knows that !

A couple of gals at work today were discussion the relative merits of "strappy panties" which sounded made-up but I have discovered is a real thing . So I learned something today . So I have to apologize to Lala (assuming she reads this) because I told her earlier that I hadn't learned anything today . I should have know better , the day wasn't over yet .

I've decided my goal for 2018 is to own a purple thong .

"They" say that sneezing is 1/3rd of an orgasm which is stupid . But I tell you this - I decided to end my highly successful masturbation moratorium the other day and I sneezed an instant after shooting my wad and the contraction in my body sent said wad flying like it was shot out of a cannon . It was quite something . Not something good mind you , but something .

For the timeframe from when I first heard it until this weekend I thought the song "You Sexy Thing" was by Tom Jones . Turns out it's by a group called Hot Chocolate . Am I alone in that or is that a common mistake ?

Which got me to wondering when did I first hear that song ? I'm sure it wasn't on the radio . I would wager (were I the type to lay wagers) that I probably first heard it in 1989 when it was featured in a Burger King commercial .

I was going to say something about how it has to suck to be Hot Chocolate as a one hit wonder that people don't even know who they are but it turns out that had a top ten hit every year for 14 years straight . So clearly I don't know enough about Hot Chocolate .

Regardless I wonder how it would feel to have one hit song that people don't hate (seems like most one hit wonders end up being despised) but people think its by another artist . Some people seem to be embarrassed by one hit wonder status . Seems like better than being a no-hit wonder though right ? But then if someone else gets the credit ? Dunno .

I was going to end this blog by being really mean to an obese dude who was criticizing Paige for being "chunky" in her return to the WWE . But I've decided not to because what's the point of being mean to someone if they don't know about it ? I'll just go to his house and bang his mom . That's something everyone can enjoy .

Our entire culture and politics are now dominated by people who have weaponized bad faith and shamelessness

Agreed about Kevin Nealon not being a valuable addition to Weeds.

And well, you're gonna have to choose between Lala and me, because I really want you to get that purple thong. *Hee hee hee maniacal laughter*

It does seem like some of the more convoluted shows should offer a "god mode" subscription where you can have several screens going where you can follow certain characters as they go off screen in the main show either on a small screen (tablet or laptop) or as a straight text thing on a similar device. Works for sports fans.

Not the Whole Truth but the truth that I can see.
