June 6 Funny: I read on Yahoo news that a 51 year old guy got a DUI for driving a lawn mower for a beer run in Maine. Danforth Ross driver's license was revoked, so he drove the lawn mower. lol. I mean, I saw this in Pink's music video "So What?" where she does that, but it was a joke. This guy was serious.
Pick up line: I was reading www.twop.com about Law and Order SVU. I then found this line I could totally submit to www.ecrush.com: "I sweat you like a Coke bottle on a sunny day!"
Maybe they'll put it up, they have put my original lines before. I'll admit I got this line from a website, but it does sound like what a lot of people have put up before.
Eagle Eye: Yesterday was my day off and it was raining. I went to my eye exam and it turns out I haven't been there in 10 years. However, I got these eye glasses since 2001. Anyway, nothing wrong with my eyes.
Now onto the movie Eagle Eye. (Ha ha, my eye exam coincides with the movie title.) It stars Shia LaBeouf who is a associate at a copy store. Later he is pulled into this crazy situation where he gets a phone call from this electronic voice telling him to do things like take a train, stop at this place, get this thing, etc. He meets this single mom who also gets a phone call doing things too.
If they disobey that voice, there will be dire consequences. It's a very smart movie about ordinary people thrown into extraordinary situations. Great action movie with lots of money in it. There is a good car chase scene. As I was watching it, I thought: "I should call that driving school." So I did and left a message. It was some driving academy.
I did call the Young Drivers of Canada, but they told me the Edmonton office closed down last year.
Oz: I saw the character CSU O' Halloran was killed of in the Law and Order: SVU season finale. I was reading about it. There is a link about the actor Mike Doyle who plays the CSU. He talks about dying multiple times on screen.
I like the pic that the NY Times put of him. He's lying on the floor and there is a knife in his chest, and he's laughing.

I was interested. He is good looking. I then went and did something I never did before. I went on Youtube, and watched the HBO TV show Oz. It's about life in prison, and there is lots of swearing because HBO allows that. Sheesh, Prison Break is 14+, and way tame compared to Oz.
I'm getting a flashback of 2003. It was in math class and Mr. Stabile was talking about. This student John talked about it too.
John: It's like The Sopranos times two.
Mr. S: Way more times than that.
News: I was watching TV, and my sister came by and said: "Did you know that they cancelled Privileged?" That show is about a young college graduate who lost her job writing for a tabloid magazine, and then gets a job being a tutor to these high school twin girls.
It's a comedy drama. I will say it was well- written, acted, and good production. However, I wasn't really attached to it. Then I thought about the actor Michael Cassidy. He was written off in the season finale because his character didn't have much to do all season. MC maybe thinking: "Well, I may not be on the show anymore and now no one else is either. Ha, ha." lol.
June 7 Teen pregnancy: Yesterday I was buying bread for my job at Shopper's Drug Mart. There was a line so I read about Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol Palin who got pregnant as a teenager and kept the kid and raised it as her own. They talked to this other teen girl who said she gets govt. assistance about $600/ month so she could raise her baby.
I then got a flashback of this time months ago when my friend Sherry came by at my work. She told me about this friend of hers who's got a really bad case of dyslexia and can't read at all. She can't work the till, and she can't really clean either. She can't read what's soap, and what's bleach. The bottles could be the same color.
Sherry told me that the girl then got pregnant so she could be guaranteed to have money from the govt. coming in. Then this idea came to me. That girl could work as a stripper. There's no reading involved, and she can make a lot of money. You're probably laughing. I don't know if she even has the body for it. Or if she has the confidence or personality to do that.
Good: It turns out Space isn't showing Flash Gordon on Saturday nights at 6pm anymore. Damn. Instead they're showing the new show The Listener. That's good. I then checked, and it turns out they are stilling showing Flash Gordon on Space at 5pm on Sundays. Go check it out.
Wagaami: I was reading The Globe and Mail on Thurs. and I found this article about "meaningless non- physical relationships." There is a website called www.wagaami.com where the creator Ricky Brava made it as a way for toruists to meet good looking locals and give them tours of the city.
The Waagami (or escorts) are charged $50- $100/hr. The clients can't take them home. It's totally platonic. They do mention that it's origin is in Tokyo. Business men go to these night clubs and they talked to smart and attractive women who work there. The hostesses flirt, and listen to their business stories. I remember watching this on 20/20. It was about this American woman who worked at a club like that, and then was later murdered. It was an ep I saw maybe a year or so ago.
Most of the Waagami's are struggling actors and models. Here's an excerpt of the article:
" 'They are sex workers. The minute you're hired for that kind of companionship, there is a sexual element to it,' said Sasha." She then goes on about the site's "look and language" that seems like those escort sites trying to show that they're classy. Also that it's an "acting job." They escort you to the nightclub, theatre, family gathering, etc.
This reminds me of this script I was working on in 2006. This girl needed a guy to pretend to be her boyfriend so she hires an escort. I didn't really get far in this story. Well I am interested in prostitution. That's the only other reason I watch Tyra besides teen pregnancy.
June 8 Stripping: Today I was telling my friend Jen at work about Sherry's dyslexic friend who couldn't get a job, so she had a baby so she could live on welfare. I told her my suggestion of being a stripper. Jen cracked a smile and said: "That's sick." Then we talked about stripping for the rest of the afternoon.
Me: I remember watching W- Five, about this girl who had trouble making rent. She was so desperate she did turn to stripping.
Jen: I would be out on the street before I do that. One time I went to this govt. office in downtown to apply to get money to pay for my rent.
Me: Where's that?
Jen: Like 102 Ave.
Jen: I don't go to strip clubs, I wouldn't date a stripper. I had a friend and then I met her sister who was a stripper. She didn't have a lot of job experience so that's why she stripped. Some weeks she can make $4000 a week depending the night. She mainly stripped to get money to buy drugs to get high.
Me: It can be hard to quit that kind of job where you can make so much money. You leave to go and work at a job where you make $9/hr? It's hard to give up that kind of money.
