Well, I’m hoping anyhow. The house up the street that’s falling apart.. (as referenced by a living hominid here) has a big dumpster in front of it, as well as some safety orange fencing and caution tape. We saw somethign like this once before though, and the dumpster was filled then removed. That was it. Hopefully it means they’re finally doing somethign about that thing though.

Got the tip off from Sticks of Fire . Females looking to do movies…check out..http://www.thelastguyonearth.com/

Why would a critic write out an important plot twist? If I thought it would do any good I’d ask both of you to write letters demanding his removal as critic.
Damn I’m pissed off. I’m not linking to the article because if you haven’t seen the play, I don’t want you reading it.

Standing Ovation

The winner of the contest for March of the Kitefliers tickets was Tim Burke from the University of South Floria with..

For the time is right now
I need this sparkling moment
For some great champagne.
Where is your wine cellar, my friend.
My throat longs for some of that taste.

Can you bake some chickens with that champagne.
My quest for poultry is insatiable.
I still need my chicken supplement.
Not that chicken, THAT’S MY PET!

Can I sit at your kitchen table.
The one with the wooded mahogany chairs.
I will sit there and eat like a madman.
I will dump salt and pepper in your drink.

In a suprise move I also gave away a single ticket to the runner-up, Dawn Narramore, with…

This is a story
moo-moo-moodeley-moo
About a cow
moo-moo-moodeley-moo
And Life
Life, life, lifedy life

Oh that cow
moo, moo, moo
That cow eats grass
That cow eats as much grass
as he wa-ants to
Ding, Boom

Oh that cow
moo, moo, moo
That cow eats grass
That cow eats as much grass
as he wa-ants to
Ding, Boom

Life.
Loathe it or ignore it,
you can’t ignore it.
Life.
We dwell on it.
Life.
Life, health, home and auto
turn to
Death, sickness, rubble and totaled
Life.
Do you know how important life is to us?
If it weren’t for life,
we wouldn’t be living.
So always remember, and never forget.
Life.

Mooooooooo.

Enjoy the show!!

Okay folks, we have a winner and as soon as I hear back from them I’ll make it public who won.

The contest is officially over. We’ll be deciding the winner later today. Stay tuned…

JUST A REMINDER!!!!
That’s right folks it’s contest time. I’m giving away two tickets to see the WORLD PREMIER of The March of the Kitefliers on opening weekend at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center.

The play takes place in a coffee shop. The play also has an open mic night filled with hilariously bad poetry. To enter the contest all you have to do is send an email to
BADPOETRY at GONZONIA.COM with the worst open mic poetry you can come up with. ORIGINAL POETRY ONLY. Please don’t send me Emily Dickinson just because your 9th grade English teacher derided you about your choice in undergarments.

The poems will be judged on whatever me, the other writer and the director decide we like the best. If you win I’ll email you and let you know. You’ll be able to use the tickets for any show opening weekend (8pm Fri. Aug 5th, 8pm Sat Aug 6th, or 4pm Sun Aug. 7th. I’ll need to know in advance which show and they’ll be waiting for you at will call).

All entries must be recieved by 11:59pm July 29. The winner will be notified by August 1st.

Good luck and may the worst poet win.

I have to say, I feel like there’s this expectation now. That there’s this group of people out there who have my site up on their screen and every 30 seconds they’re hitting the refresh button waiting to see if I’ve posted something. Usually they just sigh and wait some more, but today, they will be elated as I post not once, but twice (and within just minutes of each other!)

Okay, well, there’s really not much to post about. We’ve got some good (bad?) entries for the contest. Still hoping to get more. The young’un’s sleeping patters are still incredibly erratic, much to his mother’s dismay. Some nights he sleeps for 4 hours at a time, but Sunday night he woke every hour and fed then spent all of Monday tired and irritable.

We did discover though that setting a bed time routine seems to have helped in at least getting him to start sleeping earlier. For the past couple of nights he went to sleep before 10pm!

Exciting, exciting stuff I know. Please try to control your enthusiasm. However, if you feel you must do something, you can use my contact form to request donation or wish list information.
