Fear of Flying
Here is a post from an old blog I had running. Kind of an interesting story from my flight to London.
Voyage of the Damned
Here is a short play I wrote for the 2009 summer blitz at the bartell theatre in Madison, WI. The theme was “Malcom McDowell movies”, and we picked play titles out of a hat. I got “Voyage of the Damned” as my pick, as well as 2 male and 2 female characters. We were also supposed to have one character that would be portrayed by a “Mad Rolling Doll” roller derby skater. Try to guess what role she got below… it isn’t difficult. The whole experience was awesome, and they put on a great production. Read it below, in its entirety.
In an effort to make their games more extreme, many publishers have decided to add a male character yelling on the cover of their games. This simple decision increases the extreme quotient of your game by over 67%. Additionally, the person buying the game might be thinking that they are being yelled at by the cover. This will invoke memories of other times they have been yelled at. Most of the time those memories will reignite deep seeded family issues and make the viewer uncomfortable. To fix this situation, the viewer will often purchase the game to stop the yelling. If the user has a clean family past, this yelling will just bring up more questions. What is the person on the cover yelling about? Are they angry that someone is trying to steal their soul with a photographic device? Did they just get punched in a sensitive area right before the photo? We have little hope for ever answering these questions, but I suspect the plot of “The Mystery of the Druids” ties in with this all somehow.

Hello all and welcome again to internet masterpiece theatre. This week we join our host Gerard Pilkington for a look into the wonderful world of the quartertothree forums. User ZekeDMS decides that the Tomfoolery of a certain Jon Rowe is enough, and lets his voice be heard! This dramatic reading was performed by Jonathan Thames Rowe, no relation to the user in question.
What is that Blue thing Doing Here?
Hey, as part of a monthly writing assignment, I am going to be doing what I do best, and that is writing scenes. These excercises can be found here, feel free to join in! Here is the first one I have cooked up for May. It is based off of a song title from the “They Might be Giants” album Apollo 18. You can read the scene after the break. Let me know what you think.
