Friday, July 25, 2003 Where have we gone awry? There's just something..disturbing, tradition-mashing in a sense, about Marshmallow Fruit Loops.  I didn't even know there were Marshmallow Fruit Loops until now.  It definitely pays to read the cereal box.  Have I mentioned I have no classes on Friday this year? 1. If your life were a movie, what would the title be? "Hi Wonder Mike, I'm the Captain of the Gravy Train."  (let's see the Hollywood moguls fit THAT on a T-shirt.) 2. What songs would be on the soundtrack? A fifty-minute continuous loop of Anaphylaxis songs. Speaking of loops, I'm on my second-and-a-half bowl of this danged cereal.  I need to take the milk back downstairs.  3. Would it be a live-action film or animated? Why? Live-action, but periodically we would cut away to pink cardboard puppets in a chicken coop.  Why?  Don't ask why... 4. Casting: who would play you, members of your family, friends, etc? Well, I would play me, "Bubs would definitely be the voice of the wheelchair," other than that, we're holding tryouts.  Gotta keep within some budget constraints.  ("Can you believe they got Matt Damon to act like a monkey for that WHOLE MOVIE?" Tell me who said that and I'll send you some Marshmallow Fruit Loops..if there are any left.)  5. Describe the movie preview/trailer. A five-year-old boy on a porch swing, watching a buggy go by on a dusty dirt road.  When the buggy is out of sight, the boy goes into the farm house and blasts The Chuck Wagon Gang gospel bluegrass band on his stereo.  That's all folks, nothing more to see here.  7:58:02 AM    comment [] 5 months to go. "At it's head there was a tall and evil shape, mounted on a black horse, if horse it was; for it was huge and hideous, and it's face was a frightful mask, more like a skull than a living head; and in the sockets of his eyes and in his mouth there burned a flame.  The rider was robed all in black, and black was his helm; yet this was no Ringwraith but a living man.  The Lieutenant of the Tower of Barad-dur he was; and his name is remembered in no tale, and he himself had forgotten it, and he said "I am the Mouth of Sauron."  But it is told that he was a renegade, who came of a race of those who were named the Black Numenoreans, for the established their realm in middle-Earth during the years of Sauron's domination, and they worshipped him, being enamored of evil knowledge.  And he entered the service of the Dark Tower when it first rose again, and because of his coming he grew even higher in the Lord's favor, and he learned great sorcery, and knew much of the mind of Sauron, and he was more cruel than any orc." -The Lord of the Rings, Book V, Chapter X, "The Black Gate Opens."  I think that's one of my favorite sections of the book, of which there are many.  4:19:09 AM    comment [] © Copyright 2003 Ken Graber.
