Writing and emotional profoundness of an extra terestrial...


Hola Interneticans! Greetings! The other day I was wondering why we do the things we do, like really? Now I'm not talking about deep psychological actions, no freudian I have ten cats because I'm in love with my mother type of thing. Just what motivates us day to day? As a writer (oh, seacrest, that is way pretentious "Ahs auh wrightah") or as some one who enjoys creating made up people who live out our fantasy lives those motives are kind of pivotal. A lot of times after I write some dialogue like:

female protagonist with daddy issues and a mild drug addiction: What are you doing here?
Male reluctant leader with a savior complex (sounds rather jacky sheps, no? Maybe winehouse too.): Nothing. What are you doing?
female protagonist with daddy issues and a mild drug addiction: I was looking for you.
Male reluctant leader with a savior complex: you were?
female protagonist with daddy issues and a mild drug addiction: Yes. [she walks up to him, perhaps a slight limp or a twitching left eye] I'm dying-
Male reluctant leader with a savior complex: Nonono
female protagonist with daddy issues and a mild drug addiction: [As she dies] I... I love [she dies]
Male reluctant leader with a savior complex: NOOOOOOO!

After that do you say, "well I get that, cause that happens every day"... not really. Basically I've found myself asking why do these character make the choices they make? And, would this happen realistically within the binds of the story? I mean, you can ask this in any setting. Even if the character is living on a planet beyond our solar system with three heads it's realistic for the character to ask themselves if they want to decapitate one of the heads to fit in with a two headed society. (This also comes along with deep inner struggle which can buy you at least five pages of witty and poignant Meredith grey esq dialogue.)

Now as I am in between two quite inadequate scripts for the coming year for the highly profound film maker Ava Awesome I've found this question, although at times tedious, highly affective. It gives characters deeper development and grants them several layers. This layering also makes them more relateable because you are asking these fictional characters real questions that a real audience asks themselves everyday, (although these films are intended to have an imaginary audience screening as well. We don't discriminate.)

Well now that I've ranted and made your eyes bleed (Holy shizbuckets did anyone see the x-files movie yet? lasgosgnalknegzdlnkgdklgdknl!!!) I'd just like to say something witty... but a las a real person doesn't always have something witty to say. And I'd really liked to pass as a human being before the planet of two heads (BiCapa!) comes back for me.

Love phoning home, well at least when it creates a dramatic story climax and requires strings in the score and a hearty supply of kleenex.

And you were there, and you!

Don't look at me that way. So... so maybe I said I was going out to buy a coke and never came back. I'm sorry okay, I'm sorry I missed your graduation from understanding that Benji linus owns us all... I know it's rough, seeing all the other kids out there with their attentive bloggers, but you were kind of an accident, a cyber child via virtual lovin' of sorts... sooo How's your mother? Heard she's been working her spiky gelled hair off on the ole' AI (love u Ry guy) Well I'm back now... that's what matters, right? RIGHT?!

So yes I've been MIA as of a recent month. I've been really swamped at school and writing a new script. I've gone into a kind of bubble of work, which also means I've grown a beard and have become a functioning oxycodone addict. But what an Amazing time for everything this kid has ever enjoyed.


First of all

Vaginas - seriously. Vaginas have had it rough the past few weeks. With Hillary Clinton and her vag run campaign I worry for my fellow Dems, all this political drama pulls at my heartstrings. I really hope a love triangle starts up soon. It would make everything much easier for us American public. And now Vaginas have this Kristen chic. I mean Spitzer? He just couldn't have a better name. Also Fatima from Americas next top model with her female circumcision, I'm pretty excited to see how that plays out.

American Fucking Idol - Man wow, I'm actually really into it this year. I always say I'm not going to watch, that I must go against that of the American whole grain but then Ryan and Simon start flirting and Paula's making out with her fists. I just can't look away and it pulls me back in. This year though I succumbed. Skipped all the sexual tension fore-playness with the television and just watched. And I'd just like to say Jason Castro, I will have your babies, it will have dreads and play the guitar and we will name it honey bea.

Music - Check out Stars. They reign from talent trusty Canada.

Ava Awesomeness - This kid. I really enjoy. She is my little Chicken. I just had to say, she is profound.

HBO - In Treatment is my new addiction. It's tragically realistic. It's pretty amazing.

Movieness - If I divulge into this now I'll never stop. I'll just say that mastering the accent of Daniel Plainview is kind of my life's goal "Ay haav a compeeetitioun en mey"

Lost - Dear Lord, thank you for making Lost the delicious orgy it was always meant to be. This years been good, realll good like OMFG Sayid works for Bennikins?! Frieghties eat grenades! Jack and Kate Drink coffee and have eye sex in courtrooms and parking garages! Xanadu! Crazy bleed from brain out the nose time travelness Dezy! JIN??????!!! Happy Tom Friendly came out of the closet with Arturo though, made me smile in my good ole liberal way. Thank you Thank you, I've been to the island gap too. More like Oceanic Sexa

Vid of deliousness - Hand Vagina. Looking for the origins of Nina? search no further. This is basically the summary of my days. I'm not exactly human.





Any ways, shall return in brief but just thought I'd holla out to u.


Love coming home

Thank god for Ruby slippers, sense memory and Mapquest

LostRehash: The HO Ep! YAYAY



They're selling Kenny G. Albums at Starbucks. Apparently he now has a certain Latin flare. Just thought I'd throw that out there.


Now down to the meat. And when I say meet I mean, "What the EAFFF is up with Jacobs shape shifting cabin????!!" I know I know, I'm pretty tardy on this Lost blog. This won't be the usual trend. Had a bit of regurgitation of PBA stress. But now we have a clean slate, a Tabula Rasa if u will...? (Major Lost nerds I'm sure you get that reference) Okay let me just hit on some bullet points from last weeks Lost season four premier "The Beginning of the End."


- Hurley drives his Camero. Pretty great. I think of wholesome family time. Jack pours himself a screwdriver and I think of Nelle
- Oceanic Six... sounds like a cult. I swear that's exactly what this show is going to turn out to be about. After the white linen tunic funeral they can't deny that
- "Her name was Ana-Lucia Cortez. She was my partner before I made detective. Dark hair, gorgeous".... uhhh awkturt, much? And then Hurley denies knowing her. More on that is theories/final thoughts
- And then the interrogation room turns into the freakin' Hydra station. Oh man, now don't lie and say you weren't just a little freaked out about that. And then it gets crazier. The swimming Junkie hood days Charlie swims up puts his hand on the glass and it says "They Need You"



-Okay, so then we're back, Island time, Awesometown time, and Rose is giving Claire sex tips. Yep. Rose tells little aussie Claire with little baby Aaron that she better treat her man good. Granted her man's dead. But hey, some people like that stuff... woah, that was cold (that's what she said)
-Jack says he's going to kill John Locke because he's crazy. Have you looked in the mirror lately Oxycodone boy?
-Danielle punches Ben. He Bleeds. No one makes him bleed his own blood... except for everyone as of recent
- Back at the Beach Hurley does a cannon ball and has a very sexy Baywatch moment. We smile. But then in classic Lost fashion... Desmond shows up on a boat... Charlieless. Every character gets a sad reaction shot. Sayid's was my fave. I don't know why, just is. I think it's the smoothing of the hair and the turn away. Priceless.


- Kate and Jack hug. I squee with joy. I have a feeling that Kate's hands were down there not for the iPhone but the doctor butt. Felt like she'd go for it while she was gropping around.
- Hurley meets creepy Oceanic guy, Matthew Abaddon. He says creepy things. And apparently his name means creepier things. In Hebrew Abaddon means destroyer and or destruction. His name also, get ready for it, comes from the Hebrew rooted word aleph-bet-daled which means "LOST".... DUN DUN DUNNNNN!




- Now we get to the sketchiest scene. Naomi’s death. Oh my god. I think I've reenacted her slurred "GeOrgeeee" and Kate's Awkturt face in response about a billion times throughout the past week.
- And then came Jacob's cabin. Freakin' Chrissy Sheps! And then the eye!!! Hurley runs away and our hearts are beating and we're screaming at the television to get the F*ck outta there and we think we're safe and then the house pops up again and I piss my pants.


- John Locke shows up... Why am I not surprised.... sketchy little bald fetus man.
- Down by the very missed cockpit the Losties begin to gather. And Claire shows up and the strings start and Hurley says Charlie and dead in the same sentence...And here is where I cry like the little biotch that I am. Oh my gosh. I mean I was shaking with sobs. I was slurring my words waving my hands in the air. It was very Paula Abdul of me.


- At Santa Rosa Charlie shows up and looks like Hot Hobbit Sex- Jack pulls out my favorite crazy Jack face and goes badass and pulls the trigger on Lockey when he's got him pinned (that's what she said?) Turns out there's no bullets, but it was still pretty great.

- The group splits into two factions. The Lockeys and the Dr. Quinns. I giggle when Sawyer says survivin'.
- Flash Forward back to Santa Rosa's gym. Hurley’s a regular O. Branstein on the court. Jack shows up looking sexy but slightly Manorexic. They play Horse. Jack is a Ho. The island wants them to go back but Jack likes missing the basket (once again, that's what she said. Nelle, is this a record? hehe)


- Back at the cockpit Jack and Kate make sex eyes in the rain, very notebook... I smile a little too much.
- And then UP IN THE SKY the helicopter flips out and this new Beardy shows up. And then LOST


Easter egg Lost Nerd find per the Fab Lostpedia:
Apparently Ho's have a lot to do with this ep and not in the John Locke manner. Check out this little tidbit...

"The letters H and O show up several times in this episode. "H" is the 8th letter of the alphabet and "O" is the 15th, together this makes 815. "HO" is also the chemical element Holmium. Holmium has been used to create the strongest artificially-generated magnetic fields.

- While playing horse with Hurley, Jack gets the letters "H" and "O". *
- Behind Hurley as he’s freaking out over Abaddon there’s a small sculpture of the letters ‘HO’ on a shelf.
- Hurley mentions Charlie’s ghost showing up in the convenience store right next to the “Ho Ho’s”."

Crazy, eh?

Also theory wise about the Oceanic Six A-teamness I'm guessing they lied about the island or were told to lie about it by higher powers (Dharma, Hanso, Widmore, Oceanic, ect). They claim they're the only survivors, that everyone else died in the crash. I'm really excited to see how this all physiologically plays out for the six. The guilt obviously ridding them is going to break them down eventually. It's only a matter of time.

Okay so ya, freakin' loved that ep. Next day at school Ava, Maddy (wifies) and I went Ballistic. So much fun. Made us talk loud, and that's all I really need, If I can accomplish that I'm pretty satisfied

Promo next week’s ep: Confirmed dead

All the cred for pictures and smart easter egg stuff goes to Lostpedia.com and Lost-media.com

I'm still in love with lost and the cult that surrounds it in a rainbowy sheen

Moldy peaches are delicious
