Drama:  A friend of mine is in [insert Eastern European country] shooting a B movie for some cable station.  I think the premise is [seriously] about some half man-half ball of yarn, or something as ridiculous.   Occasionally he sends updates to his distribution list of friends about the antics of filming a low budget film in the middle of nowhere.  He has a supporting role but loves to dish it out on the two leads, who you may or may not know, they both fall into that 'pretty people' category. [sound of clapping]  The ones you would see on a soap or something Baywatch-esque.  Apparently, the lead actor is a major drunk. [sound of gasping and shock]  He comes to work appearing to be sober but within an hour he's "woozy, unfocused and slurring his speech".  So, [this is where I think it becomes big DRA-ma]  the pretty lead actress decides to intervene, she plans a personal intervention for said pretty actor and takes him to some small european village where he can detox for the day.  Within minutes, he's fuck up and passes out. [high shrill scream]  This is when the only english speaking ambulence driver arrives to take him to the hospital.  Pretty actress is beside herself with drama, a true E hollywood story at best, and jumps into a strong Hepburn-esque persona, the one who was 'only doing the right thing' by helping him, yet needs comforting by the entire cast and crew because of what this has done to her, nevermind the fact that said pretty actor is being flown back to the states because of overdosing on some 'ungodly' substance.  What's so sad, my friend said, is that pretty actor was 'so real'. [sound of puking]

well I don't know what to say about drama among the "too pretty." I guess they have it to, but I find it hard generating too much sympathy.

i'm guessing the above blog is more interesting than the cable movie will ever be.

About your comment on my site about a reality crossroad and figuring out the world - man, one night I was good and twisted and in the middle of the night I sat up realizing I had suddenly come to a complete understanding of Einstein's Relativity Theory. I mean, I REALLY understood it. It all made perfect sense, and suddenly I had the keys to the Universe. I grabbed some paper and a pen and wrote for about an hour, and then went to bed. The next morning I got up to read it because in my sleep I had, of course, forgotten whatever key element I had discovered. I found that I had written pages and pages of illegible scrawl, and couldn't understand enough of it to make out what I was trying to say. I'm still searching for the key that I lost, that is, if I ever truly had it.
