Dreamgirls, It Begins

The trailed just went up on Quiktime. They signal a December 22, 2006 release date. We haven't even started filming yet. What pressure.

It's just what I'm building is so banal. It's a theater. Can you say radius walls? yawn. But I'll come up with something.

Until then know Darth Tater is looking out for your interests.




I could be a big time performer if somebody would take away this fucking coffee cup and give me back my goddamn legs. This isn't what I signed on for.


That's right, I'm in Beyonce Knowles dressing room. Sure, it looks like somebody vomited up an aquarium. But at least I'm in it. And where are you? Not here. Tater's rule!

I guess they decided it would be nice to open up a bird sanctuary next to out parking lot at the warehouse. Granted, we are about two minutes from downtown LA, but somebody has decided that's the perfect neighborhood to have peacocks. There is nothing a peacock loves better than sitting on parked cars, taking a big dump, and see if it can sharpen it's claws on the hood. Peacocks know talent and they go for the brand new cars first. Thank God, my car is a year old. Too bad for the painter, though.

Security Guards have been dispatched to deal with the Peacock invasion. Plastic Owls have also been posted to foil the predators.

...we thought it was auspicious. It escaped from Ardenwood farms, which is about a mile or so away from us. Why it decided to walk up our street remains a mystery. We figured it was sort of a welcome wagon to the neighborhood. It's a rather circuitous path from there to here.

Ardenwood rocks. We love that place.

Plus, we think a couple of pea-hens followed us home. That's the only explanation we have for two of them showing up in our yard a couple of days after we'd been there. This was last spring. Our first indication that they were with us was when they turned on the music at about 4am oustide an upstairs window. Not our bedroom window, but still, at 4am, a peacock call comes through any known wall-making material like radio waves. Heck, maybe they are radio waves. What the hell do I know. Anyway, it got us out of bed lickety-split, I can tell you that.

We chased them around and about for several weeks before we finally stopped seeing them. What a mess. It was like having a pair of incontinent dogs all over the back porch, but mostly on the door mat where it would be most likely to be stepped in and the hardest to clean.

But Ardenwood rocks. Unless the animals follow you home.

Well, it's a long walk. It's shorter if you take the train tracks, but the Ardenwood people hate that. It also puts you out right by the beehives.

Can't say I've ever had any issues with peacocks/hens. In the last two weeks (still in my disturbing entropic zone, btw) we've had a racoon sighting and a skunk smelling, but no more peabirds...

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

And boy do the dogs want to chase them. Fortunately, I've always seen the skunk before the dogs. I hope I haven't just jinxed myself.

This topic has been hit for 50 viewings. Is it getting picked up by a dreamgirls google search? What up?

[Drunk Monk]

they'll learn eventually. just have the tomato juice ready...

This is the reason gangs will die out.

The two young hoodlums are sitting in their car parked outside the warehouse. They didn't belong to us. The passenger of the car sees a man he wants to shoot across the street. The passenger tracks the man with his gun and then fires. Unfortunately, when he finally pulled the trigger, the driver was between the passenger and the intended victim.

Now, the thing we are still trying to understand is why did the passenger pull the trigger twice and put two bullets in the driver's head?

Some of the guys in the warehouse heard the shots and ran out to investigate. They were in time to see the passenger fleeing the scene.

Good times in Los Angles, ya'll.

Got any newspaper reports on that one?
