Dental Black?
Saturday, July 21, 2007
I spent about an hour in front of my computer thinking of something... anything... to blog about. A blogging dry spell. Everything I started only lasted a couple of sentences before the backspace button got a "woodpeckering" from my index finger. So, instead of forcing an entry out of my head, I spent two hours making the images that follow.
Why induce a migraine squeezing out a blog idea when one can play...
Wheel...
of...
Blogging Ideas!!!
Pat Sajak: Good Evening everyone! Our defendingchampion blogger struggling with something to blog about is here tonight hoping to eke an entry. Alternati, please spin the wheel.
Alternati: Thanks Pat. (Bends down and spins the wheel anxiously)... Big money! (clap clap clap)
PS: Watch out for the "Hiatus"...
PS: Quite an icebreaker... Alternati, Weather?
A: The weather here in Baguio has been extraordinarily erratic. An indecisive La Nina is upon us. Mornings are usually bright and sunny... the sun can practically drag any nocturnal out of bed. Noons are excruciatingly hot. By 3 pm, like clockwork, the sky turns gray in a matter of minutes. Fog = Zero visibility, Rain = Zero dry spots on your pants. Mother Nature has gone psychotic.
PS: Indeed she has. Spin it again... (motioning to the wheel)
A: Duh... (gives the wheel a small nudge while muttering "Do I look retarded")
PS: Movies!
A: Thanks Pat, I can read... I did a Woody Allen marathon yesternight.
Appetizer: Play It Again, Sam
A movie inspired by Casablanca. I loved it when Allan Felix (Allen's character) talks to an imaginary Bogart.
Main Course: Manhattan
Every single frame of this movie is art. I have a thing for black and white movies.
Dessert: Mighty Aphrodite
(A rewatch) This one is inspired by the story of Oedipus. One of my favorite elements in this movie is the Greek chorus that does lines between chapters.
Woody Allen's movies never fail to inspire me. The typical themes of insecurity, marriage, divorce and failure are divulged in witty screenplays dripping with subtle humor and in many cases a tablespoon of Diane Keaton.
PS: I guess Mighty Aphrodite was autobiographical, no?
A: Really? ~Oh Pray, do tell~...
PS: You mentioned Oedipus. Wasn't he the Greek character who killed his dad and married his mom?
A: Yeah... (rolling eyes)
PS: Woody Allen and Mia Farrow were an item who adopted Soon-yi. And except for the killing part, Soon-yi did marry Allen... a 35 year age difference...
A: Can I just spin the wheel now?
A: I just started reading a Woody Allen biography I bought from a thrift book store months ago. This one was written by Eric Lax and published in 1992.
PS: Do you have a thing for ancient directors with receding hairlines and thick glasses?
A: Maybe... (gnarling at the emcee)
PS: On that note! A word from our sponsors...
PS: Hahaha! The bunny and the... were... Hahaha...
A: Oh grow up Pat.
PS: Touchy. touchy. *ahem* Please, spin the wheel.
PS: I bet you wouldn't have a hard time with this one huh Alternati?
A: (throws tacky name tag at the emcee)
The wheel disparages me.
PS: Care to elaborate?
A: (creates an "L" with thumb and index finger and places it on forehead)
Care to elaborate? (mocking the emcee's voice)
PS: Nice... very mature. Just spin the wheel.
PS: ... and spin it again...
A: Since we've become such ~Greeaaattt~ friends Pat, can I give a shout out first?
PS: If it can thaw your iciness... go right ahead.
A: (Looks directly at camera 2) Thanks Chase! I just got the snus. I really appreciate it. (Smiles and waves at the camera hoping this show is aired in Bergen)
PS: Awwwww... You are capable of sentiment.
A: I am equally capable of homicide (giving the emcee an icy stare)
PS: Brrrrrrr... Spin the wheel Jadis.
A: A Narnia reference... you are capable of literacy (reaching down to spin the wheel)
PS: Brace yourself audience, (mock whispering) This one can make your ears bleed with talk of TV.
**Recorded audience laughter**
A: (mock whispering) That one can make your ears bleed just by speaking.
**Crickets**
A: Anyhoo... I just started watching Brothers & Sisters and Weeds. And I am obsessing over them already. I'll save them for another post so I won't "bore" (making quotation marks with fingers) you guys.
PS: Awwwww... So considerate. A commercial break!
**Recorded audience applause**
PS: The ad was speaking to you Alternati.
A: Shut up and do what "emcees" (making quotation marks with fingers) are supposed to do.
PS: Welcome back to the Bonus Round! Our category for today... THING. We bring up our usual letters: R, S, T, L, N and E. And Alternati, give us three consonants.
A: C, B and P
PS: ... and one vowel..
A: I
PS: You have 15 seconds to solve the puzzle... go!
A: Pent...
Rent... Rental?
Genital... Genital Black?
Dent... Dental Black... Dental Block?
**Buzzer**
PS: Seriously?!
A: Bite Me...
