Couldn't Make It Up If I Tried!

Watching TV this morning, A commercial came on for a new motorized wheelchair for the handicapped. Now I would never make fun of a hadicapped indiviual, however the homr in commerical is directed towards the inventor. The gentleman's name was Tom Kruse (pronounced like cruise).

I'm not making a crack about that pschyo Scientologist Tom Cruise, either. But come on the inventor of a moterized wheelchair is Krusse, as in cruising around the neighborhood.
It's funny but not mean-spritied funny.


Pulling A Marisa!

I've been reading allot in the paper how Boston is becoming the new Hollywood, since allot of movies are being filmed in the area. So I decided to submit my resume to the Mass. Film Bureau. Being that I have writing and tv/film production under my belt, I thought it might be worth a shot.

Well speaking of shots, I think I aimed one right for my foot. They sent me an email saying there were no openings at this time but they would keep my resume on file for a year. Then I was surfing around their web site (mafilm.org).

I never realized how many famous people were from the Mass area. Jack Lemmon was from Newton, for instance. Well this is where I may of gotten my self banned for the Boston film industry. I reviewed their list of Academy Award nominees and winners. There were so my typo, disorganization and misinformation. I proceeded to pull a Marisa Tomei in her Academy Award winning role in My Cousin Vinny & sent the bureau a list of all the misinformation and made the appropriate corrections for them.

Come one all this useless shit (I mean information) stuck in my head has to be used sometimes. Maybe they will hire me to work in their research department?

Was this a bad thing?
