Who Knew?

I'm writing a play about first love and bear maulings, and it's surprisingly sad. I thought I was writing a comedy.

Write it about someone whose first love is with bear maulings?

Speaking of bear maulings: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=253

does it count that from reading this entry that "first love" and "bear maulings" in the same sentence made ME laugh?

I prefer a little tragedy in my levity. It's like that warm feeling you get from shooting a clown.

Will we get to read it, eventually?

Have you read The Goat or Who is Sylvia? by Edward Albee? He's perhaps my favorite playwright and that is just a stunning piece of work. It's about a man who falls in love with a goat and it's not really a comedy... some parts are funny, but it's really got a lot going on.

Of course you have a relevant link for bear maulings.

Now I want to go read The Hotel New Hampshire.

(Just for the bear. I don't think there is a mauling. But there are prostitutes!!)

DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU FAIL COLLEGE.

(No, really, I've been syndicating it for about a week, since I discovered it from my booksalon true crime list. The posts aren't overwhelmingly often and they are really freakin' good.)

First love and bear maulings, you say?

[scarredbyitall.livejournal.com]

Please please please, just for fun, put in the stage direction, "Exit, pursued by a bear."

The best part of that is the look on the bear's face in the second to last panel. Malevolently blank. I love it.

[zenithblue.livejournal.com]

Well good. We're going to call people like you my "target audience." :)

LMFAO. That is the quote of the week hands down.

Yes, sooner or later. It's kind of a mess right now but I'll put it up at some point.

I haven't read that yet, but I love Albee to no end.

This one isn't so much about the bear as a love object. It's more like a PTSD love story about damaged people trying to connect. I'd like to say it "has a lot going on," but really that's a euphemism for "it's a big old mess" at this point.

lol. perfect.

[zenithblue.livejournal.com]

Ooooh.

Man. I was going to start writing stories about adulterous New York yuppies like everyone else but this is going to keep me in sordid crimes for years to come.

Oh, that's great...I hadn't even thought of that one. I'm thinking of expanding the short version of the play into a full-lengther at some point, and if I do I think that'll be handy. Clever.

You have no idea how hard I've been trying to squeeze that in.
