Slow Down

PLEASE is the Word

[a totally uncalled for, baseless, and by all means inappropriate re-cast of Grease, etc.; but now that that's been said ---]


"Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself?"

--- Neil Young, Tell Me Why

No. Of course not. In fact, if I were asked nicely, I would, to play

SD

in a post-high school (and post-law school)

Grease

throw in

Christina Applegate

with her effortless talent and excellent timing,

as good Sandy:

Good Sandy

and as bad Sandy:

Bad Sandy

and

Marat Safin

a most well-proportioned man with the sweetest spot

as jock Danny:

Jock Danny

and as Jesus:

Jesus



Jesus???

C!?!?

Well, he can dance:

Dance

or at least balance himself on water (-blue rubber hardcourts), you know.

I, in case of a fall:

"...could get back up if you insist
but you will have to ask politely
yes, you'll have to ask politely
yes, you'll have to ask..."

--- Aimee Mann, The Fall of the World's Own Optimist


And finally I, when requested earnestly,

would give my finger-prickin' blood for science (Biology 10),

and give an arm

Registered with Return Card

and a leg

1 of 2 lovely nephews

for art.


And so. No. Actually, I'd do these (and have already done these) for nothing at all. But I really just like when people are nice.

These are all fabulous photos.

I like CA. She's got a knack for the funnies. MS is a dream.

G and I had a fun time talking about Grease last night. Would you believe, Fab wants to be Danny Z.?? Haha. Gues who gets to be Sandy?

A, I don't know what to make of this description "a most well-proportioned man with the sweetest spot". ha ha

What inspired to you re-cast Grease?

M: I promise with "sweetest spot" I was referring to (and only to) his ability to hit the ball with the center of his racquet. Haha.

Anyway, I felt we (or maybe just I) need something inspiring and fun and funny and new to see. Hence, this. I can totally write Grease 3 (though of course I won't call it Grease "3") were I given the chance. And, like I said, it would involve singing and dancing in city halls. :)
