BURST INTO FLAMES! (I feel 'off' today)

Ah ha!

That's what I wish my laptop would have done.

Instead, it just sort of threw up an error message and politely gave up the ghost. Thank God I backed up MOST of my work. Just a few things are currently having to be recreated, the very latest pages on myriad writing projects.

I will, of course, be taking this out on my all my friends and family, as I drink and complain and make awful noises about karma.

That is my nature.

Sometimes.

I feel vaguely erratic. Vaguely.

I have a ten-minute play due in two days. I have no ideas. It has to be about decency. About obscenity. I want ideas. Give them to me, oh blog-readers. Provide me with my living.

(There must be something more important to think about. Like the nature of a burrito.)

I found this picture of an obscene burrito. Hope it inspires.

The most quoted line on obscenity is Justice Steward's

"I know it when I see it."

Me, too. I guess I also know it when I hear it. But by the time I'm touching, smelling, and tasting it, it's not obscenity anymore, it's more like...dare I say it's name?

Set it in the world where Decency is obscene.

Write a scene between Chucky Cheese and Mickey Mouse. Selling food and toys in places honoring rodents, that are supposed to be decent family establishments is frickin obscene to me.
