W2 - Wendy to the Second Power

Love it, love it that Al Franken won the seat of a cranky, grasping old Republican senator from Minnesota. Hate it that the guy fought him forever, using the big money coffers of the Repugnant Party to pay the legal fees. Love it that the courts upheld the win, the recount proved the win, and Franken now gets to go to Washington.

Boy, but I wish I'd saved a book I got for Christmas years ago. "Stuart Smalley: I'm Good Enough..." It was the first printing, and I bet it'll be worth some bucks some day! Instead, I sold it to Half-Price Books.

But who could've guessed??

Ooh, one of the guys who took the Michael Hauge Story Mastery workshop with me found a good page on Mike's site that lays out his screenplay structure and gives examples from good scripts.

It's timely because we've been seeing this particular video played and replayed lately, RIP MJ, so her imitations of it are recognizable -- and priceless!
