Hello and welcome to Poetic Waste Wednesdays. We'll be doing some mock-poetry on Wednesdays so enjoy! As for this week, here's a little verse about New Year's celebrations.
The Grapes
Ah the fermented grapes
The sweet and tart wafting smell
Crimson river like liquid blood drapes
From Dionysus' cup fell
It clings to the carpet like habit
Aphrodite's lustful dress
With a moist towel I dab at it
And that's how you clean up the mess!
Or you can use baking soda
Or pour salt onto the stain
I saw it on last week's Operah
Just don't spill my wine again
Asshole

Movie Mondays: LOST the Musical
Welcome to Movie Mondays where we post up posters of movies that we hope will never exist. Just to get started and to celebrate LOST's last season, here's a little diddy that should never cross J.J. Abrams' mind.
This weekend, theatres across America are going to get LOST. LOST: The Musical that is. In this Rodgers and Hammerstein reproduction of the popular ABC series, Doctor Jack, outcast Sawyer and cutie Kate will not be the only ones stirring up drama.
"We always wanted LOST to be a musical, it just made sense to us," comments show conductor J.J. Abrams, "but the conventions of television just don't allow for that kinda thing. It is such a joy to see the story come to life the way we originally imagined it."
"A lot of people have come up to me and said 'LOST the musical?! Really?!?' and I would just say 'yeah, really'", laughs show producer Damon Lindelof, "everyone is extremely excited about this."
The production is to run about 2 hours with one 15 minute intermission during which the bigger theatres plan on selling LOST paraphernalia.
"We're going to sell little Dharma cookies with the Dharma symbol on them", chuckles Chuck Willstof, manager of the Napa Valley Opera House. "And we are going to sell bottled water we say came from a waterfall up the hill. Haha, but no, it's just bottled water."
Bloggers and theatre patrons alike are already buzzing about the production. Songs such as "What's In The Hatch", "Lock's Got Legs" and "The Theme of the Smoke Monster" are already best selling singles on iTunes, and the show stopper "We Have To Go Back, Kate" is the newest radio sensation.
But is the play a hit with die hard fans or is it just a plane crash waiting to happen?
"I'm a huge fan of the show and I was a little uncertain about seeing it on stage", comments Carl Whitenose, a devoted fan that attended a sneak preview of the play through a contest the show hosted that had viewers allocate meaning to Jack's tattoos. "But they really got us in the spirit. It was all dark in the beginning and they had us count down and so everyone was like " 42! 23! 16! 15! 8!!' and by '4' people were screaming and standing up and cheering and crying!!"
"I was blown away!" gasped another fan, Josh Willaby, directly after the sneak preview, "man, that was so freaking cool! They did everything right, even the title coming at you, they did it all! It even got blurry and clear at the right moments!"
With fan enthusiasm fanning the build-up flame, LOST: The Musical's opening night is bound to be explosive. But the theatre production has a bigger role than just entertainment.
"Since this is how we originally wrote it, the show is finally going to make sense after seeing it done this way," laughs Abrams. Just before the show runner left, he left us one clue as to LOST's future.
"And I don't want to give too much away buuuuttt....who knows, if this works out, maybe we'll do an ice show."
You can get LOST in LOST: The Musical at your local theatres starting July 15th. For tickets, contact your local ticket master.

(a late) Sunday Funnies: Burn, Baby, Burn
Hello everyone, welcome to the first official week of the new year! For Sunday Funnies we'll be following the tradition of Sunday morning comics. There was a slight issue with the scanner because we're trying out different formats and mediums for the comic strips. This week is done with post-its and hopefully you can read it. Next week we are going to start scanning the comic strips in so if all goes well, they'll be a bit clearer. Anyhow, enjoy this topical post-2009 comic strip and have a great week!
