Very Nearly Hitting One Bird While Scaring Many Off at the Same Time

Below are some ramblings about the new screenplay* I'm writing...These ramblings should help me with the story, but also do the double duty of being a post on The Brothel.

This is what you might call, "killing two birds with one stone." However, I've thrown a lot of rocks at birds in my time, and if I've learned anything (besides what the fastest way is to make my Mom angry) is that it's freaking hard to hit a bird with a stone. To KILL TWO of them with one rock? No way.

A better catch phrase describing getting multiple things at once might be, "very nearly hitting one bird while scaring many off at the same time." In fact, I will say that from now on.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate Thanksgiving. -KV

Soon to be a Script by Klaus Varley

Right now, it's just a bunch of ramblings

In fact, if you get confused, I completely understand.

Because I too, am a little confused.

Alright, let's see what we've got:


Zach's company makes cleaning products.

[Possible company names: AmmoniasRUs, Magic Clean, Godliness Inc., ScrubLess...]

But Zach is tired of making cleaning products. He wants a change.

[What is going on with Zach? Zach needs a back story.]

Possibilities for Zach's Backstory:
-Zach suffered through a recent divorce, his therapist instructs him to make changes in his life
-Zach inherited the company - his father died a few months back; he's the new CEO, wants to do new things.

Zach sets up a meeting with his board. It's secretive. They watch six employees from a hidden room, with monitors. The traits of the employees are fed to Zach from his board. One girl can't show up on time; one guy writes too many notes. They spot AL on screen. Al does the least amount of work possible. He has shortcuts for his shortcuts, and spends the rest of the day napping. "He's the one," says Zach.

Hilarity ensues.

...

I can see this exercise expanding more than anticipated, so instead of consuming the entire Brothel by this post, I will leave the rest of the story to your imagination.

In other words, hilarity ensues.

The Romance Department - Coming soon to a theater near you, if "soon" means many, many years from now.

But, you never know.

But don't hold your breath.

Or throw rocks at birds.
