I'm all f...Hello Isabella, I liked this post a lot. I'm all for scrutinizing the minutiae of novels, play scripts and theatre performance. Your point about storying mundanity/tedium/dullness is interesting - which I suppose is a tad ironic. Reminds me of a polite disagreement that I had with an assistant director recently - he spoke in terms of 'giving the audience what they want' and 'completion' and was generally into arm-waving physicality on stage. I spoke in terms of 'still (taut) performances'. Again, it was interesting - to me. Ultimately, we agreed that such matters ought to be part-resolved or determined by the shape and size of the theatre that a work is to take place in.<BR/><BR/>I just wanted to mention that I'm a regular user of the term 'good egg'. In fact, I'd already used it in commenting on a post elsewhere yesterday before I noted Michele Agnew's reference to you.<BR/><BR/>Bidding you a good day.Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07827981433386542298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767816.post-1118372501861909182005-06-09T23:01:00.000-04:002005-06-09T23:01:00.000-04:00Yesterday I had tea and wine on the conveyor belt....Yesterday I had tea and wine on the conveyor belt.

In order to entice the baggers to bag my groceries in the order I prefer I am quite selective in how I place them on the conveyor belt. I've been known to rearrange items once placed there just for that sole purpose. I laugh as I think about this now because I don't know that it actually helps my cause. I've never thought of anyone sizing me up over this; lost in my own little grocery world. I must be more careful lest I be thought not a good egg as you certainly are a good one!Karan Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168231147225063955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767816.post-1118356690117182042005-06-09T18:38:00.000-04:002005-06-09T18:38:00.000-04:00Good egg, indeed!
