5/24 Wilfred

What "The Office" did for British television in the U.S., I bet "Wilfred" could do for Aussie television. It's a show about this dude named Adam who hooks up with Cindy, the perfect girl. Adam moves in and everything is peachy-- until he meets Wilfred. Wilfred is Cindy's dog. But he's not played by a dog. He's played by a dude in a dog suit-- floppy ears, black nose and all. I know it sounds campy, but it's not, and every fucking time that dog walks on screen, you laugh. You have to. Anyway, the catch is that Cindy treats Wilfred just like a dog, but Wilfred can reason, and talk, and he talks to Adam. He threatens him, sabotages him, fucks with his head so bad (watch the dildo episode, it's brilliant!) that Adam wants to just give up. But instead he decides to fight back. So the entire show is based around the battle between a man and a man-dog for the affections of one woman, and it turns the entire concept of 'the pet' on its head. I can't stop laughing. I will buy this show on DVD and bring it home with me. The entire world will love this show. I guarantee it.

Anyway, I worked long and hard on the new story and think I improved it, if only slightly. At any rate, 'slightly' will have to do, and over the course of 20 drafts, 'slightly' becomes 'exponentially' and the story rocks in comparison. I also did a little work on the old cartoon writer to tighten it up in places and flesh it out in others for turning in and publishing purposes. I really enjoy that one, and it's about one inspired draft away from the greatest thing I've ever written. I edited the story at the unibar, guzzled some Tawny (I don't know what the fuck it is, besides putrid, and I'll get back to you on that) and took a trip to Booze Brothers with Colleen and Megan for another box o' happiness. Had a beer at the unibar then headed home for wine, Wilfred, Salinger, and a midnight snack.
