Reinforcing how Nitin has started his month of residency here with a much more intellectual approach than my own, I felt strangely compelled to return for at least one more blog just to post this link to a skit on Saturday Night Live. The Palin imitations are great, but this one (which i found while looking for the palin one online) actually had me laughing even harder:

DUDE, I GOT OPTIONED

So the Gs passed me by. You know, the G-G and the Big G.

Ya, whatevs. I got optioned!

A Toronto production company, Markham Street Films, liked Sailor Girl enough that they want to make a film version. I have faith in Markham Street, because I like them, and I know they “get” SAILOR GIRL. And they have cred: A script they previously optioned, by writer-director David Bezmozgis, was invited to Sundance in January and will open in Toronto and Vancouver this June (followed by the rest of Canada).
