It Reminds Me Of Mad Old Ajax...

Got three pages of the new first act of the play done. That comes out to be roughly around four minutes of added dialogue, but it took me nearly three hours to write it. Any one who has read the original script knows how off the wall my dialogue can be, and how tricky it can be to deliver it. This is no exception.

The odd thing is that I'm not sure exactly how to end this. Probably abruptly and without any real sense. The thing is turning out to be a whole new play unto itself. It sort of vaguely ties into the main act mostly by thematic means (bizarre expositional metephors and left field references to Greek mythology), but there will be a very ill defined and hard to catch reference that will reveal a huge twist that ties into the original script. See if you can guess what it is.

I'm at the halfway of Kon-Tiki. You are a terrible human being if you haven't read this book. That's all I have to say. Looking forward to sipping grandpa's cough medicine and showing of the new pages. God help you if you resist either. Atari is awesome I like spaghetti!
