Finish-ups : A Game I Play

I have an old game I play when alone. I take a newspaper section and pick either the headlines or parts of the sentences. Then, I finish them up my way or maybe react to them in not more than a sentence or two, without thinking and without having read what's written underneath, so I won't be influenced.

I am now holding the A section of an old NY Times (March 11, Saturday, 2006).

Let's go:

"Arts Briefly" is not art. True art pays attention to detail, even if in a few lines.

"Another Land Summer" will arrive, come June, bringing with it more hurricanes, Ozzfest and Warped. Ozzie Osbourne can't match up to a hurricane, or can he?

"Survivor vs Idol" My husband is the idol. Everybody idolizes him and I survive everybody and the Idol. I laugh at the internal joke.

"Jackson's Ranch Closed" to be opened again by the scientologists as a concentration camp for psychiatrists. The camp commandant is rumored to be none other than the famed actor Tom Cruise.

"Ambien in the Driver's Seat" Who took it out of the pillbox and gave it the keys?

This one was a movie ad, the title of the movie withheld by me. "A live-action. A treat to watch." Is there any such thing as dead action? If there were, that would really be a treat to watch.

So much for playtime. I gotta go face the day and work.
