I just had to write about this one.
While reading my daily list of blogs, I stumbled upon an article that mentioned about the new Cingular Wireless service that allows you to “Escape-A-Date“. The service allows you to schedule a “rescue” phone call to your cell phone at a pre-set time and the service will actually tell you exactly what to say in order to escape your date.
Brilliant and hilarious!
I wish I had come up with this idea myself. It could have been one of the many features of my SmoothButterLove.com project (although I haven’t worked on it since 2001…).

(No I don’t usually speak in the third person, I just thought that was a clever title.)
Could you imagine an asian guy dressed in a 1773 restoration period outfit (think knickers, billowy lace shirt and waistcoat)? Well, that’s gonna be me playing the character of Marlow in “She Stoops to Conquer” for class. Last night was our second table reading and I must say, I am quite taken by the “over-the-top” comedic material filled with sexual innuendo, and how naturally I fit into the character of an “overcompensating ladies man“. It also surprises me how much innuendo there is in this piece that was written 231 years ago!
It is so much fun to speak in a “stylized” english accent while doing these ridiculously comedic gestures. I find this “style” of acting so much easier than most of the work we have done this year trying to be “natural” and feeling/experiencing “real” emotions on-stage. This just means I need to continue to work on tapping into those deep emotions to compliment my “performance” abilities. (that’s a whole lotta quotes.)

I was digging through my hard drive and re-discovered this personal project I started working on two years ago. I put together a comedic website called smoothbutterlove.com where I could spread some smooth-butter-love on all who entered.
I still own the domain and still have plans to launch this project sometime soon!
In the meantime, you can checkout the temporary site here. Enjoy!!
(BTW, you need Macromedia Flash for the full experience.)
