Six For Wednesday

Do you unbutton your shirts before you take them off?

If your life was on stage, would it be a drama, a comedy or a musical (or a combination thereof)?

Would you star, be an understudy or hiding in the back doing tech stuff?

If you could, who (anyone living or dead) would you hire to write it?

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?

What do you think of Daylight Savings Time?

I don't wear shirts that button anymore. I don't have a neck now, and my
head looks weird just popping out of a collar.

It would be some nebulous combination of all of those.

Would you star, be an understudy or hiding in the back doing tech stuff?

I would be a star! :)

If you could, who (anyone living or dead) would you hire to write it?

I dunno.. perhaps Joss Whedon?

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?

Nope. Have you? ;)
What do you think of Daylight Savings Time?

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

Not even thought of Xmas yet but i know some friends have already, sigh!

[maxauburn.livejournal.com]

I forgot to take my Christmas cards and address book from my mom's last time I was
there. I need to go back and get 'em before Thanksgiving.

- I always unbutton my shirts.

- It would be a farcical tragedy.

- I'd be hiding.

- Terry Pratchett.

- I've almost finished it.

- For those of us in the rural North, daylight savings actually does serve its purpose.

Yeah, cept for the cuffs.

I think it would be a true represention, comedy at a distance but a tragedy once viewed up close.

I'd mostly stay behind the scenes but make a cameo appearance in my the same way Spike Milligan did in the "biopic" film.

I would favour David Renwick of One Foot in the Grave fame to script edit as he can mix drama, comedy and pathos and have it work.... but I would favour the script be written by Dennis Potter.

No.

I like the extra hour in bed

I like this.

First act humour, second act the back story

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

nope, but I don't need to. Most of them don't have buttons.
A farce, definitely
a tech - it's what my degree is in
Me, who better?
Nope
We hates it, my Precioussss

[dark-phoenix54.livejournal.com]

Given that I'm the one who has to sew buttons back on, hell yes.

A farce.

Torn between starring, since I've had to do it all the first time, or hiding because of my more embarrassing escapades.

Jon Stewart.

We don't exchange presents with anyone any more.

Leave the damn time alone. People who work by available sunlight will just follow it anyway, no matter what the clock says.

1. If they have buttons, yes ...

2. Oh, it's definitely a musical. My life was onstage ...

3. I'd be star or understudy ... I'm not good at tech.

4. I'd hire Stephen Sondheim or David Austin (David is a young up and comer who writes musicals. I know him personally.)

5. Yes, on a limited basis.

6. I go with the flow.

Daylight Savings Time is a con. And a costly one at that.

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

I totally agree with that.

[ravena-kade.livejournal.com]

I unbutton far enough to get the shirt over my head.

Comic tragedy

I would hide in the background.

I feel like it should be Charles Dickens. I feel like a Dickens character lately.

Nope. Lost my spirit with all that is going on.

It does not phase me

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Nope *is lazy*

Dramedy for sure!

I'd be the replaced lead, lol!!

Erma Bombeck

HELL NO.

I don't really. It is something I just have to adjust to twice a year, lol!!

*HUGS*

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Yep, the buttons get undone. :)

Probably a little bit of all of them. :p

I would be the comic relief. It's the best parts to play. :p

Tennessee Williams.

I have one gift purchased so far. :p

I wish they could invent smart clocks that I didn't have to keep switching back and forth. UGH.........
Hugs, Jon

[xiphias.livejournal.com]

Is that last comment a joke, by the way? Because most of my clocks are smart clocks that switch themselves back and forth. I mean, sure, the mechanical grandfather clock, not so much. But most of the rest of 'em.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Sadly most of my clocks must be 20th Century clocks.
Alarm clock, car clock, watches, oven clock, wall clocks...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I rarely wear ones with buttons but if I can get it off without unbuttoning it that's what I do

My life on stage would be a farce

I've been all three. I'd rather be the one writing the play.

Shakespeare of course

I'm nearly done with Christmas shopping

It doesn't bother me one way or the other.

[kabuldur.livejournal.com]

I do...when I wear shirts, which isn't very often.

Drama (unfortunately.) In the past, anyway. Very calm and uneventful now.

None of those.

No idea.

No. Except for random stuff picked up during the year.

It absolutely sucks and I'm glad I don't have to put up with it.

[harvey-rrit.livejournal.com]

Do you unbutton your shirts before you take them off?

It's a hell of a lot easier than unbuttoning them afterward.

If your life was on stage, would it be a drama, a comedy or a musical (or a combination thereof)?

Comedy/drama.

Would you star, be an understudy or hiding in the back doing tech stuff?

Well, if it's my life I'm the star. But in anyone else's life story with me in it was on stage, I'd be the guy who keeps throwing in the odd comments that the critics quote.

If you could, who (anyone living or dead) would you hire to write it?

I'd want to collaborate with Jonathan Swift.

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?

GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE.

What do you think of Daylight Savings Time?

It's still of some value in saving power costs, even though it's also being used as a way to blackmail voters into supporting useless crap that gets "campaign contributions" for the politicians who have changed the period of its use.

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

I have that same feeling with Xmas lol!

[xiphias.livejournal.com]

My nicest shirts, I unbutton. The middle-of-the-road shirts that button up. I unbutton the top two or three, then pull it over my head.

My life would be a musical with definite drama and comedy parts. But I grew up in a household which regularly burst into song and the occasional dance number.

I'd be a supporting player, one of the ones that you never really notice, but who actually does a lot to hold the cast together. A character who sets up the situations and delivers the straight lines.

May as well go for the best and hire Shakespeare for it. I mean, he turned a couple of pretty lame kings into some pretty compelling drama. Sure, Richard III or Henry V is a gimme -- anybody could write great stuff about them. But John? Richard II? Sure, they're not his BEST works, but look what he was working with, and they're pretty darned amazing.

I don't do Christmas shopping. If I see something cool for my nieces or nephews, I'll get it, but mainly, we do Yankee Swaps in my family. Do you guys have that, under some other name? The way it works is you set a price limit -- perhaps ten or twenty dollars. Everybody buys a gift-type item at that price point, and wraps it, with no label on the outside. You put all the presents in a pile on the table, and then everybody draws a number.

In order of your numbers: you go up, choose a present, and unwrap it. Then, you can either keep that present, or you can look at all the presents previous people have unwrapped, and force a swap with them. After the very last person has gone, the first person, who obviously never had a chance to make a swap, now gets to make the same choice. On the whole, the later you go in the order the better, because you have more things to choose from, and, if you have something good, there are fewer chances for someone else to take it.

I hate Daylight Saving Time, on both practical and philosophical grounds. If you want people to wake up earlier and go to bed earlier, just suggest that people do that. Don't mess with the clocks.
