Differing Views on Figure Skating: A (Very Short) Screenplay
INT. NIGHT—Couple is seated in a booth at a cozy restaurant. They are eating (extremely delicious) mozzarella sticks as they watch the Winter Olympics men’s figure skating on the television above the bar.

(excitedly)
“That guy just did a back cabriole ON ICE.”
HIM
“Yeah, I wasn’t watching. I was looking at the wall because that’s how boring figure skating is.”
CUT TO BLACK.
What’s Making Me Happy {28}
Happy February everyone!
The sun is out and it’s above 30 degrees. February is already a miracle.
But there are a few other things making me happy this week.
1. HANNIBAL RETURNS SOON.

2. This Super Bowl ad Anna Kendrick is in.
3. Tom Hiddleston in Coriolanus
So, I went and saw the National Theatre Live simulcast of this play this week. In case you’re not familiar with Coriolanus, here’s the skinny: It’s Shakespeare, it’s set in Rome, and it’s angry. Things do not go well for Coriolanus. So while the play itself is sort of agonizing, watching Tom Hiddleston as Coriolanus is delightful. It doesn’t hurt that he takes his shirt off sometimes and is kissed both a lady AND a dude. I think he should just go around kissing everyone. The world would be better for it.
So that’s what’s making me happy this week. I hope you all had a great week as well!

Yeah, that’s pretty much me. Hiddles, Doctor Who, various girl crushes, and whiskey, with a little girliness thrown in for good measure.
Happy Friday, y’all!
Sleeping is Cool.
Hi, my name is Bethany and I have fallen asleep before 10 PM almost every day of 2014 thus far.
And I’m totally cool with that.
Day Drinking: A (Very) Short Screenplay
INT.—Bedroom, early morning.
SHE leans down to sweetly kiss HIS cheek in order to wake him up.
HIM
(shockingly alert for someone who has just woken up)
Have you been drinking?
HER
Is that an accusation?
FADE TO BLACK.
Note: She was not actually drinking this morning. She had orange juice. Apparently that smells like wine or something to people who have just woken up.
