The links to the films are now going to this blog rather than the EE's Shorts blog, where they aren't working for some reason. Also I changed a couple Best Picture nominees so there wouldn't be repeats.

Once you've viewed the films, open the ballot at the bottom to vote.

Writing Exercise Results . . .

Blog Vacation 5

Oh, hey, you're, uh, back early. Nice tan. How was the beach? Really? That had to sting. Yeah, I bet; that's why I don't do the naturalist thing. What? Oh, no worries, everything was fine. Like you were never away. Face lifts and cartoons and beginnings and stuff. Sweet. No probs. Just one thing. No biggie, put the suitcase down. Did you want to get changed first, I can wait. No, just you look tired. Long journey, right. How about I make a nice cup of tea, that'll set you right. No, actually ...

Blog Vacation 4

I'm back. How'd it go?

Great.

No huge drop-off in readers?

Hope not. I haven't been looking at the stats.

Hmm. I'd better check the hits. Let's see, yesterday we had . . . ZERO!?

Hey, it was Saturday. People have better things to do.

Friday . . . zero. Thursday . . . Zero. What's going on? Did you post the cartoons I left you?

Yes. Well, sort of. I changed the captions. I didn't get yours. Actually, I seldom get yours. Here's one with my caption: whattaya think?


What's the joke?

It's a squirrel wearin...

Blog Vacation 3

So, how was Hawaii?

Um, great. Why are you in my house?

Long story.

You write novels.

Point taken…. So, I don't write much humor. Not one-liners, anyway—I like to think I'm good at subtle irony. So I asked Robin for a little help.

Robin.

She's funny, you know? And I didn't know if she'd get back to me soon enough, so I emailed Buffy and Blogless and Dave and a couple others.

How many others?

Most of the regulars, most of the semi-regulars. Word gets around, you know? I even think Anon slipped in the ...

Blog Vacation 2

The Evil one stroked his whiskers and glared at me across his cluttered desk. I hurried to reassure him.

"It all went brilliantly," I said. I fidgeted on the hard chair, wishing I was still sitting in his place. "I got rid of the spam as soon as I saw it."

"Spam? What spam?" He really should watch his blood pressure. His face goes all red when he's annoyed.

"Oh, just the usual sort but there was no harm done. None of your minions is stupid enough to follow a link in Chinese; or one left by a hot...

Blog Vacation 1

"Welcome Back!" EE's apprentice gushed as EE busted open his office door.

In a full tirade, EE roared, "You call 5000 emails in my inbox a welcome back?"

The apprentice bowed his head and somberly said, "At least you know you're wanted."

EE scoffed, "Stop feeling sorry for yourself…for god's sake you're…Conan O'Brien."

A few sniffles later, Conan said, "You're right, EE. What would I do without you?

Giving me this gig… while I'm on hiatus…poised to make my next several millions."

EE grunted "Oh yo...
