Ask James Eason!

How do you feel about "objective:" at the top of a resume? Should a job seeker write down their objective job, or does that just limit the possibilities?
 
How does one deal with being in a happy, loving, long term relationship with a partner while still dealing with strong, bordering on unbearable unresolved sexual desire for a previous partner, who was not necessarily a good boyfriend/girlfriend?

(not a personal question, purely for playwriting purposes).

1a. The Found and the Surrey.
1b.In the 9th Century AD, the Pope reportedly decreed that every church in Europe should prominently display a cock on its dome or steeple as a reminder of Jesus' prophecy that the cock would not crow the morning after the Last Supper, until the disciple Peter had denounced Him three times (Luke 22:34). (Curiously, Roman Catholic churches are no longer capped by weathercocks, and the ecclesiastical roosters found today generally top Protestant churches, both in Europe and America.)

It's solely because of the cameo performance by Digital Underground (and the creepy makeup job on Dan Akyroyd)

No. We have dirty poo, though.

You were thinking it'd all turn out for the best and no one would be the wiser. Wrong!

I vote no to "objective."

Quiet desperation/frustration for Act I, completely irresponsible behavior in Act II, resolved either favorably or unfavorably in Act III.

Hey James,
1)Did you notice the slight, yet communal gasp in the crowd when you made that comment about what "Lost" is really about during the last Soundtrack show? I don't know much about the show at all, but it seemed like a pretty awesome read on a series if that's the hidden premise. (I'm withholding what you said in order to protect the millions of "Lost" viewers who weren't at the show but read this thread.

2)How would you have handled an angry mob waiting for you outside of UCB?

A. Ball kicks for everyone.
B. Throat punches for everyone.

No. I know Huskey. Huskey was a friend of mine. You, sir, are no Huskey. ...what? oh...

San Francisco, CA

Yep.


1) I did notice. My dirty li'l secret is: I've never watched "Lost" (save for maybe ONE episode recently at a secret undisclosed location). My "read" on that series is probably based on some article I read about "Lost" during its first season. Yet another reason why the "gasp" was surprising -- it's not like it was all that an original idea.
2) C. provides A. and B.

He retired rich, happy, and content that he'd delighted America to the best of his ability for many, many years.
 
The city was told you were making pancakes for EVERYBODY. Bloomberg shipped in ten million cubic liters of maple syrup

Making pancakes.

Yes. Vigilantism should never be encouraged...although, who else can defeat a super-strong lizard-man, or electric shock-generating nutcase, or huge rhino-powered dude, or...ok, ok, I've reconsidered. NO.
 
Dear James Eason,
What are my rights as a tenant when it comes to getting my security deposit back from my landlady, and what do I do if she tries to withold some or all of it?
 
Dear James Eason, part 2,

How much of "Poltergeist" did Tobe Hooper actually direct? Was he really just filling in for Spielberg a few days here, a few days there, because of scheduling conflicts with "E.T."? I ask because "Poltergeist" looks a damn sight more like a Spielberg movie than it does like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "The Funhouse" or the television movie of "Salem's Lot."

What's up with Donald Sutherland's man-perm back in the 1970's? I mean, did anyone actually think Julie Christy would stay in a disfunctional marriage with a guy who has a man-perm ("Don't Look Now")? Why didn't he just keep his haircut from "M.A.S.H"?

Why is everyone so mean to Hotlips in "M.A.S.H."? I mean, she's kind of a pain in the ass, and a little bit of a hippocrite hooking up with Frank Burns and all, but ultimately wasn't she just doing her job? Was she really what Hawkeye calls an "Army Clown"? The Korean War was a war, not a key party. Wasn't it kind of mean when they knocked the curtain down while she took a shower?
