George and Alexandra, sitting in a tree
So tonight I finally got to watch the much-hyped yet never-actually-on-HBO documentary Journeys with George. I'm a big fan, and I really think you all should watch it, and then you all should tell me whether you think George W and Alexandra Pelosi have a thing for each other. Because I totally do. You can especially see it in that one scene where he's telling her why she should vote for him. You know how when you're talking to someone and there's an obvious attraction there, you're saying things but you don't even know what you're saying? Yeah. That's how it was with W and Alex in this scene. Although come to think of it, he doesn't seem to know what he's saying half the time. Hmmm. Still, he did have an unnatural interest in her attraction to that Newsweek reporter. All I'm saying is, if I were Laura, I'd be concerned.
Anyway, this film has renewed my interest in becoming a documentarian...and I've already thought of the perfect project. It's called "Intern." (I can already hear the buyers lining up.) Seriously, though, no more presedential hijinks, just a gritty (so to speak) expose on what it's really like to be an intern. It would be really great if I could get my friend Sallie on camera talking about how she's so bored with her internship at the photo studio, she sometimes breaks the handles off their prop coffee mugs for sport. (I would, of course, splice this with surveillance footage of Sallie actually breaking the mugs, if such a thing existed, which she's praying to God it doesn't.) However, because there are only a few weeks left in the internship, and because I do not own or have the money to buy a video camera, I'm thinking this is another one of my projects that will never get off the ground.
