"Mamma Mia!"

Manisha and I just watched this movie and LOVED it! The writers basically took 16 songs from ABBA and created a loose story around it. Then they got some very cool actors to play the parts and sing the songs and shot the movie on a fantastic island in Greece. What's not to like? Meryl Streep who is 59, dances and sings like she is 40. Christine Baranski, whom both Manisha and I have loved in the TV show Cybill, is wonderful as expected. Amanda Seyfried is majorly hot (and sang all her songs, which makes her even hotter as far as I am concerned!).


We have been really stressed out lately with our moves (2 done, one more to go) and the movie was exactly what we needed. Go see it!

And armed with that knowledge, me and a few of my friends are going to write a musical. You in?

I am in. OK, so ABBA is done, so is Billy Joel and the Beatles. Who are you thinking of? Michael Jackson? That could be interesting...

No, silly. WE need to write the songs as individuals and then come together to see what type of story we can create out of them! Doesn't that sound like fun?

That could be fun (depending on who "WE" is). This sounds like the kind of thing Tim Ferriss would do (he of the "4 Hour Workweek" fame; http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/). His thing is efficiency - focus on what works, not on what some expert tells you (because they have their own biases, conscious and unconscious).

You're on!
