Well, i'm half australian, half english and i live in london. that is the only reason i came upon this story. my australian mother, meredith hooper, was invited in late 2007 by some australian friends to make up a token australian audience in a tiny fringe theater play reading of an unproduced, unrehearsed play called 'the king's speech.

There are story-room sessions where you think about the big picture, like a novel, but once you have certain things in place, you have to treat each episode like an hour of tv, and think that maybe this will be the only episode that anyone will ever watch. you want to have some sort of beginning, middle, and end to the episode, even if you have storylines that are carrying over. you still want it to feel like a cohesive hour of entertainment. and you can't think about both at the same time.

My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.

A dog has no use for fancy cars or big homes or designer clothes. status symbols mean nothing to him. a waterlogged stick will do just fine. a dog judges others not by their color or creed or class but by who they are inside. a dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. give him your heart and he will give you his.
