I’m home now, if you want to ring. I want to hear you voice too – especially if you put on some kind of exotic accent and call me a real man.

Stacey, as a real man, I bang my fists on the table for emphasis and yell at the flies
“I know we should be doing this!”

PS and as a softer man, I tighten my lips in thought, cast my eyes downward toward an open copy of something written by Marylyn Robinson and say in a near whisper
“Why don’t we turn up and just see what happens.’

:) I’ve booked the room. See you at 7:00, Friday.
Dxxx
I lol'd at the second label of this blog post.
ReplyDeleteAlso, somebody should have taken transcripts of that 7:00 hotel meeting. Except that I doubt much was actually said.
Sweet.
OK...I'll uncover my eyes... they still young and resilient and about to get sexy !
ReplyDeleteMy new hope is that they let nature run its course and that Dom gets bored first
HOLY SHIT!!!
ReplyDeleteHA oh god, my favourite yet.
ReplyDeleteFor once, I am happy about Stacey's vulgarity ;)
Something will get in the way. It's been my bitter experience that something always does.
ReplyDeleteAnon 11:17, I'm very happy for anyone to suggest what could be in that transcript.
ReplyDeleteAnon 8:44, no Dom get bored? Surely not. And what a hope. I hope that find happiness and both are challenged and finally find a common place of value. But I am a sap, after all.
ReplyDeleteJacck, great response. I hope you're still dancing after a decent night out and this is exactly what was ordered.
ReplyDeleteSteph T, regarding Stacey's vulgarity - I agrree one hundred percemnt - it couldn't have been placed better.
ReplyDeleteChris Dixon, well it wouldn't be drama if someting didn't get in the way.
ReplyDelete:)
"Dom, should we really be doing this?"
ReplyDeleteAre these two saucy sons of bitches still "with" their respective partners while making hotel dates to fuck each other's brains out?
i was just going to say that you guys think its a great thing that you have two people who are potentially about to cheat on their partners, and ya'll think its ok because they're meant for each other.
ReplyDeletec'mon, this isnt hollywood, this is real life. someone is actually going to get hurt from all this, ( actually 2 people other than dom and stacey..and possibly dom when Mr Macho finds out)
you people actually are happy this is about to happen? the least they can do is break up with their respective partners before they embark on fucking each others brains out.
another spineless move by Dom.
Stephen asked me to repost this from the previous email about who will play Dom and Stace in the movie, and who would play each of us....
ReplyDeletewhat if one day, someone buys the rights to the story including stephens, and we're all part of the bigger plan and become stars. John Cusak would play me. I want my cut stephen!
i'd cast Ashton Kushter to play Dom, and Penelope Cruze would play Stacey.
anyone else?
anyone?
come to think about it, Ashton would probably be too old for Dom and so would penelope. Maybe Alijah Wood. He looks dorky enough to play Dom, and natalie portman would be a shoe in for Stacey because she looks so young anyways.
i wonder what sort of accents these two would have had.. aussie? russian?
haha no fair nabs you stole my Natalie lol. Also i'm 100 percent in agreements with the cheating is only going to hurt someone. Since Stacey actually did break up with Marcus, it's not so bad there. However Dom does need to tell Elsa. This should be interesting seeing as how they live together... It's a friggin soap opera... who knows what the future holds...
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. This is getting really, really good. Curious to see how Dom approaches the Elsa situation.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I have had a feeling that Elsa and Keith are getting it on behind Dom's back as it is. So while I never approve of cheating, it's a little more acceptable if I am right.
ReplyDeleteAlso I have a sick love of watching drama in other people's lives. I do not involve myself in said drama but I do like viewing it. Making this all the more wonderful to be reading about.
I know it's a bit sadistic but oh well.
Jamie; and there's the question. I think Stacey isn't with Marcus but Dom!! Well - there it is.
ReplyDeleteNabs, wow - there's figthing words. Dom - spineless!! What about love?
ReplyDeletePSand no one bit on your great question - such a shame - I'd very very keen to hear who should play who in the movie. My dibs for you based on comments - A young Clint Eastwood.
ReplyDeleteChris, true I guess Dom should tell Elsa. Now I get Nabs comment.
ReplyDeleteJason, and this seems to be the question - will he tell her and how...?
ReplyDeleteSteph T - Elsa and Keith - my lord there's an image (and I don't even know what thay look like)
ReplyDeletechris - I never stole her from you...Nat has always been MINE! :D
ReplyDeletestephen - what about love? love can wait a few days until Dom grows that spine that seems to go missing very often. From what ive gathered about Dom, he's not the confrontational type, and he'll let things slide until things blow up. He really does need to tell Elsa. This aint fair. This isnt a fling, this is a relationship in the making, so he's got to make his intentions known.
steph T - i can tell..you're a big brother fan arent you? reality TV rocks doesnt it? this is just another format of reality tv!
nabs- Surprisingly no, I hate reality TV. Mostly cause it's fake and makes me doubt humanity as a whole.
ReplyDeleteis this not another form of it?
ReplyDeletestrangers looking in through the bored olives tv station that beams the lives of two young people in love while they have no idea that we're watching?
Yes, but they don't know we're watching is the key to that. Big Brother is completely attention seeking bullshit that has nothing to do with real life.
ReplyDeleteD+S aren't looking for the approval and a fan base, they're just living and happen to be documenting it through email...
Steph T and Nabs - loving the discussion about reality TV and perhaps reality blog or reality email. Great debate - I guess what I'm loving is the role of the reader/viewer in this - the guilty pleasure - the need to connect etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks as always for good strong discussion.
I think Hugh Grant should play Dom and a leather canister should play Stacey with some other people. I think Elsa is a tree horse. And Keith should be a fish. I don't think Marcus should be in it. I think he should be standing somewhere else. Like next to the person who records all those noises. Will you be in it Stephen? You could play Harrison Ford in Star Wars. He was nice. And the lady with the buns in her hair
ReplyDeleteI'm Neville Taylor
I gave you my actors in the last one, Shia Lebouf is Dom Natalie Portman is Stacey... Elsa could be the blond chick from Chloe and Letters To Juliet. (I forget her name) Keith can be played by Russel Brand, Marcus can be played by James Franco... I could see him being a bit of a tool...
ReplyDeleteChris - love your list, but I would personally totally switch James Franco and Shia Lebouf. Everybody else is spot on.
ReplyDeleteI'm very concerned about Shia Lebouf. I think it's very selfish of Bored Olives to us Transformers fans. We need Mister Lebouf for Transformers 5 and Transformers 6. With current technological advances I can't wait to see Transformers in 5 and 6 dimensions.

ReplyDeleteOh man
I'm 'Anonymous' in the next email (166)... first comment.
And I swear I did NOT read the comments until just now (and a couple times in the past)... and lo and behold, there's the movie reference. EXACTLY what I innocently lamented.
I think this solidifies it. Could certainly be made into a successful movie. Probably even better than 'You've Got Mail'
