When The Boredom Starts To Set In

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Learn what RSS is here. Remember, bitter is better.

Just days before being invited to “Escape The Boredom” by Ford, I was enjoying some cocktails on a patio with some friends who were in town for the Women in Film And Television International Summit.

“I am besotted with ennui,” I sighed into my beer. “I need something. A certain je ne sais quoi. A something new. Perhaps I need to change my patio drink. “

“You need to come to Newfoundland,” said Kelly Davis, Executive Director of the St. John’s International Women’s Film Festival.

“I certainly do,” I answered back.

“You should read a book,”said producer of the year Judith Keenan, “and make a bookshort.”

“Definitely,” I said, but deep down I had that ‘been there done that‘ feeling.

“You should walk 780 kilometers on the Camino Santiago Compostela Pilgrimage,” said writer Sue Kenney, who has herself walked it twice, forwards and then backwards, presumably not because she had lost a contact.

“No. Absolutely never.”

We all nodded understandingly.

“I am going to will something to happen. Did you guys watch The Secret? If I think about it, it will come.”

And I closed my eyes and focused on a handsome, hunky beefcake who was a mighty fine guitar player and singer, a superb chef and wine hobbyist, a superlative storyteller with a hearty laugh, a slight Irish accent, and a chocolate lab.

2 days later I was invited on an all expense paid trip to Hollywood to Escape from Boredom and to test out the new 2008 Ford Escape.

“Omigosh. It works!”
