Brays: The Movie

Here's my movie proposal. My concept is much more flushed out than this, but until we get all the talent onboard I think I'll hold off on publishing the full screenplay.

"Brays of Our Lives: Against the Tide." Projected release date: Oct. 23, 2012. Directed by Spike Jonze and Fenway Bartholomule. Cinematography by Vittorio Storaro. Screenplay by Fenway Bartholomule. Produced by Marnie "FarmWife" Jones with executive producer George Lucas. 

Synopsis: After Western Washington's Samish River ecology is disrupted by the presence of a mysterious contaminant, a small town mule uncovers a sinister genetic experiment in a secret, hidden facility near his home. To save his neighboring wetlands, the river ecology, and the world, Fenway Bartholomule must venture into the hidden marshes of the Samish headwaters and the subterranean laboratory of the world's most dangerous scientist. Racing against the clock and fighting for their lives, Fenway and his human family turn to a quiet hermit and his wild animal friends for help. Can Fenway and his friends shut down the villainous operation before seasonal flooding and a record high-tide spread the deadly toxin across the world's waters?


Amazing Grace as me, Fenway Bartholomule
Ewan McGregor as FarmHusband
Winona Ryder as FarmWife
Suri Cruise as Larval Human 2
Brooklynn Proulx as Larval Human 1
Dakota Fanning as Weanling Human
Ian McKellen as the gentle hermit
Lance Reddick as the cold-blooded assassin
Christopher Walken as the mad scientist
John Cusack as the small-town sheriff
Crispin Glover as the scheming tycoon

    Perish the thought, Fenway AND Ewan in the same movie...? A surefire hit!!!

    One of my favorite documentaries ever is "Long Way Round" , rentable on Netflix. But no need to bother with the follow-up called "Long Way Down"

    This, Valentino, was a truly collaborative effort, though FarmWife did tell me that I had to cast someone "hot" as FarmHusband. I'm not sure if I succeeded.

    Blue Page, a discussion with FarmHusband reveals that A) "Long Way Round" is on our Netflix queue, but B) they will not allow me to enter the house and go upstairs to where the TV lives.

    I have theme music for you: "Eight Brays a Week":


    "Ooh I need your love Farmwife,
    Guess you know it's true.
    Hope you need my love Farmwife,
    Just like I need you,Ooo.

    Feed me, groom me; ride me, feed me.
    I ain't got nothin' but love Farmwife,
    Eight days a week!"

    Tim Curry does creepier villains. Make him have a New Orleans accent, too. Then I can have Gabriel Knight flashbacks. :9

Here are the Cloud Dog's X-Rays

Here, for your edification, are the X-rays of dear Paisley's leg. There is, apparently, no new break (since his Monday siezure) but there is, of course, a great deal of abnormality caused by years of living with a shortened ulna. His pronounced lameness, the vet says, may temporarily improve. Unlike me, Fenway Bartholomule, poor cloud dog can't expect much in the way of a full recovery.   Not having the $$$$ for surgery to fuse the joint, we are working on making some sort of rigid splint to support the limb and prevent further degeneration. That is, the humans (with their space-age material inventions and their opposable thumbs) are working on making a splint; I am working on giving cloud dog brayful looks of support and encouragement every time he totters into the yard to relieve himself. As always, he fears me (me?!) and keeps his distance.  Ears to you,  Fenway

Saddle fitting nightmare

I wonder if they had to pay a saddle fitter to tell them the Schleese didn't fit. FB http://www.besthorsestuff.com/ShowAd/index.php?id=4deed0d102f85 For Sale: 18 inch Schleese Jes Elite dressage saddle with Flair Air panels.  This saddle is in exceptionally good, like-new condition with the exception of needing repairs to the front left air bag.  Our Schleese saddle fitter (at the May 28, 2011 fitting) quoted the repair cost at $75-$150. The tree is currently set to "wide" and can be fully adjusted by a saddle fitter.  See the Schleese website for more details. Asking $1200 OBO, a significantly reduced price compared to the current market value of $2000 for the same saddle in pristine, like-new condition. NOTE:  The "saddle rack" is not for sale.  Heehee! Please contact us for more details, serial numbers, questions, or pictures of the saddle.  This is very nice, quality, comfortable and correct saddle for a fraction of the cost, even after the r...
