This Blog? It is Done.

I've decided to shut down Jake's Studio. That doesn't mean I'm done writing. I'm just moving everything over to one blog. All my content will be there. Stories, politics, sports, stuff that pisses me off, and reviews when I feel like it.

Here's the link to the other page: The Rantin' Arkansan

You should come on over. It'll be a fun time.

M.D. Pearce, Druggist

So The Winslow Museum in Winslow, Arkansas (run by my mother) has decided to put on a couple of short plays (and I do mean short) in the spring about one of Winslow's most prominent citizens in its history: Maud Dunlap (Pearce) Duncan. The plays will be centered around Maud's becoming the second woman in Arkansas history to pass the Pharmacy exam in 1906, and with Maud becoming one of the first female mayors in the United States and the head of the first female municipal government in the country, aptly named The Petticoat Government, who ran Winslow from 1925 through 1927. Since I'm a burgeoning writer trying to get as much on my rather thin (nonexistent, really) resume, and I'm also not above trying to play off my mother's nepotism, I've been commissioned to write said plays. The first one, as you could probably tell, is titled "M.D. Pearce, Druggist". It is short little drabble about what I think it might have been like for Maud to get her Pharmacy license in 1906, when women weren't treated as equals, and Maud herself had gone through many trials in her life. The second play, which I'll be posting in the coming days, is titled "The First Meeting of the Petticoat Government". Kind of went straight to the point on that one. The museum will also be filming these productions when they are performed, so be looking for the videos in a few months (who am I kidding, no one reads this blog). 


So, without further ado, I present "M.D. Pearce, Druggist"...

NEW Untitled Project

So, I've started a new screenplay. It does not have a title yet, but suggestions are welcome. I will dance for comments if it will garner them.

Burn Notice "Acceptable Loss" Review

The team helps Jesse's friend take down his smuggling boss; Michael needs Pearce's help.

When we last left our wonder spies, Anson had marginalized Sam by making him look like he had ties with the FSB after Sam, Michael, and Anson (only if he had access to Michael's head) helped out Sam's Colombian journalist friend (who was smoking hot!). While that fun was going on, Fiona and Jesse blackmailed a dirty banker in the Cayman's to get Anson's $200 million that was being tracked. Not too mention Michael and Anson had a great "heart to heart" with Anson, with the reveal that Michael's father's heart attack wasn't all that random. Ah, fun times.
