picking the pope, a romcom

So I had this idea recently when sitting in a chatroom with some folks, discussing the process of Pope-choosing and it occured to me that if the next Pope were hip and young, that it would be the greatest setup for a romcom, like ever. If chosing the Pope isn’t Romantic Comedy fodder, I don’t know what is…
He’s the next religious superstar! Like Buddah or Jesus, or the Billy Graham, and the hordes of zealots are chasing him around, throwing their… rosaries or something, like Tom Jones! But our Pope, he doesn’t have time for that, he’s just a simple, good old-fashioned, man of God kinda guy, caught up in all this chaos, until he meets Sister Mary-Margaret (who reminds him of his boyhood crush- Mother Teresa) and they fall deeply in love. Or Maybe he’s the bad-boy Pope, a real Colin Farrell kinda guy, shaking the Church up for holy father; Repent or die! I dunno, what am I, a religious scholar? I’m telling you, catch those ‘The Passion’ fans on the rebound! That’s BO gold man!
Anyway, been having a good week, aside for the nightly caffiene headachers. All my characters are cooperating, and keeping me happy. Film festival is next weekend, so this weekend hoping to knock some pages out the box and staying productive.
Read TRON. Had been forever since I saw it and I really need to pick up the DVD. It’s a good read, and a rocking movie; it’s over at SFY. Had my little computer geeky self grinning.
