Monday, September 15, 2008 Dexter? i barely even knew heri felt really bad about getting on a plane with such a God-awful cold, but i soon realized every 4th passenger also had the same tell-tale cough. i thought i'd sleep the whole flight, but ended up getting through half of the second season of Dexter, which had been waiting, unwatched on my iphone for several months. i can't believe i let it sit for so long, it's sooo effin good! | Permalink Saturday, September 13, 2008 Zombies & Ghosts our driver got us lost on the way to La Gaurdia Airport yesterday. well, not really lost, but he took us on a ten minute detour as suggested by his portable GPS system. La Gaurdia is the easiest of NYC's three major airports to get to. listen, i'm all for using tools, but at some point you must integrate that sweet pea brain of yours... yes, the one between your ears. i'm sorry for being mean, it's just that i get so frustrated by living in a society made up of Zombies & Ghosts. what happens to a culture of people that foregoes it's own intellect & intuitive instinct? how many of us are metaphorically using a crackpot GPS system to guide our lives? | Permalink Wednesday, September 10, 2008 cold remedy i've been in bed since sunday recovering from a really nasty summer cold. i'd love to be out enjoying NYC, but i know to not push it. my healing process includes staying in bed and watching my favorite Goldie Hawn movies. 1. seems like old times 2. private benjamin 3. foul play 4. the duchess & the dirtwater fox 5. overboard 6. shampoo 7. death becomes her 8. best friends 9. butterflies are free 10. housesitter | Permalink Monday, September 08, 2008 crystal methodi was at Century City mall last week and spotted the legendary Crystal McCarey. "are you the Soul Train dancer?" i asked. "yes, i am" she replied. we talked about how cool it is that they're airing the Best of Soul Train on saturday nights. i didn't tell her how obsessed i became with her about 5 years ago. i think she was on the show even longer than the Asian chick with the long hair. she now designs her own jewelry collection.  meanwhile, the only reason i went to Century City mall was to see Death Race. it sucked ass. i was hoping Joan Allen was gonna bring it like an ol' school b-movie villianess... she didn't. the whole time i'm watching this yawnathon, i'm thinkin' Sharon Stone would've been perfect for this. saw Hamlet 2 in Delaware on friday night. it effin rocked my cock! funny as hell. 4 people walked out of the movie after 15 minutes, leaving J and i as the only 2 audience members. . | Permalink Sunday, September 07, 2008 east coastJ and i drove from NYC to Delaware City for an outdoor gig we thought would be certainly cancelled due to Hurricane Hanna. the show went on as scheduled. it stopped raining 30 minutes before i took the stage. i had fun, but caught a wicked cold. too bad i feel so crappy, cause it's a beautiful day here back in Gotham. | Permalink Friday, September 05, 2008 que sera, sera Georges came to LA and visited me for a few days. he brought 5 of his paintings that he re-stretched and hung in my apartment. i also went to Allee Willis' and acquired 2 new paintings from Bubbles The Artist. my place has now been totally transformed. Georges and i were so consumed by Doris Day that we listened to her music non-stop and watched season 4 of her TV show every night. having so much Doris on the brain, it shouldn't have surprised me to cross paths with one of Doris' old boyfriends, but it did. Sly Stewart of Sly & The Family Stone dated Doris in the early 70's. he and his entourage were having lunch outside on Sunset Plaza when i walked by. he waved at me and i waved back. i'll never forget seeing Sly & The Family Stone perform at the height of their popularity. he took the stage nearly 2 hours late, but it was well worth the wait. This was originally to be a comeback vehicle for Marilyn Monroe, under the working title of Something's Got to Give. Monroe was fired for seldom showing up, appearing in only about 30 minutes of usable film. Unable to complete the movie, and having already sunk a considerable amount of money into the production, 20th Century Fox went ahead with the project, under a new title, new director, and recast stars. At first, they tried to continue with Lee Remick in Monroe's place, but Dean Martin balked at working with anyone else and that version was never completed. Monroe was re-hired but died before she could resume filming. Doris Day and James Garner were eventually cast. | Permalink 2009 RuCo, Inc.—All Rights Reserved |
