My Week in Entertainers

I couldn't walk down the street this past week without tripping over an actor!

Monday night was David Faustino on the streets of West Hollywood followed by Macaulay Culkin and Mila Kunis (as previously reported) at Gelson's.

Friday night dining at Sor Tino we saw Matthew Rhys from Brothers and Sisters (my friend had to point him out I don't watch the show). Once at our table for a while I looked up and said "Oh my God!" as I saw who was sitting two tables away. Harrison Ford! And across the table, Calista Flockhart! They were with two younger women (his daughters?) and looked to be having a really good time. As they left Mr. Ford scooped up Ms. Flockhart's sleeping young son in his arms...very sweet! As Calista was packing up personal belongings from the table the people at the table between us started talking to her. They had a very nice exchange. I could see three of the people at the table. When that table got up to leave the fourth person who I hadn't seen was Mike Farrell (from MASH)! As it turns out, he is the brother of my boss Preston's assistant, Kathy. So, I got up and said hello to Mike Farrell. He was very polite and introduced me to his wife. Who had purplish streaks in her silver hair.

Today, at Pavillions, I saw Will Arnett. He was browsing the English Muffins.

And...that's it.

Green grannies.

Just need to watch/listen to the first minute or so to get a good taste of the freakishness.

7 Clues Dumbledore Was Gay

This is pretty funny.

The best clue:

2. His name. While the anagram to "Tom Marvolo Riddle" is "I am Lord Voldemort," as my good friend pointed out, "Albus Dumbledore" becomes "Male bods rule, bud!"

Three Things

Hey Grannies!

Thing No. 1
FINALLY saw recognizable faces at my West Hollywood Gelson's...Macauley Culkin and Mila Kunis!

Thing No. 2
What three proteins make up a Three Protein Granny?

Thing No. 3
Here's my dilemma Gentlemen, please help me with this. At the supermarket I know it's more 'green' to get paper rather than plastic. BUT, I use the small plastic bags as garbage bags because I generally take my garbage out every day. I do use the bigger bags that one buys for that purpose, but they are too big for the days when I take my trash out daily. As I continue to get plastic bags, I feel like I'm being judged and that I'm doing the wrong thing even though I'm using the bags for a practical purpose. Thoughts?

Dumbledore Pride

Dumbledore was gay?

I had no idea. Ms. Rowling is full of revelations these days. I suppose this will make more folks try to ban the books now.

what say the grannies?

Foggy in Chicago

Fergus! The seas are not choppy.

The Next Al Gore?

I was in NYC today to give a talk. Now I'm in Chicago for a conference.

and she's off...

When I was in Boston, it was the first time I'd seen Olive walk and boy did she ever. At every opportunity, she'd take off without a care in the world of where she was or who was with her. she's still totally mini-kyle in a dress but she's starting to look a bit more like Blue, ie in her cheeks when she smiles.

UPDATE: Wacky, after seeing the dancer turning counter-clockwise, I finally was able to see it going the other way and then had difficulty NOT seeing it that way.

Jumper Looks Freakin Cool

Underwhelming

Saw Michael Clayton over the weekend. Have to say, I was expecting it to be better. First of all, Tilda Swinton is hardly in it but to listen to reviews, you'd think she has a starring role. Also, the cutting between threads, while narratively interesting, makes it very difficult to get emotionally attached to any aspect of Clayton's life, which is part of the point, but still is a problem for the film. One of the themes is "who is Michael Clayton" but even the very barest of definitions of who he is, an effective "fixer," isn't borne out by events. The movie has moments, especially certain performances, but this is one of those movies that looks more important than it is.

Where's Beeton?

Our creator seems to have abandoned his grannies!

So disturbing. And funny. And hot. And recommended.

Wonder Woman

Dinner!

In the spirit of a friend from work who blogs about her adventures in cooking (and is a geography major to boot), I present an image of tonight's dinner in the making. The veg are all from the Baltimore City Farmer's Market. I really like the purple broccoli, although it does lose some color when you grill it.

Found out the bunker hill monument has 300 steps the hard way.

Jersey Boys

This is quite possibly 34 years old. I'd been wanting to play along with the rest of you, but our scanner was under a tarp as "they" finished fixing the hole where the rain gets in.

Shout out

disturbing

I present to you The Banana Guard, c/o my Mom who passed this on after seeing it recommended in Gourmet Magazine avec this snark:

YES, WE ARE HAPPY TO SEE YOU The redesigned Banana Guard actually delivers what it promises in our test. Two ripe bananas traveled together in a backpack, one encased in yellow plastic and the other unprotected. An hour's commute later, the skin of one was barely marked while the other's had two major bruises.

Clintonian hubbub.

Bill was in store for the UK launch of GIVING.

Almost.

Pushing Daisies?

Anyone else watch Pushing Daisies last night? I'm still trying to figure out what exactly I saw and whether or not I liked it.

The Beeton Boys Almost 30 Years Ago

Hmm, guess I was always squinty and Jeremy's always worn a dress. Some things never change.

GAWRRRR!

Off to London.

And, I FINALLY purchased a camera, so I can post from the road.

Me and my sister at an equivalent age.

Don't get me wrong...

Josh and I are adorable. But for the love God, somebody post something!
