Celebrity Idiots -- The Jamie Fox and Hulk Hogan Edition
Ovid, I know that you say you "just live" your insanely healthy diet and lifestyle, but to me, being deprived of all of those things would be like plucking the goldfish from its bowl and placing it gently on a silk napkin--to writhe. You must eat a LOT to keep the fuel going, but you said you eat occasional fish and chicken. Aside from the fowl, my doctor would consider you her poster boy. What is your secret? Is it the gym activity driving you on to new and improbable heights of wellness?— April 24, 2009 1:04 p.m.
What have you done that most people haven't?
Mea culpa! Sorry, Bubbles. No excuse for it. In "Mr. Lonely," there's a scene of the MJ impersonator on some kind of trike, with a blow-up "Bubbles" balloon trailing behind. Those sandwiches must have been good--a natural combo. They'd undoubtedly taste better while wearing a homemade Elvis costume.— April 24, 2009 2:47 a.m.

I'm trying to wind down from a massive grading stint--Ambien time... Sweet dreams to you too, dear.— April 24, 2009 2:40 a.m.

Ovod, I meant the whole idea that one does not eat better or even eat if the wife doesn't cook. Trying to fix that assumption around my place, too. How is the raw diet going for you? How's digestion? No pelmeni,then, I assume :) Yeah, I agree with you about DZ Akins, and definitely know a good deli when I taste one. Hey, speaking of delis, the owner of Balducci's crashed my wine tour in Bordeaux years ago. I was hoping he'd write me some form of gift certificate, but alas... I will make no comment on Russian drinking stereotypes. George Hamilton is not orange. George Hamilton is so much hotter. Classier! Not even the same league. And he had lip augmentation before anyone even knew what it was! You just know GH and Charo were hitting up the same petroleum "doctor" for those full, sensual smackers. How would Bret Michaels measure up on the Love Boat? Fantasy Island? Not!— April 24, 2009 2:27 a.m.

Hey lallaw, sorry I presumed to have Mr. Board cover your shindig. Probably best that we all retain some air of deep and complex mystery around here ;) If he shows up with any writing implements, we'll just throw them in the pool. The meaningful coincidence thing, or as Jung and the Police called it, "synchronicity," can be psychologically revealing, and as I remember, Freud sees it as a key to understanding unconscious wishes and desires--it isn't so much the synchronistic or coincidental event or image that holds some mystical power, but the significance of what you notice as meaningful. Although, I did freak a little last week when seeing the name "C. Latham" (name of an elderly deceased friend and father figure) three times in a day in totally unconnected places (scrawled on a notepad, on a building's side, and in conversation with a stranger), I understand that it is because I lost a friend of this name that I even noticed. If I only had a quarter everytime my guy thought something portentious spoke through a set of coincidences! Hey Josh, don't they have rules about people posting the same blogs in multiple neighborhoods? I am noticing folk with political agendas doing this. "Reader Police: please state your emergency..."— April 24, 2009 2:10 a.m.

Hey, I wish you had been on the panel, Josh! I need a new laptop. Thanks for reading :)— April 23, 2009 11:34 p.m.

We were certainly close neighbors! I have no doubt that you have a lot to say, D.! If it helps, you could start under another pseudonym, then bravely step out as magicsfive later. If you start up, I promise I'll write more :)— April 23, 2009 7:24 p.m.

Wow! Clearly I missed out on a lot here that my gold e-ciggy didn't ;) I hope we are both invited to the pool party, and Mr. Board covers it. Magics, you should write. As lallaw suggests, it's all about letting go of your inner critic, or making him or her work for you, not against you. And I'm interested in the 1:11 phenom too! Are you talking about the "historymatters" person? I haven't read any of those blogs yet, but am annoyed that my little Banker's Hill blog is lost between about a zillion of hers! Guess I'd better get writing, too! Magics, why don't you post a North Park blog, your old digs?— April 23, 2009 6:33 p.m.
A Cop and Contestant in a Pagaent
Hey mike1. It's one of those shows I think best to watch chronologically. Once it sets up, you start picking up on all of the self-referential stuff that makes no sense if you jump in at the middle.— April 23, 2009 6:15 p.m.
