Natter 34: Freak With No Name
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
No problem, Betsy. Feel free to ask away.
And that Palpatine I'd have recognized.
Me, too.
Jess, on the jury duty thing -- I have no idea. (Does NYC or New York [state] have a website that explains things? I rely on the internets for everything, it seems.)
I think ChiKat already commented on the graffiti, but I'd just like to share anyway... [link]
I received a jury summons about a month ago, except I served in 2003 and so shouldn't be eligible until 2007. I meant to fax in the certificate that says I already served, but I completely spaced on doing it until tonight. Problem is, I was supposed to call in last night to see if they needed me as a juror. How much trouble am I in?
Depending on how pissy the Clerk of Courts is, you could be held in contempt. But I'd call, be contrite and ask where you can fax your waiver of duty to first thing in the morning.
I got to meet Partyman too!
everything makes me think of SNL today.
OOH, there was a man at Allyson's KICKASS Lost Party (tm) wearing a t-shirt that said "More Cowbell", and I knew what it meant.
I faxed it tonight, so they'll have it in the morning. I just should have done it last night. Or last week.
I should probably still call.
I got no idea about the NYC jury service.
I think I just saw something unusual on local network tv. WBAL (NBC affiliate) ran an hourlong program "Survivors Among Us" which was interviews/travels with local Holocaust survivors with no commercials. And frankly, it was really really well done.
I normally am seriously not impressed by local programming. Not so this time.Especially appreciative of the message emphasized that now that you know the stories, you are a witness with all the responsibility that entails.
Is ita around?
Johnny Depp opinion piece (in The Onion).
It's only natural for artists to compare the creative purity of their early work to the compromised work of their later careers. I'm no exception. As I sit here in my chateau in France, absent-mindedly flipping through the script for The Diving Bell And The Butterfly by Oscar-winning screenwriter Ronald Harwood, I think of the man I used to be, and my heart sinks. I know I shouldn't let thoughts of the past get me down. Rather, I should overcome my insecurities and remind myself that there could be an even bigger success around the corner. Why, you never know what you can achieve if you just believe in yourself and... Aw, hell. Who'm I kidding here? I'll never top 21 Jump Street and I know it.
