I've been feeling the lack of that for myself lately.
Yeah, Sarameg. It's also hard to get out of that rut.
Today is a lickity split zippy day.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

No kidding. On the first. Day is dragging here.
I've been trying to drag myself, kicking and screaming and hanging on to the doorjamb with my fingernails, out to something new-to-me and possible forward moving at least once a week. I'm otherwise content to molder in my cave, but that's just not proving healthy. So far so good. But it's ...work.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Moldering in cave...sounds like a plan.
Okay, not so much. But...cozy. And fun, what with imaginary friends in the lighted box, and books, and cat, and, and....
Okay. Walks outside are good too. But yeah, work.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So what do famous folks and their hangers-on do in clubs? Do they dance with the hoi polloi or just lurk in the VIP section and feel fabulous?
What little experience I have with this indicates that certain celebrity types like to find cool little out of the way bars that feel "real" (whatever that means in Hollywood). They like a good jukebox and ambience and want to just hang with their friends. The bar has to have a cool enough clientele that they won't be bothered for autographs. And inevitably they kind of hit and run - they either visit one place for a month or so and discard it, or they only return to that place on an irregular basis. (Note: Survey sample size limited to Sean Penn and Nicholas Cage, who frequent the Tosca Cafe in North Beach (Sean) and The Saturn Club in New Orleans (Nic).)

Everytime Mr. H has had them in there's NSM with the hangers-on. There is no VIP* section so they're pretty much just sitting around with everyone else or playing pool, or whatever. Mostly they're either ignored or chatted with.
*The exception is the party for some of the Mavs who got the basketball court blocked off for them.
Took a while to respond because of work stuff. How y'all doing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Now, Muldering in a cave sounds fun.

Also known as a hang-out for Tom Waits. The main things I remember about it are the cockroaches in the cashew machine and the oddball junk I had to step over to get to the men's room.

All in all, I'd rather be Scullying.

Don't jaguars darken as they grow up? And still have to rosette pattern in the black?
