Aimee, life in Philly is so much less expensive so it would be like getting a raise to b/c of cost of living. Where are the offices?

Well, almost everything bill-wise would remain the same. Even rent, although we'll be in a bigger place. The offices are on Market Street downtown Philly.

DAMN! Now am sad again. I could imdb, but that would require effort.

Huh, I realize that I have no real idea who Balthazar Getty is, despite the fact that he is in one of my favorite god awful bad movies of all times Young Guns 2. Odd that.

Also, I am eating a calzone, but now would much rather be having fried plaintains. The calzone is giving me heartburn. Or maybe it's the root beer.

When I think about moving again, I want to live somewhere we might one day be able to afford a house. Which we could do in philly, maybe, or Baltimore. Not so much with DC. But reality is given Lori's job, we're not moving so we'll never own a house.

kat, he's on Alias. He's cute in a roughhewn, angry boy way.

Kat, if it makes you feel any better, I IMDBed him, saw that he's been in tons of movies that I've seen, and still have no better sense of who he is.

Balthazar Getty also in "Lord of the Flies". Mmmm....BIGGEST school girl crush on him. It's the piercing blue eyes.

I love all of these Kat posts right in a row! Such fun.

Yeah, I never got into Alias, despite the pretty and the seemingly silly fun.

Getty leaves me cold.

I could own a house someday. In Jamaica. I can't think of anywhere else in the US to move. Florida doesn't grab me, and most everything else is either too cold or far from the ocean.

I think I will be having fries with my Thai curry. Just not yet.

Who is Balthazar Getty? David Foster Wallace can tell you.

Balthazar Getty, about whom the less said the better, probably, except maybe to say that he looks sort of like Tom Hanks and John Cusack and Charlie Sheen all smunched together and then emptied of some ineffable but vital essence. He's not particularly tall, but he looks tall in Lost Highway's footage because he has extremely poor posture and Lynch has for some reason instructed him to exaggerate the poor posture. As a Hot Young Male Actor, Balthazar Getty is to Leonardo DiCaprio roughly what a Ford Escort is to a Lexus. His breakthrough role was as Ralph in the latest Lord of the Flies, in which he was bland and essenceless but not terrible. He was miscast and misdirected as a homeless kid in Where the Day Takes You (like how does a homeless kid manage to have fresh mousse in his hair every day9), and surprisingly good in White Squall. To be frank, it's almost impossible for me to separate predictions about how good Balthazar Getty's going to be in Lost Highway from my impressions of him as a human being around the set, which latter impressions were so uniformly negative that it's probably better not to say too much about it. For just one thing, he'd annoy the hell out of everybody between takes by running around trying to borrow everybody's cellular phone for an 'emergency.' For another thing, he was a heavy smoker but never had his own cigarettes and was always bumming cigarettes from crewpeople who you could tell were making about I percent of what he was making on the movie. I admit I eavesdropped an some of his cellular-phone conversations, and in one of them he said to somebody 'But what did she say about me?' three times in a row. I admit none of these are exactly capital offenses, but they added up. Okay, fuck it: The single most annoying thing about Balthazar Getty was that whenever Lynch was around, Getty would be very unctuous and over-respectful and ass-kissy, but when Lynch wasn't around Getty would make fun of him and do an imitation of his distinctive speaking voice that wasn't a very good imitation but struck me as being disrespectful and mean.)
