My goodness, Raq, what a list you have. Most of my celebrity connections are second hand. We do get some on yachts here, but they tend not to come into town much. Plus, I am an oblivious sort and could wander around celebrities and wildlife alike, and miss them completely. Although, I've seen a few bears and, when I lived in CA, George Lucas. The bears usually seem smaller than I would have expected, but George Lucas was seated, so I don't really know.

I keep picturing chilly kitties running around the apartment. I imagine them thinking that at least it's cool enough for exercise.

I have met Anthony Stewart Head, backstage in London, as I am sure most people here know, because I gushed enough at the time. I have met a few people from soap operas I watched when I was younger. I saw Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft having lunch at the River Cafe in London at the same time I was, but I didn't approach them because they seemed to be having lunch with what I assumed was their grandchildren. I met Majel Barrett at the one and only con I have ever been to. I think that is it.

Plain old tylenol seems to have taken the edge off the pain. It's been so long since I have felt like this, I had almost forgotten that. I think I am going to try to get a little bit of sleep now.

Er. I met Michael Palin once. Which I've mentioned before, I think. I was rendered utterly tongue-tied and wide-eyed and fannishly adoring. It was ghastly embarrassing, but he was every bit as nice about it as one might expect.

I bumped into Simon Callow once.

...er, that's it, pretty much.

However, ion, I have the Buffista Cookbook!!!!

Woohoo! Just discovered it! AIFG!!!

BUT, I never paid for it. I did the whole getting-to-the-F2F thing, and there were several people I had stuff and/or money for, and I know I owe somebody money for the cookbook and I am so crap that I don't even know who paid for it.

t deeply ashamed

All my recipes are going to be seasoned with guilt.

Oh man, I have such a crush on him!

I'm sure the LAistas have longer celebrity sighting lists - I only lived there 5 years. And despite my best stalking efforts in Santa Fe, I have not yet bumped into Val Kilmer.

My only celebrity sighting was of Joan Rivers, alas. I was sitting behind her at a play when I was on vacation in London.

Aimée! Have you seen this photo?

sj, hope you finally got some sleep. I'm so sorry about your stomach aches, I get those every once in a while and they SUCK SUCK SUCK. Like you, I used to get them mor frequently and I was convinced it was some sort of food allergy. It wasn't though. I don't know what it is.

GOING TO MAINE OMG WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

See y'all at the end of the week, Happy 4th of Julys to all who celebrate it!

Apropos of nothing - has anyone heard anything from AmChau recently? I can't recall when I last saw her in the threads.

She's been travelling and posting about that, Dr. Who and Star Wars fic in her LJ. I think her LJ name is the same as her board name, if you want to look her up.

Gronklies. I did get some sleep last night. Hope the rest of the night shift here got a bit of rest as well.

I found out tonight that at nearly twenty-nine years old, when I feel that sick, I still want my mother to come take care of me. I didn't call her, of course, but I wanted to. Pathetic much?

Nah, my mother was in her late forties when she mentioned to me that it didn't matter how old you are, you still want your mom when sick.
