I got stupid. The money was too good.

hip deep in pie
Jason Bateman is decidedly unhip
One of my friends on another board went to a McSweeney's thing and Jason Bateman was there, and she said it was funny to see this Hollywood guy dressed like all the McSweeney's hipters. Granted that's literary geek hipster, but hipster nonetheless.
I was just coming to sigh over how damn cute I find Dave Grohl.
Me too, msbelle, stringy hair and all. Sigh.
Alicia Keys shiny, shiny leggings scared me.

Amusing moment in Chez Zmayhem tonight:
While the TV is playing and we're half paying attention we hear an ad for a new episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
"Law & Order: Crinoline Tent?"
Policing the fashion world. The literal Fashion Police.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
In the criminal fashion system, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important, groups: the police who shirek and throw wave their hands at the crime and the district attorneys who slap the shit out of the offenders. These are their stories.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hey, am I right in thinking that the writers' strike has been settled?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe--check the last few posts in Minearverse for details.

And Greg Rucka! (What? He's geek famous!)

Hee!
BILLYTEA! I think so.
In elementary school, I carpooled with a current state representative, a writer on King of the Hill, and a couple other guys who have more impressive CVs than I do. I also went to elementary school, middle school, and high school with this guy [link] but despite him being absurdly talented, he's not exactly a household name. (The last time I saw him was the '92 caucus. We were sitting with our elementary teacher and discussing our general feelings regarding a lack of direction, or something.)
I don't think anyone I've ever been friends with has become famous, though my upstairs neighbors in Downtown Olympia did (as Sleater Kinney). Friends in common, but I didn't know them. Same deal with her. [link]
Then again, my high school friends were the IB crowd, and my college friends were the gamer/computer geek crowd, not exactly the areas where people become household or even cult names.
