Randomalia...
So it's been a while. Here's what's been happening:
- Went to Medieval Times last weekend for Andy's birthday. Yeah...not my thing exactly. When you go in, they give you a colored paper crown (just like at Burger King) based on where you're sitting and what knight you're supposed to be cheering for. Well, instead of just handing it to me like a normal person, this fucking idiot tries to put the crown on my head. And so, not wanting to a) be touched by a stranger and b) look like a douchebag with a paper crown on my head, I back away and say no thanks. Instead of taking this chance to just hand me the fucking thing, she keeps trying to put it on my head. Well, goddammit, what do you think happened next? I keep backing away, she keeps trying to put it on me. So now I look like an even bigger douchebag running away from a teenager trying to give me a fucking paper crown. I really don't think it's unreasonable not to want a stupid paper crown, but apparently not at Medieval Times.
- Dolph is trying to grow a mustache. I guess he doesn't know he has blonde hair.
- In other Dolph news, he correctly picked the Bengals to go 8-8 this year. So now he's picking them to win the Super Bowl next year.
- So if you're keeping score, Dolph a) is growing an invisible mustache and b) thinks he's clairvoyant.
- If you're not watching The Sarah Silverman Show, you're missing out. She's just a brilliant performer. There's this promo running on Comedy Central for tomorrow night's show where she's giving a speech to schoolkids -- just watch her face. She gets all the mannerisms of a school speaker down perfectly, while saying some vile, hilarious shit.
- Also good and funny: 30 Rock. I initially stayed away because Tina Fey, former head writer of Saturday Night Live. Given the last time SNL was good was when Will Ferrell was on the show and it has been just unwatchable since then, staying away was a good assumption, I think. Anyway, this is one time I'm happy to be wrong. Best comedy of the year, and unlike other shows I could mention, this actually is great. Hopefully it doesn't get cancelled, which of course it will be.
- Andy Richter is coming back, this time as comedy P.I. I give it three shows before it's replaced by yet another hour of Howie Mandel spare-ing up the TV.
- Speaking of Andy, why hasn't Andy Richter Controls the Universe been released on DVD?
- Watched Harold and Maude finally. I liked it, even if I now can't get several octogenarian-sex images out of my head. Thanks for that, Ann. Anyway, how did Bud Cort not become a huge star? He's fucking great in this, the Jason Schwartzman of his time. What happened here?
- Hey, so the Shins finally released a new album. Despite the Garden State stigma, they're still great.
- Pitchers and catchers have reported to camp!

So glad you watched Harold & Maude--my all time favorite movie, appreciation of which used to be my litmus test for new friends. I guess you can be my friend.
Also, I wasn't quite sold on 30 Rock either at first, mostly because I don't like Tracy Morgan, but the Pee-Wee Herman cameo won me over. The image of him with his little porcelain hand is burned in my mind, more so than any naked Maude could ever be.
