I'm now officially a lady of leisure. What I've learned thus far: That old Kevin Bacon movie "Quicksilver" gets a LOT of play on cable. And the HGTV channel is strangely hypnotic.
Random celebrity sighting yesterday at Finn McCool's in Santa Monica. Actually, he's not well-known enough to be a celebrity, but I've always thought he was sexy: Joaquim de Almeida. He looks great packing a gun - wish he was doing it in that drippy Marisa Tomei-Robert Downey, Jr. movie "Only You."


I crush on the oddest people.

As a redhead, the pickup line I hear often from guys is, "Hey, has anyone ever told you that you look like Nicole Kidman?" But after seeing this photo, all I can say is: Fellas, them aren't courting words.


Yet Keith looks perfectly coiffed. / Yup, I look just like Nic. My nephew agrees.

Someone is trying to kill Jon Stewart and David Letterman?! Fortunately the plot was foiled, so we won't have to live in a Leno-only world. Jimmy Kimmel, watch your ass.
Scary Spice is pregnant with Eddie Murphy's baby? That is one fertile dude. With his seventh kid on the way, he'll be flogging that Shrek donkey role straight into the direct-to-home-video abyss.
Pity dates... a bad thing?
I went out with a pleasant, nice enough fellow, but there was no chemistry. Bupkus. Unfortunately, he seems to like me and would like to go out again. I feel like I'm about to club a baby seal. Part of me wants to go out with him again just because I'd like to delay the clubbing. Which would make it a pity date and kind of mean.
Man, this dating thing is hard. No wonder I swore it off for a couple years.

Random celebrity sighting yesterday: Adam Arkin.
I saw him having lunch at the Farmer's Market on Fairfax. Looks much younger and more handsome in person. I like him, but the dude needs a good role STAT.

So, I was told at work that my contract isn't going to renewed. And if that wasn't enough, I had to write up a job description for my company's HR department so that they could find just the right person to replace me. Hm, what should the new me be like? I was going to include "must have no self-respect or original thought", but I didn't think that would go over well.
However, I was cheered to hear that Spaceballs is being made into an animated series. Fortunately it's for grown-ups, because there's just no way to make lines like "I bet she gives great helmet" child-friendly.
Now if I could just find some way to pay my rent, I'll be much happier.

Found this nugget on the "real" news wires - Mom Admits Rewarding Son with Pot
Man, was I cheated. My mother just rewarded me with Spaghetti-Os.
