— Reading Game of Shadows<\/a><\/i> at last. I’ve had it ever since it came out – but now is the time to read it- what with the whole career homerun brou-haha that’s going on right now. I won’t even type his name because I still get occasional hate mail from the piece I wrote about him in 2003 when I called him a racist. I stand by that remark, but I don’t want the psychos bothering me anymore. I took the old post down but people still find it thru Google cache. It sucks. Being a racist is the least of his issues – but whatevs. I can’t put the book down, by the way. (Gladwell blogs about it here<\/a>. I’ve been on a renewed Malcolm Gladwell kick … spurred on by my conversation with David the other night.)<\/p>\n

— There is nothing I like better these days than to hang out on Quantum Leap<\/i> fan sites and message boards. I love all of those people. I’ve still only re-watched season 1 and season 2 – (I mean, since they were first on) … so I’m excited to keep going. I love the show. And the “leapers”, as they call themselves, are a passionate bunch, I tell ya. I fit right in.<\/p>\n

— Cashel, Siobhan and I stood by the side of the road and watched the parachuters filling the air from the hovering helilcopters. It was pretty cool. Like the beginning of Red Dawn<\/i>. Cashel filmed it. He seemed pleased with his footage.<\/p>\n

— Laughed so hard in the car with Jean and Siobhan that I thought I would die from lack of oxygen. I was in the middle of telling a story and boom. The laughter hit. They had to wait for me to stop HOWLING – but it took FOREVER. It had to do with Little Shop of Horrors<\/i> and renting the video back when we were kids.<\/p>\n

— the following article <\/a>fascinated<\/i> me, for various personal reasons I won’t go into. Really interesting.<\/p>\n

— Music listened to in the car so far: Timbaland, High School Musical, LEO <\/a>(a genius goofball rock-opera idea – a takeoff on ELO – by 3 dudes we all LOVE), Little Shop of Horrors, Grace Potter, Dr. Dre, Mike Viola singing Paul Simon’s “American Tune” (my God), and then a segue to Paul Simon (natural progression). Oh and I listened to Queens of the Stone Age and also Olivia Newton-John.<\/p>\n

— Great night out with David before I took off. Spur of the moment. Topics covered: kickboxing, the Dalai Lama, neuroscience, facial expressions and Paul Ekman, auditions and the agony thereof in some cases, Law & Order vs. Wal-Mart – agony!!, leaping off the Olympic diving board at his public pool and that whole experience, breakthrus in perception in regards to reality, masturbation, Patrick Hughes<\/a>, the Red Sox, Dean Stockwell in Psych-Out<\/a><\/i> (hm, who brought that one up?), acting, growing older, marriage, sex, liquor … I’m not even coming CLOSE to scraping the surface of what we talked about. It was awesome – a well-needed touching base.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
