Week 24

Celebrities sightings of the week: James Rebhorn (Silkwood, My Cousin Vinny, Independence Day, The Game, Meet the Parents) at EST and Willard Scott (Today Show weatherman) at Barnes and Noble.
News: Well, I‚m working on a screenplay called THE MATCH and it's all about my four glorious years as Collegiate's Newspaper Advisor. I almost cried re-reading it - what a great group of kids (tear). Boy do I miss them. Boy did we have a good time.
Anyway, saw the Matrix last night, Opening Night in Times Square - how cool is that. To get in the spirit I put on a black leather jacket and sunglasses, and promptly got shit on by a pigeon as I entered the subway. My roommates laughed.
The Matrix is f*cking awesome. Sorry, but it is. A couple of times the story got weak, but there was so much mega-bad-ass kung fu that it made up for it. And Trinity's entrance on the motorcycle is the coolest entrance in the history of cool entrances. It rivals Batman's entrance in Batman 2 (with Val Kilmer, Jim Carrey, etc.) Go see it - it won't be the same on the small screen.
Oh, thanks to everyone who came to our housewarming party. Oh, wait. Nobody did. We sent out, what, 60 invitations? Seven people came. Let's see, who took the time and made the effort to come on out to Queens? Let's see. There was Jack from work. He's 78. Dorothy from work. She's 62. Jenn's friends from church, (a couple in their 70's and two gay men, one 60, one 34.)
And then there was my friend Annah, whose claim to fame is being the nurse on Guiding Light. Annah, bless her heart, single-handedly brought down the median age of the standard partygoer from 63 to 58. Thanks Annah. You're a chum. May the rest of you get shit on by pigeons.
