1 Go A's!
2 Hey, I KNOW I'm a Giants' fan, meat! But you go with the Bay Area team no matter what, unless YOUR team is pitted against theirs, in which case, an earthquake usually ensues and we all just thank JAY-zuss that we're just walkin' around.
3 Gotta love it.
4 So let's see...hmmm.
5 I rollicked through the Merc News yesterday for inspiration, but really, not much going on these days. Well, five weeks prior to election day should amount to something, but the sad fact is that Phil Angelides looks like the classic 90-pound weakling who spent a goodly part of his youth having sand kicked in his face by the Schwarzeneggers of the world.
6 I could picture Ahnold looking up over his massles, screaming down to Lil' Phil, "HAH HAVH SOME SAHND, MAC!"
7 And then walking off with two empty-headed bikini babes on each arm tossing Angelides a couple of bucks for his trouble, and Lil' Phil looking up defeated, deflated, but with a vow of vengeance some day...
8 I remember seeing this old comic book that had an entire page devoted to that concept. I remember it was called THE INSULT THAT MADE A MAN OUT OF "MAC".
9 Well lo and behold! Last night I stumbled across a picture of that ad, and I just laughed. It's a bit scratchy, but here ya go. It's just grand! Don't even try to read the bubbles, try as I may, I couldn't make them work. But the pictures are priceless. I love the change that makes a man out of "Mac".
10 Wouldn't it be cool if AHNOLD somehow, through his macho behavior, suddenly inspired Lil' Phil to make a MAN out of himself? It'd be hilarious, and if I had photoshop, I'd show you, but really, as always this year, I'm in a race to get the DN done before my computer freezes. But imagine Lil' Phil with huge massles, and you get the visual.
11 Moving on: I went down to YB last night to help the Pigeon Players move their stuff out. Very strange. The Theatre was wide open because Rooney's picture d00ds were there, as was good ol' Evelyn Te, a dear friend from a few years back. She went through a bout of health concerns and seems to be recovering pretty healthily. Her operations have cost her up to $100,000. I'd love to offer some help, but before I go announcing anything, I'm going to contact her and see how to arrange that.
12 She had a stout bout of cancer a few years back. I don't know if I'm at liberty to go announcing that to the masses out there, but I'm pretty sure it's known. Well, she looked and felt great last night, so if you know Evelyn, it's perfectly okay to throw out a prayer for her. She seems to be doing fine, but could certainly use some financial help.
13 Anyway, she was working for Rooney's and will probably be at YB for the rest of the week, so I may get over to talk with her again.
14 Anyway, after we got all the props and stuff assembled, a caravan of cars drove out of YB, almost like a funeral procession without all the morbididy. We soldiered along Tully Road and ended at Public Storage, where helmets, model set designs, flowers, and set pieces were placed in storage.
15 We all exchanged good lucks and all, gave a few night hugs, and went our separate ways. I had to head back to the Theatre. Evelyn and Rooney's had all their stuff packed, and after a little more nice seein' ya agin's, left, leaving me alone in the Theatre for the first time since it all came crashing down.
16 And I felt nothing.17 It was weird turning each light off though. It felt sort of like the final episode of Friends. Of course I felt something but it disappeared rather quickly. LOTS of memories, but the sort ofmemories peope mention when they talk of their entire lives flashing in a few seconds when they have had near-death experiences. It happened, and then it was over.
17 Seconds later I was on the freeway headed home.
18 Still, it was sort of weird. But honestly, I would have thought I would have had a complete and total collapse. And I felt nothing.
19 Too late to bother with all of that tonight.
20 All in all, I had an awesome day yesterday. I won't bore you with all of that right now. I just sort of felt a bit like "Mac".
21
22 That's it. Think I'll just drift off today. I'm beat.
23 Have an awesome day today. Bring an umbrella.24 Peace. Go A's~H~
