Hollywood Goes Home For Me... Again...

They're shooting Indiana Jones 4 in my hometown, a block from where I grew up.
I always knew that Indiana Jones would show up to whisk me off to my new fairytale life, now that he's really showing up I don't live there any more (literally and fairytale-wise figuratively.)

I would love to see New Haven transformed back to 1957 and at this point in my life would be more interested in splitting some Pepe's pizza with Speilberg than getting swept off my feet by Han Solo ... ummm... ok, no, you're right I'd still run away with Han or Indy, but Mr. Speilberg if you're listening I know that city pretty damn well and would be MORE than happy to be your local New Haven expert :)

Memorializing 2007

Great 4 day weekend - went WAY too fast, the days literally slipped right by so no time for a full post right now, just a few more thoughts from the story people...

"Someday, the light will shine like a sun through my skin & they will say, What have you done with your life? & though there are many moments I think I will remember, in the end, I will be proud to say, I was one of us."


"My New Rules For Living Simply (As of This Year) 1. When bills come, just throw them out. Who needs all that clutter & heart-ache? 2. Have a room for everything. Don't ever do anything in a room you're not supposed to. (This works best in a hotel) 3. Take a couple of days & really find out your 3 favorite foods. Clear everything but these 3 foods out of your house. After awhile, you'll be so sick of them, you'll just go out to eat for every meal. Your kitchen will stay perfectly clean. (to be continued)"

Some Pithy Bits from the Story People

"I held out my hands & asked where I could help & somebody grabbed me & pointed me towards the future & said, You've got your work cut out for you & I said, isn't there anything easier? & he laughed & said you could dig around in the past, but it's just busywork & that made perfect sense so I shrugged & started right where I was, along with everyone else"


"Destiny? there's only your time & then there's not your time, she said. All the rest is made up to keep you busy"



"My favorite holidays are Christmas & disco, he said & I said since when is disco a holiday? & he looked at me with more pity than I thought possible"


"When I grow up, I want to remember that I always wanted to be about a thousand different things & one lifetime didn't seem nearly enough. When I grow up, I hope it's at the very end when it doesn't matter anymore anyway"



"this is a yo-yo that teaches everything there is to know about life, but it spins so fast it's all a blur & it takes a long time to figure out that that's exactly what it's trying to teach you"


"I like to write about the stuff going on in my life as long as it's interesting, but otherwise, I'd rather just read."



"off on another adventure of a lifetime & hoping he won't forget halfway through this time"

In the words of Tom Petty...

"The world is coming to an end, and he means that optimistically..."

Amen my Man!

"And, I think it’s really quite the opposite. That when you have a precedent set like that, and you have somebody, George Tenet, acknowledging in his book, that he knew that the Administration was deceiving the American people into a situation that is murdering young men and women from this country and others, that George Tenet and Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice and George Bush et al should be in fucking jail."

~ Sean Penn on Bill Maher

"Winning and Losing thing..."

"This winning and losing thing is where we are behind in our consciousness..."

"Guys who shoot their mouths off and act over confident end up flying onto an aircraft carrier and saying Mission accomplished!"

"I'm a comedian, but in my spare time things bother me!"

~Garry Shandling on "Real Time with Bill Maher"
