I joined JDate again.
It's like some drug I just can't kick. There's just this terrible pull that brings me back there. Maybe it's the fact that Aaron met Nicole there, or that other people I know have met their significant others on the site. Granted, I have met some very nice guys (the very sweet yet boring G, amongst others). But I've also met some incredible douchebags. I guess, if nothing else, it will provide fodder for this blog.
Seriously. Lord give me strength.

Om?
Russell Simmons was just doing some yoga stretches outside of my apartment, after stepping out of a giant stretch limo with a model and two little girls who I assume are his kids. What do you think that means?

Stalking the WGA Picket Line
Did I hit a new low today?
Let me just start by saying that I'm in full support of the Writers' strike. They do the work, they deserved to be paid. Seems to be common sense.
This morning I noticed that they had set up a picket line outside of the Time Warner Center. I went over to show my support. I don't really know how much I can do, so I took a flier (which is prominently displayed at my desk).
Being the celeb lover that I am, I knew that the glorious Tina Fey and several SNL castmembers had been picketing at 30 Rock earlier in the week, so I figured I might get some cool sightings on the line by me. After our meeting this morning, Kim and I went for coffee, and since she needed to check in on Williams-Sonoma, we decided to just peak at who was walking the line.
The first person to catch my eye was Tim Robbins. I recognized a few writers, a few character actors. I told Kim that I felt kind of bad just standing there and gawking, so we decided to head back up to the office.
And then I saw him.
Green jacket, shades, general hotness. It was the man of my dreams. It was David Duchovny.
Of course, all else sort of disappeared at that moment. Well, other than an intense desire to jump him. Thing is, it's not like I haven't seen him before. But the combination that he was A) supporting the cause B) Right near my office and C) Hot...well, this was just all too overwhelming. Needless to say I spent the next couple of hours feeling slightly hot and bothered.
Here's where I hit my low. I decided to return to the the line and stalk him. I mean, what's wrong with me? Here are these people marching for a real purpose, and all I want to do is drool over Mulder. I got mine when I walked back over there and he had gone. So I stood there, and stalked other celebs. There was Oliver Platt, and Seth Meyers and Fred Armisen (who I sat behind when I saw "King Kong" in the theater a couple of years ago).
Listen, there are definitely worse things I could have done. I mean, it's not like I bothered them. And like I said, I fully support them. I think they know people are going to stop and look. But I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to the fine folks of the WGA and SAG, and tell them that my staring at them is only with the best of intentions. (And in the future, please understand that if the deliciousness that is Duchovny is on your line, I will most likely be there again).
*UPDATE*
In reading some articles about the celebs who were on the line, I discovered that not only were they blessed with Duchovny, but Christopher Meloni and his Ass of Life also walked the line. Had I seen these two men in the same space at one time, I am fairly sure my head would have exploded.

Judah Friedlander Thinks I'm Awesome
After posting a nice long diatribe about how New Yorkers leave celebrites alone, what do I go ahead and do on Saturday night? I get in the face of a celebrity. I am incredibly proud of myself.
I met up with Jamie, Melissa, and Jodi for some drinks on Saturday night near my apartment. I had a couple, and as I was staggering home, I noticed Judah Friedlander, the World Champion, standing in front of a comedy club near my place. I actually really like him-let's be honest, anyone who was in "American Splendor" and is on "30 Rock" can't be all that bad. So because I'd had a couple of Hoegaardens, I figured hey, Abby should see a picture of someone from "30 Rock" and I whip out my cellphone camera. In the back of my mind, Sober Jen told me to put my camera away, but Nicely Toasted Jen seemed to win out. He saw me taking the pic, and here was his reaction, luckily:
He did say hello to me, and I went a little batshit and started telling him how much I loved "30 Rock" (which I do). I then said "You're awesome!" He looked me straight in the eyes and said, totally deadpan, "No. YOU'RE awesome." You know, I kind of fell in love with him at that moment.
So it seems that I will harrass a celeb under the right circumstances. Those circumstances include but are not limited to being drunk with your friends. Sometimes I'm just really proud of myself.

I'M HUGE!!
So here's how my week has gone.
-July 25, 2008-The release date for the new X-Files movie.
http://www.killermovies.com/x/xfiles2/news/705_The_X_Files_2_Going_For_July_25_2008_Release.html
-Joel Hodgson has announced that he and several of the MST3K founding fathers (including the most cuddly TV's Frank) are starting a new venture called "Cinematic Titanic."
http://www.cinematictitanic.com/
-Bob Odenkirk and David Cross have apparently submitted scripts-yes, more than one-to HBO.
http://www.bobanddavid.com/2007/10/bob_was_here_and_now_everythin.html#more
Basically, it's been this geek's dream week. I'm off to eat another Reese's Peanut Butter cup in celebration.
*And in a happy post-script to my last entry, Jen and all of my San Diego friends are safe and sound. So I should probably eat yet another Reese's to celebrate that as well.*
