Gimme-gimme more. Gimme more. Gimme-gimme MORE.
Say what you want about this week’s Britney/VMA/Chris Crocker hubub; her robots can create an insidious brain-worm. Given this particular one is tied to a moment of infamy, I say she’s already made her comeback.
Chicago is…
It’s New York City without the people spitting on you. It’s my new favorite city. We stayed near Rush and State, the center of the hip-and-cool-party-people night-life. The weather was beautiful. Birds were singing, police gave out candy instead of tickets, and pan-handlers smelled like flowers. When we got back, I was ready to pack everything and move up there.
We had a waiter that told racist jokes. We had a cabby that got all scrunchy when we wanted to pay with a credit card. We had a tour guide that took us aside and told us in a hushed voice all the latest hot gossip about Frank Lloyd Wright. Jen-An regaled us with poop stories. Owen didn’t know how to lay on the beach and waste away. He got flustered and had to “do something.” I met some fellow Filmspotters, and ate a Mediterranean mound of chicken wrapped in phyllo. We got in-room massages in which I learned that my hands and forearms are the most intimate places on my body a person can touch.
And we ate Riesens along with lots and lots of other good foods.

There’s a very good reason I’ve never had a foot massage (or pedicure) from anyone I haven’t been seeing…

and even now big, little Michael still eats his first Riesen straight away…

Riesens rock my socks. People say that I’m the only person not of AARP age that loves Riesens as much as I do.
Crump, when the masseuse was doing my hands, it was the only time I felt guilty, like I might be cheating on Jerry…even though Jerry was right next to me getting a massage.

Did you enjoy it while it lasted? I didn’t think it was ready for primetime. Plus, I’m extremely flaky about following up on such things. I was afraid that would be all I wrote.

Yes, I actually did… but being one of the few people who has seen it, makes me feel extra special now…
I had a number of posts where I never pushed that “publish”-button on, but when it’s published then it’s done for me… So, do you publish first and then decide against it?

Sometimes. I usually spend 30 minutes after I publish something editing it. I try to do as much editing before I publish, but sometimes I continue to fiddle with it.
