I have kind of backed myself into a corner and am trying to figure out what to do, so I’m hoping some advice from y’all might help.

A couple of weeks ago I came here to talk about my cat who was dying of cancer. He died in my arms this morning at the vet. My heart is broken. Here is his picture, I hope. I’ve never tried to upload a picture. Anyway, his name was Fresca, he was almost 16, and I loved him so much.

Cheers!

I got Flowers For No Reason in this lovely vase stemless wineglass.

I refuse to believe any bad words spoken or written about Naomi Watts, but I’ll say this about Schreiber: once, in a late-night fit of celeb-jealousy, I looked up Liev on wikipedia, thinking he must’ve come from some ridiculously privileged background. But it turned out his childhood and teen years were batshit crazy.…

More recent reports indicate that Pitt at least smells good (like sandalwood, I’m told) at awards shows. So Angie’s got him showering a few times a year, anyway.

Johnny Depp seems like he would be quite stinky, too.

Then he made YOU pick up the butt.

Tom Hanks is in fact awesome! I key him on a set when I was an extra as a kid. Super cool, took the time to say hello and chat about nothing.

Wow. He’s a renowned sleeze, but that is beyond the pale.

Most sociopaths are.

Willie Nelson is a very warm, welcoming man. Obama has nerd charm out the yinyang and is very genuine when he shows gratitude to his staff.

That’s too bad because I’m using Amy Poehler for WORST celeb encounters. Hate to burst your bubble but I waited on her once at a restaurant and this little girl came up to ask for an autograph. Amy took her steak knife, plunged it into the girls throat, and then proceeded to cut out her heart and eat it with A1 sauce.…

I don’t have a personal John Waters story, but I live in the ‘burbs outside Baltimore, and our local high school just did a production of the musical “Hairspray”. John Waters came to the show and sat in the audience and mingled with the crowd and the performers, and my 14-year-old daughter stood 3 feet from him and…

I went to see a screening of the second Boondock Saints film (for all its deep and obvious flaws, I have an abiding fondness for the original, entirely because of the gorgeous men and all the homoeroticism) that included a panel discussion with Troy Duffy and a few of the actors afterward. The move was so awful I…

I went to St. Andrews for university, so we had quite a few golf-loving celebs come through, especially during the Dunhill Cup. At one point I went out with a couple of my friends from hall to go watch some of it, and it was just as boring as you’d expect from, y’know, golf. So we’re talking about how boring it is and…

At a Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! NYE show years ago, John Krasinski was drunk af and pushed me out of the way while trying to rush the stage. I fell into my friend as he bulldozed through everyone.

How to make coffee and save the environment at the same time.....

Geez that sounds so familiar.....a specialized device that takes special cartridges that end up costing more than the device they go in......sounds familiar but I can’t for the life of me think of it.....

If you can’t afford to tip appropriately, you can’t afford to eat out.
