craft services crap

Well, Amy didn't marry what's-his-name because he's a bully and a control freak. She's recovering nicely, however, by dating this other lawyer played by squeaky-voiced, Adrian Pasdar. To make things more wacky, Lauren (Amy's tv daughter) is dating his son. Of course, Lauren (who has this annoying way of speaking..kinda halting and infantile), is absolutely, like, sooo embarrassed by this new development. She wants her own line because Maxine has a new beau, played by Cheech Marin. You read it right. The man partially responsible for Sister Mary Elephant ('hangin' out in front of the drugstore') and 'Beaners' is the latest of suitors to Cagney or Lacey..I forget which one she played. He's a landscape artist who Maxine has hired to help with her garden. This whole scenario is just filled with double entendres...he's 'bringing her garden back to life' which, as we all know, bring her back to life after the whole Jared Duff dirt nap storyline. Oh, and Maxine's son, Peter (marcus giamatti), is playing in a country AND western band with a hot lead singer. Amy and Adrian-whosy-watts AND Maxine and Ignacio (cheech--a real stretch there with the name) all did the line dance thing at the country AND western bar even though they bitched and moaned about it. But, the sexual tension..oh my gosh..was palpable. More soon...

The semester/quarter is over..thank Jah. I'm so burned out with the whole teaching thing it's kinda scary. It's not the actual teaching..it's the not-having-a-fulltime-gig that puts me in a pissfilled mood. To quote the Bard (badly I might add), I am made of sterner stuff, but this spring quarter/semester almost turned me into a meth addict. The politics at both of these schools are just ludicrous. My supervisor has promised to look into why i'm not teaching there in the fall. I told him not to break a sweat over it, but thanks anyways.

They're filming a Will Ferrell film in Chicago and according to the press, you'd think it was the second coming. Please. But, what should i expect from a town where the newscasters are considered major celebs? Yep. even this weeny club owner, Billy Dec, is considered a celeb because he has a club or two (with money put up by his poppa i believe), wears a baseball cap ALL THE TIME, plays the bongos and is 'Friends' with David Schwimmer (who doesn't look you when the eye when he meets and talks to you). Every move this Dec character makes is catalogued by the Trib's Terry Armour. I like Terry..he's great, but get some new material. Mr. Dec is jut not that interesting. I do miss LA for many things..but superficially for the celeb factor. Oh, and Will Ferrell movie had a crappy craft services table. i do feel sorry for that crew for that reason.
