new favorite NEW show and Seals & Crofts

Oh sweet Moses, it is so hot here. So humid too. But, it sure beats January temps. Now, the various smells that are associated with this type of heat are intriguing and kinda heinous. My scent du jour is BO and garbage. Just think about it (and try not to barf). Imagine..... You're on the street, preferably the newly paved Damen Ave right around Lawrence, in Chicago. You happen to mosey by an alley and that little cross breeze catches the ripe homeless guy lingering near the dumpster, then flows towards you at that right moment. Potent! "Summer breeze..makes me feel fine..flowin' like the jasmine in my mind.." Only in a song is that possible unless, of course, you live in So. California.

I've been summoned back to work on "The Break Up" for a few days next week. It's easy money and the editorial crew is pretty decent. There's alot of attention on this film because of Jen Aniston and the supposed relationship with her co-star, Vince Vaughn. All of the gossip rags are filled with pix of the pair with headlines that scream "is Jen in love??" and "She's finally over Brad!" The thing is..Jen and Vince are in a movie together..they play ex-lovers! The photos are publicity photos FROM THE SET PUBLICIST! Put two and two together it equals co-stars! duh! Also, I was in a store last week and blasting from the cheesy speakers in the ceiling was the DJ creaming over the fact that Jen was spotted walking her dogs. I was worried that this woman was going to die from the excitement of knowing that Jen walks her pooches just like regular folks. It's tough living in a celeb-free zone.

Well, I haven't had the opportunity to watch either "Judging Amy" or "NYPD blue" lately due to teaching and life. But, I do have a new fab fav AND it is a new show. Brat Camp. IT's a great ad for birth control or for those folks who are so anti-adoption. I'm not going to go into it too much, because for those who haven't watched it, you need to check it out. Also, I have two words for you that will hopefully lure you to watch it--Phantom Duker. And, yes, it was said with a straight face.

One more thing, Mr. Vaughn is tall and a little on the doughy side.
