very true. also lowell weicker. but politians dont count. but i did tell lieberman someone should blow bush so we can impeach him.

laura claps with gusto!!! :D

He actually said that.

I believe you.

:D

Brynn's life sounds really interesting. :D

I forgot to say I sold a butter dish or pasta bowls or something many years ago to David Robinson. He is very, very tall. He was looking at the display things on the tippy top shelf that I used to use a ladder to arrange.

And last year, I rolled my eyes inwardly :rolleyes: as I passed by Tony Parker, who was standing in the largest isle of Target whilst talking SO loudly into his cell phone in French that no one for 80 miles around could fail to notice him. He's shorter than you might expect, and apparently rather more insecure. :p But he is an excellent basketball player, and I hope he is enjoying his honeymoon with no desperate housewife in sight.

the studio where i worked was a frequent recording venue for outkast. andre 3000 wears mesh shirts with nothing underneath on any old day of the week. it's pretty much going shirtless, i don't know why he bothered with the mesh.

usher recorded there a lot, too. he can't get through a session without going out to his car a few times to smoke pot. also, his girlfriend/wife/whatever always walks behind him at all times and only refers to him in the third person. she also doesn't use pronouns when she talks about him, so when giving us his list of requirements instead of saying, "he would like cool bottled water and he would also like these magazines available" she would say "usher would like cool bottled water and usher would also like these magazines available." i never heard him address him or refer to him with anything but the name usher.

so that was weird. also, i spoke about her in the present tense there but this was back in 2003 so who knows if she's even still with him.

Then I haven't met anyone famous.

Olivia Newton-John!!!
This afternoon at this fortnightly lecture afternoon (always taking place at one of the Berlin unis or research institutes) of the research sub-project of the German Research Association that pays me.
Usually it's quite boring, and today I thought it only slighly more interesting (125th anniversary of Max Born's birth), but they indeed have gathered the whole bunch of Born's relatives from around the world and Newton-John is his granddaughter (I haven't known that :o), she gave the last speech, very nice and warmly (although she has never met her grandpa, always postponing the trip as a teenie) but then wanted to get out and meet all her unknown/long-not-seen cousins and grand-cousins, stood next to her for a while at the buffet, she looks very young imo :)

I saw Bjork last week on the corner of Sixth Ave and Houston. It would have been easy to miss her because she was standing with her back to the sidewalk, talking to her driver, but she was wearing some green tights and a silver jacket with lots of reflectors on it, with her hair tied up in buns. It made me happy to see that she was going to go into the deli without any bodyguards.

what filling did she get in hers sandwich?

i didn't stick around that long, but my money is on egg salade

i think potato. on it's own. that' a typical sandwich of the icelands



did she mention me at all or enquire as to my whereabouts? or look worrried/concerned?

She basically had the same expression she always has...somewhere between boredom and profound insight.

Why would she be worried ? Have you not been replying to her emails ?

she always has that expression when she's gagging for a potato sandwich

and no, i have not been answering her emails. in fact the next time you meet her tell her i say "STOP IT with the fvkken presents, bjork, i will NOT sleep with you, y' hear? no more phone calls and mushy demos!!!! and quit clogging up my answering machine with your whining for fvckksake!"
