Random thoughts, sorry....

My favorite cousin just called me.
Me: (picking up) Hey! How are you?
Him: Hold on a sec. (He begins to move into a quiet part of wherever he is calling from. Sounds like a bar.)
Me: Hey, are you in a bar?
Him: What? You're in a bar? You drunkard. I don't want to talk to you. Why the fuck did you call me? (All said in a serious and recriminating tone.)
Me: You called me, man.
Him: I suppose I did.
Me: How the heck are you?
Him: I am done with this fucking place. Hey, why did you call me?
The rest of the conversation gets less amusing and more confusing, so I will end it there.

Related topic: I don't recall blogging about my cousin's wedding (completely different cousin) in San Jose recently, but at any rate, the wedding turned out to be dry. When I told my friends this, they were shocked on my behalf, demanding to know why. I said, "Because it turns out all my cousins have drinking problems." Long pause from whichever friend I am telling the story to. I continue: "And, um, not in a funny way, like the cousins on my mom's side of the family."
So there you go.

Peril of working in the film business: I was at a party this weekend, enjoying my merry little self, when I went to the bathroom to powder my nose, and noticed that the top magazine in the obligatory bathroom stack of magazines has my former boss's face on the front. I pick up the magazine, which evilly flips right open to the article in question, where my former bosses and coworker are in like a full page picture, grinning happily. Then there is a Q&A with my former coworker, with whom I have a complicated history (no, not like that), with him basically extolling his brilliance. FTW.

Buy the new Tiger Army. It is slightly more poppy than I would expect, but in a way that reminds me of very early REM, which is not a bad thing at all. Plus there is a song in Spanish which is quite beautiful. I should figure out what it means.

Hey - thanks for the belated Birthday wishes 
My Iowan Adventure (I like that - I'm going to steal it and use it whenever I tell that story from now on...) was very fun, including the Barbies part. I must say that my time with Barbie was far less risque than yours however. They were nude... but honestly, that's as far as it went. No really, I swear...
