Driven to Distraction

I have dreams and goals and stuff to do around the house. These are the things this week that kept me from getting to any of it.

Star Sightings of Summer

When I first moved to LA, I lived with a friend named Alan who had a very unique, methodical way of cataloguing celebrity sightings. He wanted to know everything; from what they wore, to what they had in their shopping cart, to what they smelled like. There was a whole checklist with categories and subcategories. If you ran into say Marilyn Manson at Bed, Bath and Beyond, like my friend Shane did one time, Alan wanted to know what kind of sheets he was buying and whether or not he smelled like he had just come from El Pollo Loco.

I don’t log my star sightings in as much detail anymore but can still be fun to run into famous person. This summer had a few memorable celeb encounters.

I hobnobbed with Homer Simpson when I visited my local 7-11, which was converted into a Kwik E Mart to promote the release of The Simpsons movie. Homer was nice enough but he seemed a bit plastic.

Even though I’m not a regular viewer, I bought a bunch of Simpsons junk food because I can’t resist a hard sell. My boyfriend John Michael had to explain to me what have of the stuff was and how it figured into the show. I don’t need to know the back-story of the pink donuts to eat about six of them.

I am soooooooooooo jealous! I wish I could have been there. Although, now that I think about it, PD is probably one of the few celebs I would truly get nervous being around. I'd probably faint on-site...
