You know what I love??? The Smoothie Sensation System!!! LET ME TELL YOU WHY!!!$#%%&^

You know what I love??? The Smoothie Sensation System!!! LET ME TELL YOU WHY!!!$#%%&^

So Jessie called me this morning saying that she had a job for me that paid $200, but I had to leave immediately. I did because--I don't think I need to tell you--$200 is some good money for a day's work. But what soul-crushing, self-objectifying task did I have to perform to earn such a hefty check?




That's right. I was an actor in a Tony Little infomercial playing The Kid Who Wants to Gain Weight. God help me. I've shamed my family for generations to come...

But if you're curious, stay up late to watch me in "Smoothie Sensation" (a sensation that surely won't sweep the nation).

On the other hand, I met a very nice young lady named Ronna Jones at the shoot. Here is here website. Here is her album on iTunes. Show her some love, if you would.

Watching:
  • Blazing Saddles
  • Bush Family Fortunes: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy (I can tell just from that title that--though I'm sure I share the same politics with the documentarians--I'm going to encounter some poorly constructed arguments in this puppy.)

    Reading:
  • The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay

    Listening to:
  • Illinois, Sufjan Stevens

    PS - I forgot to mention I saw the greatest kid ever on the way to Vegas. He was amongst a van-load of other kids, but he interacted with passing motorists using words he'd scribbled in his notebook such as the tried-and-true "Help!". He also urged motorist to "Honk if UR Hottt!" and "...if U like cheese". The kid's true genius rushed to the fore, however, when we saw this sign: "Honk if U like UR Mom". The kid eagerly watched our eyes, and the instant before we finished reading he whirled around his notebook to chide us for being a collective "Mom Hater!" His parents had better be proud because that kid's freakin' brilliant.

    Oh man...A flamboyant french boy in a hair show AND a 90lb weakling in an infomercial...in one week? This is almost too good to be true! I think my head is going to explode.


    When is the infomercial? I'm going to record it.


    PLEASE tell me Tony Little yells at you!

    Unfortunately I don't know when the informercial will air. I wish I did. In addition, Tony just discusses with me some of the weight gain recipes in his book. Granted it's a very loud conversation...

    So I just got a call for a gig for Tuesday. I'm not supposed to shave the duration between now and the commerical because I'm going to play a rugged soldier of the future. That should make up for the indignities I've had to suffer these recent days. (Although I'd be a liar if I said I didn't enjoy those, too.)
