I'm awake early and feel like rambling on about nothing in particular. So I will.
1. Yesterday, Tatum O'Neil was on Oprah. Tatum O'Neil is a complete lunatic who really shouldn't leave the house unmedicated. Seriously, twitchy, flashing the crazy eyes - I would NOT want to be on the business end of her ire. Another shining example of a child star gone horribly horribly wrong.*
2. Duran Duran have a new album out, featuring the original line up (all three Taylor's present and accounted for!!). I don't know WHY this is as exciting to me as it is, but gosh it really is. Despite the fact that he is so obviously gay, I still really want to meet Nick Rhodes. I just caught them on Regis and Kelly. They're all still just so cute (well, except for Andy - he was always a bit of a barker - did ANYONE fancy him??)...as a result I believe Kelly may have wet herself.*
3. My allergies have been going bezerk lately. The other day at work, suddenly and without warning, [gross] my eye swelled up, and I don't mean the eyelid, I mean the EYE, it was so incredibly gross, it was like my eye was surrounded in gelatinous goo, but it was the surface of my eye [/gross] I've never seen anything like it....since I currently have no insurance, and I could still see, and it didn't *hurt* it was just very itchy, I used some allergy relief eye drops and rode it out. It was perfectly fine the next morning, but since going blind is up there on my list of horrible fears with getting fat, finding a thumb in a can of black beans, and Hillary Duff, it really freaked me out.
4. Out with J. the other night for drinks at Delilah's...discussing his whole new "work is for jerks" philosophy (funny really, coming from the man with 3 jobs) his current plan is to land himself a trust fund brat. As gently as possible I pointed out that he's the guy the trust fund brats have a fling with to piss off their parents but ultimately dump to marry the guy from the country club that her parents approve of (so she gets to keep the trust fund - she's no fool). Later I thought, who am I to piss in his cornflakes like that? Perhaps I'm just bitter because I passed my trophy bride sell-by date YEARS ago...speaking of J. He will be spinning a variety of good tunes tonight at Seanchai - there will be $2 Guinness pints, it'll be a good time. I will be headed over after the Rufus Wainright show...I don't doubt I'll be needing a drink after that.
5. J-Lo was featured on Inside the Actors Studio recently. Did I miss when the show title was changed to Inside the "Actors" Studio? Seriously - is she a real actress now? Has she proven herself to be more than a nice ass and a pretty face? Because if she did, I missed it. I'm not gonna lie, I've seen several of her movies, I'm easily drawn in to a schlocky chick flick, because at heart I'm essentially weak minded and girly, but come ON - does anybody really think of her as a real actress?? I mean, if that's the case I'll just start composing my Oscar acceptance speech right now, because I had no idea I had a shot.
6. Happy Birthday Miss Claudia
*I know, I am watching a horrifying array of morning chat shows. I need a job. I'm working on it.
