Close Encounters of the Seinfeld Kind

About three months ago while in Los Angeles, Jon and I met with an old friend at the Roosevelt to catch up over drinks. Upon leaving, I thought I recognized a familiar face in the lobby. She was an older woman, probably in her late sixties; an actress I’d seen several times before, but I couldn’t place my finger on exactly where. Whereas I’d normally continue on my way unconcerned, something (several vodka sodas) was telling me to get to the bottom of it. I asked my friend if perhaps she recognized the woman, to which she confidently replied, “You’re hurting my arm.”

I decided to get a closer look.

Unfortunately, subtlety is not the art of a drunk. What I thought was merely stealing a couple glances evolved into a Larry David-esque stare down that quickly ended with a distinct look of panic settling across her face. Like any grown man who inadvertently frightens an old woman, I sprinted in the opposite direction and hid behind the largest piece of furniture I could find.

Once the coast was clear, I emerged to show my friends that I had found her on IMDB. Mystery solved! With her headshot plastered on my iPhone, I declared, “I think it’s Grace…”

“WHAT are you doing?!” an exasperated Grace Zabriskie cried over my shoulder.

I turned around to a horrified expression that I’d previously only seen reserved for George Costanza on Seinfeld.

“Yeah, it’s definitely Mrs. Ross!”

Running Joke

I’m such a bad runner, I don’t even know where to begin. So I usually get disqualified.

Discovered what looks like an outline of Frankenstein in the shower today. I also saw an impression of Jesus on my bar of soap, but my iPhone shorted out before I could snap the pic lol…

Lin Manuel Miranda from “In the Heights” came by to star in this Hardly Working with some of “Freestyle Love Supreme.” They don’t give Tony’s away for nothing.

Equal parts hilarious and terrifying, “Frat House” is an HBO documentary by a young Todd Phillips that chronicles some utterly insane fraternities during their pledge season. Made in 1998, it was never released due to a lawsuit from those depicted, but is now available in full online.

I was in Toronto and went to see “Life is Beautiful” by myself. When I came out, I had a craving for blood unlike anything I’d ever experienced since I decided to go vegetarian at the age of 7. I went to several restaurants…and got the biggest, bloodiest steaks I could get my hands on.
Christian Bale, officially scaring the shit out of everyone.
