Yeah, yeah, I know. I still have no personal computer access. Give me a break.
So, I did see a fairly well-known celebrity this weekend. Oliver Platt came to Friday's performance of Escape from Bellevue. I think he's friends with the band somehow. I'm not really sure. I know it may seem odd being that I have a pop culture blog and all, but I'm really not that much of a celebrity hound. I really didn't speak much to him, because what could I say anyway? "Hey, I saw you in Flatliners. Are Julia Roberts' teeth really that big? How does it feel to be one degree of separation from Kevin Bacon?" I actually looked him up on the IMDB because he's one of those guys who's been in everything (like Dennis Farina or Joey Pants) but no one can ever remember. So, I discovered that he was on a really old episode of Miami Vice. Probably one of his first gigs. I fully intended to commit the episode title to memory and when he walked in I was going to act all crazy and go, "WOW! You're that guy from that Miami Vice episode! What was it like working with Philip Michael Thomas?" But, I never did. My life is so much funnier in my head.
Anyway, not being a celebrity hound I didn't get an autograph or picture, but here is a picture of Oliver with Chris (lead singer - Knockout Drops), Gordon Gano (Violent Femmes - he also stopped by but I met him already) and Tom (guitarist - Knockout Drops). This is all I have to offer you people right now, so I hope you're all big Oliver Platt or Gordon Gano fans.
I should give credit to the photographer here - Chris Cassidy. One heck of a nice guy who has some cool vids and photos on his page, Casspix.com. Check it out.
Will try to update with more stuff soon. In the meantime, everyone please get together and put a hex on that big doofus, Peyton Manning. The Steelers are playing the Colts next week. Here we go Steelers, here we go (clap clap).....

No? Well I did. It was funny. Well, I thought it was funny anyway.
We've already been over why I can't get all hyped about the Steelers moving on in the playoffs, being a Cowboys fan. I promise not to wish bad thoughts toward the Steelers, how's that. Baby steps!
Then you are a *true blogger,* Becka ; )
Yeah, Platt is great actor but unfortunately he's stuck with being the guy who sweats under pressure (Executive Decision) or the uptight guy who sells out or pisses off the protagonist (Dr. Doolittle or just about every role).
Here's to hoping the Bus goes out in a blaze of glory with four trips to the endzone on their way to the Superbowl!
Love it!
I don't blame you, when I get famous (Hmmm don't I sound pretenious?) I wouldn't want people all hanging over me asking bunches of silly questions.
Good job for playing it cool.
;)
Peace,

My life is like that too...more funny in my head. Oh well.
Can't wait until you have your computer access all the time.

Does it count that I shook Brian Regan's hand at the end of one of his comedy shows on my way out? Is he a celeb? Everyone knows the peanut butter and jelly joke, right?
