The rest is just gravy
Crazy people we love
I don’t really like to diss any of the dems, but I did have to chortle a bit when I heard Hilary do her “Daisy Mae meets Rex Harrison” on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. So if you’re the 99th person out of 100 who hasn’t heard this, just sit back and listen to the soothing Southern drawl of Sen. Clinton.
[I think the Daisy Mae thing is mean. She’s more like Rosiland Russell visiting Peckerwood in Auntie Mame.]
Once again, I think I’m learning about the silly, hip web site late, but I thought I’d share it just the same. This morning Susan linked to Overheard in New York from the Title of Show blog. I’ve lost the last hour just hitting random quotes and I’m sure I’ll keep going. Some of my favorites so far:
Hipster: Aren’t you some kind of traitor? You’re going to film grad school, and you saw Click on opening night? –Mondo Kim’s, St. Mark’s Place
Professor guy: Okay everyone, I will see you in 3 weeks. Have a good Thanksgiving!
Girl #1: 3 weeks, that’s awesome!
Girl #2: I know…3 weeks, that’s like a month!!
Girl #1: Literally. –Meyer Hall, Washington Place
Overheard by: piecesWoman #1: Wow, everyone is wearing their iPod. I only wear mine to the gym.
Woman #2: Well, if you have a commute, it is good to take it with you.
Woman #1: Really, so it works underground?
Woman #2: Yea, it even works when you are wearing green.
Woman #1: Fuck you. –43rd & 5th
Overheard by: daveA girl and guy are making out on the street. Guy: I gotta go.
Girl: Wait, come back.

Girl: What’s your name?
Guy: Bill.
Girl: How can I get in touch with you?
Guy: Google it. –11th Street & 3rd Avenue
Overheard by: Tibbie XTween chick #1: So when we went to Canada, we had deer.
Tween chick #2: Really? Doesn’t it have a special name too?
Tween chick #1: Yeah. Verizon, like the phones. –M14 bus

Just came home from seeing The Science of Sleep at the Coolidge, which I really dug. Then I saw this scrumptious YouTube vid posted by Susan on the [title of show] blog. Now I think it’s time for bed. What do you think I’ll be dreaming about tonight?
I’m shocked. Yesterday I received email confirmation from the domestic goddess herself that The Style Network declined last month to renew The Brini Maxwell Show. Well, if you ever needed proof that ([style] != [taste]), there you have it.
But on the positive front, Brini has a new weekly video podcast! I’ve already been subscribing to her popular weekly NPR audio podcast since the very beginning, but this is so well timed that I’m now positive Brini is my feminine alter ego. I just got a beautiful lime green Creative Zen Vision: M for my birthday and so now I can enjoy Brini on the subway or wherever I am! And it looks like she’s going to be showing clips from her original cable access show which is even more exciting. She actually gets a little naughty and sardonic. Is there anything this lady doesn’t do well?!
