whatever...
Paula Poundstone was absolutely wonderful on Friday and I actually got her autograph. I was totally dorky too asking for it, but isn't that why some people want to be famous? I admire her for many things, but I think the most important being that she is who she is. She's upfront about past mistakes and can even laugh about them. She's not afraid to continue to speak about her weaknesses. as I think the pure act of discussing it only makes her a stronger person. I will post some paula pics up soon along with a scan of her autograph...I ended up taking all the pics with my friend's camera as my digital camera is now crap after playing around with hers...same brand but she has a much newer and better version..( as Will Smith would say...mine is the old and busted, her camera is the new hotness.) One weird drawback though was after the set and walking around the hotel trying to find where she was going to sign autographs, I noticed my department was having a party at the hotel after their retreat this week (see previous post)....apparently only the recruiters and counselors get to party. Which frankly I can't blame them after seeing all of the high schoolers and parents they have to deal with. I didn't stick around ... I did discover though that a certain someone had deliberately snubbed me friday evening at Paula's event and I'd like to make it known that it did NOT go unnoticed. All I can say is your loss, and what comes around goes around. Next time just tell the truth. That seems to be too huge of a request of people lately.
Coming up this weekend: my sister's baby shower...(whee and no anxiety there...ppffft almost siad that with a straight face..) the pro's of going home next weekend is the girls get to play all day and wear themselves out along with getting a haircut from Grandpa. (have you seen what it costs to get a dog groomed these days? unbelievable...) I also was informed I got my actual stock certificates (for the piddly amount that I do have) I'm actually pretty excited by that as I've never owned stock before. DivX filed for Public status a couple of months ago which could go a couple of ways. They could get acquisitioned or actually go public. I'm pretty fascinated by the whole process, but could never do it for a living. Money to me is just a means to do what you want. Just acquiring money and doing nothing with it other than to make more doesn't interest me much...eh just like me...and this explains why I'm broke alot...
Anyhoo, in my own small way, Paula I will buy your book and watch your new show....PLEASE work on getting your old stuff on DVD. I think you're great!!!
