My Imaginary 1960's Prom

This photo was taking circa Fall 2005 after my head injury. My ex-roommate did the photo shoot and I look fairly awkward in every photo. The head injury is explained in detail in my friendster blog post: Unattractive Head Injury. I was walking down 3rd Avenue toward St. Marks Place and crashed my forehead into a control box. That takes talent beyond normal clumsiness. It created a hematoma that spouted blood. You can see the bump on the right side of my forehead. I kind of have a scar which will hopefully not impede my impending jump to movie star status.

Back to the present time. I'm sitting in the Valley at my cousin's lovely house, drinking tea with sugar and milk. I'm doing the Breakfast Experiment, so that's all I'm having for breakfast today. More on the Breakfast Experiment at a later date. I'm having a lovely vacation and sadly today is the last day. I have to drive to Long Beach and fly back to Brooklyn today. I can't remember where I work or what my job is, which has never really happened on a vacation before. It's a fabulous feeling. If I remember those details, I think I will go in to work tomorrow.

I've been eating fabulous meals cooked by my cousin's fiancee, who is British, likes the color red and has never cooked my cousin the same meal 2 times. !! I went to a Core Fusion class on Monday in Santa Monica and my butt was in xtreme pain afterwards. Luckily my cousin Ted had Aleve. They also let me use their scotch tape while I was here and may give me a tote bag.

Is it post-modern of me to use photos that are not relevant at all to my blog entry's current news value?

I stared into the eye of a baby whale last week. Camping and whale-petting in San Ignacio Lagoon, Baja Sur, Mexico. Mexico is pretty nasty, but whale-petting is super amazing.

In The Bath

A lady left the box office a voice mail message yesterday. I called her back and she said she couldn't pay for her ticket because she was "in the bath." "Okay, I hope you don't get electrocuted," I replied. She did want me to read her the names and descriptions for the seven speakers for the event. She also wanted me to put her on hold to attempt to approve a free ticket for her 9 year old daughter. It was incredible. She mentioned 3 times that she was in the bath. Next time, I plan to transfer it to my assistant and say: "Paul actually takes all of our phone calls from naked people. I'll transfer you."

Do you ever where skirts and does this happen to you? As I'm walking around the NYC, my skirt often gets completely turned around. How does this happen? And why did it only start happening to me after I moved to this town?
