There are things ominously in the works – but what the fuck else is new, I ask you?

It’s funny I do enjoy being transparent here, just cutting through any sort of bullshit and saying “A is A”, but I find, more and more, that I can’t. That’s the nature of business. So I, consequently, find I have less and less to talk about in my own life.

I mean work is work, writing is going along but I can’t discuss most of it now, and past that what do I do? I sit around and read books, watch movies, listen to music and hang out with friends.

The life of excitement.

Yeah, yesterday?

I woke up. Edited a few pages. Hung around on-line a bit. Fielded some calls. Wrote a bit, hung out. Played with the cat. Played with a column, but didn’t get anything really done. Watched some TV. Blasted some Max Roach. Sat on the phone with a friend a bit. I had a toasted bagel for dinner. At 11pm. While watching something on TV that was so unmemorable I couldn’t even tell you what it was. Then I eventually went to bed.

But the fun shit, the stuff I really wish I could talk about, I can’t yet.

I have, also to be noted, been offered my old radio gig back. Now I don’t know if anyone even listens to internet radio anymore. I mean is a talk show worth doing? Do it as a podcast? Even bother? Who knows. But it is fun to have options. It has also made me go back and listen to some of the old shows Ed and I did, and man that guy is funny. I am just the straight man to Ed’s wit. So doing a show without him? Kinda scary.

But I am, at the end of a day, a whore.

This is going nowhere. So instead I give you a bit of celebrity fun. Kathleen Turner wrote an autobio recently and a snip has been published. Regarding Nic Cage:

“He caused so many problems. He was arrested twice for drunk-driving and, I think, once for stealing a dog. He’d come across a Chihuahua he liked and stuck it in his jacket.”

Stealing a dog! I just love that fucking image. Cage, however, then released the following statement:

“I have never been arrested for anything in my life, nor have I stolen a dog. I am reaching out to my fans — many of whom are children — so they know that I do not condone drunk driving or theft. The reason why you’ve never seen a mug shot of me is because it does not exist.”

What kind of life do we give celebs when they have to issue statements confirming that they have never stolen dogs?
