green with envy

that little slut. i knew i should've turned my cell phone off when i remembered, except that it would've made a beep and the probability of a phone call in the middle of class was slim to none. of course, i forgot about it. around about 6:00, to my embarassment, the bugger goes off and i must exclaim quiet "sorries" to the library patrons around me. although i kindly whisper, "i'm in the library, hold on, i'm going to the bathroom," she does not wait for me to get there before shouting, "you'll never guess what just happened. i just met matt damon. i just ran right into him on the street!" she gets all the luck. meanwhile, i sit on a tattered bench in the odiforous library restroom salivating with jealousy while she gives me the play by play.

sure, once i met joshua jackson and got my picture made, but he ain't really of oscar-winning caliber, is he? in fact, where is he? where he isn't is filming a movie on my friend's street in d.c., which matt so happens to be. no doubt by the end of taping T and matt will be bff's, in which case i'll be cool by association. in any case, at least now i have a small advantage in the "six degrees of kevin bacon" game because i can link to matt damon through tempe - i haven't worked out how that helps me get to bacon yet, but i'm sure that it does.

in the spirit of the kevin bacon game, can anyone work out a connection, in six links or less, between pauly shore and john laroquette? just curious.

at any rate, congratulations, tempe, you heifer. i don't know how tuesday could surpass monday, but here's hoping it does. by thursday (birthday) you should be the madame to a whole gaggle of hollywood hotties! (also, i'd like to invite you to share your version of the story either in the comments section, or via email to me where i can publish on the main page)
in other exciting news yesterday i finished my cite check, went to book club, and read some evidence. good times.

incidentally, memorizing the cast of JFK will set anyone on the path to mastering the Kevin Bacon Game.
