My Snakes on a Plane t-shirt arrived. I am embarassed to tell you how happy this makes me.

I hurt the fuck out of myself this morning lifting up my mattress and removing a cat from under it, as they are not supposed to be in my room when I am not here. the whole process scared teh crap out of her though, so maybe she'll stop trying to go under there.

GF and I are going to Candela tonight.

I have decided that even if I can't get the Chihuahua film done in time for Tropfest Tribecca, I'll do it anyway. People seem to like the idea to a degree that even I, the originator of it, find utterly irrational. Hell, I'll just submit it to FlickerFest instead or something.

I was frighteningly productive at work today, but since I 10-key for a living, this means my hands are very sore.

Enjoyed this article on kristen Scott Thomas, as she's someone I get told I look like probably more than any other celebrity (where celebrities are female and living. I get told I look like all sorts of famous, dead and frequently male folks, but while constantly entertaining, it's rarely useful). http://www.smh.com.au/news/film/face-for-elegant-misery/2006/01/08/1136655079500.html

Contact is on HBO right now. I find it to be a terribly upsetting film, not because I am a space nerd, although I am, but because so much of it is about the degree to which the convictions of women are treated as hysteria.

Does anyone ever tell you Oscar Wilde? I don't think you look like him so much as could remind me of him. In a female version.

Constantly, actually, since I was very young (the first person to tell me this was my mother!). I've toyed on and off with writing a one-woman show for myself as him (on his tour of America), which whenver I tell peopel about it, always elicits rabid enthusiasm or abject horror.

I've also been told Billy the Kid, which I don't fnd terribly true, but do find terribly amusing.

Never having seen a picture of BtK, I can't endorse that one, but it is really quite amusing to think about.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to work it into my elevator pitch. "People tell me I seem like the love-child of Billy the Kid and Oscar Wilde. I don't know what it means either, but don't you think you should cast me so we can find out?"
