...and the president pauses and asks his Chief of Staff, "how many is a brazillion?"
(That, by the way, is the punchline of my current favorite joke.)
So I've had about a brazillion things going on lately, none of which make for much time to compose what I deem a literate and cogent blog entry, and isn't that what this blog is for?
Anyway, a few things of note:
1) The Barbes Reading Series continues this Sunday, October 2. Readers include Richard Fulco, Kenny Mann, and some chick named Jess Liese. (I hear she kind of sucks, though.) Anyway, 6 p.m. and there will be free homemade chocolate chip cookies.
2) Cremalita, while marginally less healthy for you, actually tastes better than Tasti D Lite. I was kind of sad to have to admit this, but I can't stay sad when I have a big soft creamy cup of dairyish lowfat frozen dessert in front of me.
3) Serenity NOW! Don't hate me because I get to see Serenity before you do. I'm hitting up a screening tomorrow.
What is Serenity, you may be wondering? Gee, I'm glad you asked. It goes something like this:
Joss Whedon, the Oscar® - and Emmy - nominated writer/director responsible for the worldwide television phenomena of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE, ANGEL and FIREFLY, now applies his trademark compassion and wit to a small band of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future in his feature film directorial debut, Serenity. The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family –squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal.
I've seen a few episodes of Firefly, which was thoroughly entertaining and definitely the best Joss Whedon product I've ever seen. I think this is going to be an excellent film, even if one goes in having never seen the show.
Also, I will confess that I have a bit of a crush on Alan Tudyk and have ever since I saw the otherwise wretched A Knight's Tale.
4) Walking the entire length of Broadway this Saturday with my boyfriend and a motley crew of other folks, including my pal David, co-founder of the twice-yearly Broadway Walk tradition. (Here and here you will find photos from our previous two walks.)

I saw a preview for Serenity last night. They started listing off famous publication titles, and then informed us that these classy pubs had "written about the phenomenon that is Serenity." I laughed out loud. That seemed to me to be a new low in blurbing. What, no random unheard-of radio station touting the movie as the "season's best new sci-fi flick"?
I am so in agreement about Cremalita. I've tried to convert others but nobody has joined my team. They all choose to leave me at Cremalita at Zabars while they head to Tasti-D.
