gene wilder used to kick ass.

maybe he still does kick ass. he's on amc right now, in what i think is "sherlock holmes," starring also madelaine kahn and ..crap. what is that other guy's name? the one who played igor in "young frankenstein?" crap. marty something. marty feldman? is that right?
so madelaine kahn and gilda radner (gene wilder's wife who passed away in the early 90s) both passed away from the cancer. they were both on SNL. they were both in movies with gene wilder. coincidence? hmm. is there a "gene wilder" curse in addition to the SNL curse? if belushi, hartman and farley had all been in movies with gene wilder, maybe there would be something to the "wilder curse" theory.
not even a theory, really.
i'm so horribly simple!
on of my surrogate (figuratively, not literally speaking) sisters, emily lein, is getting married on friday, therefore her older sister and my fav chica who has been held captive by boston for many years, amy lein, will be coming to minneapolis in just a short hour and a half...hurrah, hurrah i say! i exclaim!
and i think i can see proof of my aging...(besides the grey strands of hair that i yank out with great haste)
when i was younger, the channel american movie classics played a lot of james cagney, cary grant, jimmy stewart. what's the classic this weekend?
the princess bride.
holy crap.
i have a weird urge to visit minot sometime soon. can't really explain it, as most time i begin to break out in hives and itch when i think about a trip home. maybe it's because i'm sort of unemployed and have WAYYYY too much time on my hands.
i've been working at a temp service and i actual have a great deal to do through monday, so that's good. it's important to pay the mortgage.
also in this gene wilder movie is the fellow who played veruca sault's father in "willy wonka." every minute i watch this movie i increase my six degrees of kevin bacon game knowledge.
my boy dustin has been working on converting his website to flash, and i believe it's functioning at this point, so be sure to check out www.platypusman.com for art, writing, music and a dandy blog called cadaver politik. all your needs will be met.
dust also has a show that will be produced at this summer's fringe festival in mpls., so if you are in the area, be sure to check out the nimbus theatre production of "unemployable." good stuff.
oh, and props to larryville for linking my lil' blog in his uberblog -- larry kicks ass, takes names and puts forth a dedicated blog.
word.
