lightkeeper under the blanket

Wednesday, June 22

the guy who's staying with the girl who's staying with the people across the hall from me is a chef. he claims he once cooked with masaharu morimoto and can get me alton brown's cell phone number.

if i were some kind of initiate going through a trial, that last thing would be the ultimate temptation.

but this guy etc. etc. says alton's wife is hot. hmmm.

anyway, not much else. doing german, avoiding thinking further than 24 hours into the future...screening my calls and drifing between home and elsewhere.....

  • what would you say to alton brown? I would be afraid to call his cell phone and disturb him. You should see if this guy can have you meet him instead...and then you can PRETEND you got the cellphone number later and call him up to say, "you are the ___est man alive!" etc.

  • Or do like that woman who was on This American Life. She really liked a book, and thought the author was attractive in his photo, so she wrote him a letter pretending she'd met him in an airport and later realized who he was. He contacted her, saying he remembered it happening, which took her somewhat by surprise. They eventually met up, and she realized she didn't like him, but he continued to insist that they'd met, right up until the point where she told him what she'd done.

  • i know you guys are going to be like "i thought you escaped your faux-goth leanings" but...there's a cure song about these very sorts of tactics. in it, a girl writes to robert smith (it seems pretty autobiographical) and tells him how much she loves him and they meet and it's perfect and then she realizes it was just a fantasy and she doesn't really love him.

  • so, instead you could bipass a couple steps and just ask this kid to invite you to some Food Network gettogether or something, right? and then you could be like, "Wow, alton brown, you're a jerk in real life...I am glad I never wrote to you and pretended we met and saved the time by meeting you in person"...either that or you wouldn't be able to talk at all, what with your chivalrous love booming in your throat.

  • i guess my point in the first place is that i thought that kid was full of shit for saying he hung out with famous people, but anytime i think of alton i get all distracted...
