The word on the street is that a recent teaser for "Distraction" may contain a snippet of my deer-in-headlights stint in game show history. I was on the second-to-last episode, so it may be awhile before any of it comes to light. In that vein, here is a nod to Guy Smiley -- personality, panache, and cuts a sharp figure in a suit. I have been vulnerable to all three. And that fantastic corded 80's mike.
I've been distracted by all kinds of things lately, none of them being zany game show stunts. Yesterday was my first NBA game, Clippers and Sonics at the Staples Center. As if to make up for being inexcusably sheltered, I at least had some great seats just rows off of the floor. It was more like watching a ping pong match close-up than the usual aerial observation crap. But it may have been wasted on me, as I spent more time looking around with slackened eyes, sometimes clapping for Seattle by accident. I became totally alert, though, whenever the Clipper Spirit girls took the floor shaking their tailfeathers. The geometric dance routines, the energy and abandon -- is it too late to abandon law? Well, the Clippers capably won without my ADD-affected partisanship.
Today was the Vietnamese daily double with lunch at Red Moon Cafe and dinner at Hanoi Cafe. Pho-king good, actually. (Yeah, sorry.)
Happy Birthday, Debbie! Eireann go brach! (Apparently, "Ireland forever.")
