celebrity sightings...

now, i've seen a few celebs in philly through the years... whatshisface from "mr. show" at a coffee shop; the drunk guy from "party of five" at the fresh fields by the art museum; the princess bride when she was filming a crappy m. night shyamalan movie that my three-times-a-roommate was working on...

but today? well, let me just preface this by saying that today has been kind of a crappy day, including but not limited to a panic attack in the corner of the office conference room, crying on the steps of the crappy food court at liberty place, and running into stean's best friend on my lunch break. so, i'm coming back to work after lunch, and i get into the elevator at the land title building, and who should also be on the elevator but this guy, from that show "amen!", and as that imdb link shows, he's the boss for the welcome america program, which has its offices on the third floor of this building.

woo-ee!

i dunno.

remember how when i worked at marsh and i couldn't remember if my own boss (whom i saw EVERY DAY) wore glasses or not? and helen and susanna laughed at me for it?

schoss, my brain is seriously a mysterious entity. i should donate it to science after i die. except i don't think they'll know what to do with it, either.

maybe you should ask the guy for an autographed head shot - you know - for your collection.

totally.

mason gamble, peter "chewbacca" mayhew, michael bolton, will farrell, and...

...clifton davis.

i wonder if i just wander down to the 3d floor and into the "welcome america" offices if he's got a stack of head shots just lying around...

you are gathering the world's greatest collection of autographed headshots, my friend.

you might want to donate your brain to science, but you're definitely going to have to donate your collection to the smithsonian!
