Ari is the best husband ever.

Okay, so it's occured to me, after a few drinks, that El Jay? A lot like Hollywood and the entertainment industry. Just on a different scale.

You've got your writers/actors, your beta/managers, you've got rec people/agents and artist/directors and you know, like fucking everybody. Everybody helps the industry run, from the extras and grips to the 20 million dollar divas. You've got action stars and porn stars and comedians and dramatic queens. You've got jack-of-all-trades. Hell, you've got like tiers, and activists and shit too. Which then begs the question, in Tinsel Town and all it's satillite areas, New York City theatre, London chic, Bollywood hotties, who the hell are you?

I think I'm like Samuel L. Jackson, the ex-crackhead who just appeared out of nowhere, and then was in every goddamn thing known to man, and you're like, WTF? Snakes on a Plane?! Not always good, not always great, but definitely entertaining in that, "Oh, well, it's just Sam" way.

I reckon this prolly works in the music industry too, but they have bands and stuff, and no one person is a band. You can get your OTP to be a duet, but no man is a band.

John Donne is totally spinning in his grave. Rock.


Tomorrow, I'll do the one with the made up titles. Mebbe. I need another drink.

Hmm... I'm that girl who acts in independent films and does pretty well, but I can usually be found at parties telling people about this incredible script I read that they have to read, or this talented actor they've never heard of, and "hey, did I tell you about the best makeup artist I ever had, because you need them for the production that's starting in three weeks?" People like my acting all right, but they remember me because I told them about the best damn lighting person in the biz, that script that made them so much money that they're pimpin' it like P Diddy, and the location that ended up having exactly what they wanted.

Parker Posey! No, I don't like her, and I like you. Although she did date Ryan Adams. Also, you are totally the person that makes the world go round, because you're a wheeler-dealer. You're like Harvey Weinstein! Only, you know, not.

Hee! Sarah Polley? Or, hmm, maybe more like Maggie Gyllenhaal before she did Mona Lisa Smile?

Although, I'm not against being the female, fandom version of Harvey Weinstein. Not a bad job if you can get it. ;)

Also, wait, did he really wear the hat in your icon? Please tell me that's Photoshop.

I wish I could tell you that wasn't his hat, but MR really is that dorky.
