married and divorced in one day

went to lost angels this weekend.

the flight down was notable for one thing, which was that the girl who sat next to me had only two carry-on items: a pink purse with a red star, and an oil painting which depicted either two people walking along the seashore. or jesus with a crew cut and jerry garcia in heaven. or maybe it was timothy leary and a shaggy john lennon? it’s hard to tell from the back. and from heaven. are they supposed to have wings? are they supposed to be so bland and two-dimensional? maybe you give up that third dimension for eternal peace.

saturday we thrifted props for hmc’s film of the week. this week’s goal: baby items. literally, part of babies. like different baby arms, different baby legs. it’s funny how people look at at the children’s hospital when you ask them certain questions. actually, we ended up at big lots comparing different size baby dolls, how their arms and legs would look on camera, and how hard it would be to dismember them once we got home. the big score was at the new out of the closet thrift store off of hollywood and western, where we found a baby stroller for $20! this is a lucky find, as goodwill won’t carry strollers due to recalls and liablility, and we had been resigned to buying on at target and trying to return it later.

spottings of the day: lotr and sin city boy elijah wood, who was eating a late lunch with his boyfriend(!), and later, “rocker” dave navarro who looks as girly and fidgety as he did on celebrity poker showdown, but really, where’s carmen? not she’s anything to drool over (plastic and pneumatic), but how often do you get to see a sex symbol and former playmate?

sunday i spent married to someone else. we had a baby with dismembered limbs that turned evil and then drove a wedge between us, breaking up our family.

i guess you can’t have everything.
