Someone is living my life-WHEW! -It's me!

My friend Robin texted me this evening regarding the latest results of her google ego surf...Yes, we all ego surf. Anyway, a search on Robin's name yeilded me a posting from this blog and HELL, it's been so long since I blogged, that I didn't recognize all of the post and was like: "that sounds like something I did in LA, but I don't remember looking like Janet Jackson...
Then I called her and was like Dude- relax -it's my blog and YES, we did skip out of the Daytime Emmy's Dress Rehearsal that day, and DAMN we had fun!

It got me thinking that I need to keep posting so that I will remember my life better.
Thank you Robin, Ego Surfer!
Now write your damn bio before someone else blogs your life.
Here's a lovely film that I made after many many months of blog boycott...

The Poodle's Manhattan

I'LL TAKE NEW YORK
lyrics by: Tom Waits
Photo by: Jeff Ferzoco

I'll tip the newsboy
I'll get a shine
I'll ride this dream
to the end of the line
I'm goin places
I'll take a ride
Up to the Riverside
I'll take NY
I'll let it happen
I'll pop the cork
tear off the wrappin'
I'll make a splash on the Hudson
that's how I will arrive
Hey, do you have two tens for a five?
Roll out the carpet
Strike up the band
break into the best
champagne when I land
Beat the parade drum
hit all the bars
I want the moon and stars
But I'll take NY
I'll make it happen
Blow out the candlels
tear off the wrappin'
And I know someday
they'll have to name a street after me
right next door to old Franklin D

this is cool

The Krishna's had a point...

mean people suck
mean people are filled with their own shit, I think it actually backs up and makes their complexions go sour

Mean people are mean because they are hiding some insecurity issues.

Pathetic small minded mean people- you suck, try to remember who you wanted to be.

new favorite thing: Amy Winehouse singing, "They try to make me go to rehab, I say no no no."

placebo effect

There's a new Radio Lab available. It tells the story of how the placebo effect works, from shamans to depression to parkinsons disease. Apparently, 25% of the time, the placebo effect works on parkinsons - - it stops their hands from shaking. Someone mapped which part of the brain is "expecting" pain relief from the placebo effect and found it deep in the middle of the brain, making opiates. We make our own morphine when we think we need to.
Lots of other brilliant stuff on the show too.
