Swine Flu
Mark is in a panic because he can't find Purell anywhere. He's been to half a dozen drug stores in LA and everyone is sold out. I'm going to send him some.
I have a feeling this is going to be like the Bird Flu. I'm not buying into it.
Racing Dreams
I'm hoping to see "Racing Dreams" this weekend, a documentary that just premiered to stellar reviews at the Tribeca Film Festival.
The film follows the lives of three kids—Annabeth (11), Josh (12), and Brandon (13)—as they compete for the World Karting Association's National Championship, which is kind of like a little league version of NASCAR.
The Los Angeles Times said it's not only the best film at the festival this year, but it's the best film of the year so far.
[Racing Dreams] is a tight, fast-paced, engaging film that had people -- myself included -- tapping their feet in the aisles and laughing, smiling, and crying in their seats. Make no mistake about it: This one's an instant classic."— LA Times
During the premiere, the audience apparently gave it a standing ovation that started from the beginning of the credits sequence to the end. Pretty impressive!

20 Times a Lady Director
20 Times a Lady has a director... Mark Mylod, British director of Ali G Indahouse and lead director and co-executive producer of Entourage.
Yeah, baby.
They're changing the name of it to "What's Your Number?" which initially kind of bummed me out about, but now I'm okay with it. I think "20 Times a Lady" sounded too much like a chick-flick anyway and this is going to be a comedy for the masses, not just the ladies! There are some brilliant people involved with this project and I support each and every decision they make.
I'm so excited about everything. Yippie!

Craigslist Killer
So how creepy is it that this guy is... um... cute.
Even if you didn't meet him on Craigslist, but met him in a bar or a coffee shop or someplace else, you'd be like, "Yeah, I met this guy and he's a med student and he's really good-looking..." Educated, clean-cut—he's a total catch. Except he's a murderer.
Be careful, ladies!

Gertie
Bev is so upset.
Mark's dog Gertie runs a nail salon and Bev went there this morning to get her nails done.
Gertie's been taking airbrushing classes and Bev was really excited to get sunshine and daisies painted on her nails to celebrate spring. Gertie said she could do it, but then, when Bev wasn't looking, she painted piggies on her nails instead because she thinks Bev's a piggy.
I sent a text to Mark to tell him what happened and this is what he said:
She's not a hoot. She threatened to have my Beverly arrested if she didn't fork over the dough.
That's not all.
You'd think he'd defend Brisco, but no.
She seriously should change her name to Heather. Or Regina. She's a mean girl.
Where is Chumley when you need him?
UPDATE: Bev found the nail polish remover and has made a mess of the place. There are pink cotton balls everywhere.

Today's exercise motivation...
This one little line from the HufPo article "Willpower Doesn't Exist: The New Way to Get Stuff Done" by Dr. Alex Benzer:
Listen up: willpower does not exist. Never had; never will. There's action, and inaction. That's it."
Remember that Nike campaign, "Just Do It"? As simple as it was, I always found it to be so inspiring.

Grey Gardens on HBO
In case you don't already know, the new Grey Gardens film staring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange is premiering this Saturday evening at 8PM on HBO.
Based on the lives that inspired the documentary, the movie was written, directed, and produced by my friend Michael Sucsy. Michael is actually Mark and David's friend in LA, and he's been working on this project since before I met him, which was in 2004, I think. (He slipped me the tongue the first night we met, but that's a story for another time.)
The film has gotten some great reviews so far (Variety, EW) and Drew and Jessica's performances are supposed to be amazing.
Mark and David are going to the premiere in Los Angeles tomorrow night and I can't wait to get a report. Mark better capture some celebrity sightings for me with his BlackBerry!
Bullet Express
I saw an infomercial last night for the Bullet Express and it was amazing. Basically, you put food in this machine and it shoots it out like one of those automatic tennis ball thingies. But that's not the best part. The best part is the way the people on the commercial "catch" the food. They just hold a pan right up to it and hope the sh*t lands on it somewhere. It's totally gross and makes Americans look like impatient barbarians, like we haven't evolved past being gorillas and NEED. NACHOS. NOW. To hell with waiting for someone to cut vegetables and shred cheese by hand... the Bullet Express can prepare them for you in 15 seconds.
Check it out. The pepperoni pizza they try to make is the best. It's at 1:20 in. And the acting on it is terrible. Just simply awful.
Anywho, it may be bad, but I must say... if the success of the Snuggie taught us anything, it's that a bad infomercial can sometimes be the best thing for your product.
Exercise
So I've been working out for four days in a row now. It's so nice outside... it makes all the difference.
My friend Patty is getting married at the end of May, so I'm using that as goal date. I'm not in the wedding or anything, but I told myself that I can buy a new dress if I lose at least 15 pounds.
Today's motivation: A painting by Lucian Freud
(Btw, the name of it is "Benefits Supervisor Sleeping" and it sold at auction for $33.6 million in May 2008—the highest price paid for a work of art by a living artist.)

Happy Belated Easter
UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM!
Happy belated Easter, everyone!
I colored eggs with Nora and Jack. It was very fun except Jack doesn't get the concept of "gentle" yet, so pretty much every egg was broken. And Nora doesn't get that if you put an egg in the orange cup first and then the blue cup, you're gonna get a really ugly shade of brown.
But whatever, they're kids and they had a great time. It was so funny because when we were done, Nora was so proud of her eggs that she cried when I told her the Easter Bunny was going to come hide them.
"But I don't want him to hide them!" she screamed. "Especially not my purple ones!" And then she grabbed her purple ones and held on to them for about an hour.
Once she put them back with the others and I put all of them in the fridge, she goes, "Good idea—I bet he won't find them if you put them in there."
UPDATE: I just uploaded my pictures.
Just colored:

Old Television Interviews
I'm watching old television interviews that I did when Save Karyn came out and they're so hilarious. I am just not good on television—I don't know when to shut up and just ramble on and on and on. In one, you can so clearly see that the anchor is trying to go to break, but she can't get a word in to do so.
I bought this thing at the Apple store yesterday so I can import them to my computer. I'm going to upload some. They're so funny.
Here's a still from my Today show interview. Right when they went to me, I looked down and totally started checking out Matt Lauer.

I'm a day late with this, but my friend Mary Ann is a producer at the Today show and she just co-wrote a book (with another Today producer) called Today's Moms: Essentials for Surviving Baby's First Year.
They were on the show yesterday and the book is available now, so check it out! Not only do the authors share their experiences with being new parents, but so do Matt, Meredith, Al, Ann, and many others. Mary Ann is a swell chica. (That's her down there on the left.)

Mommy's Best Quality
My sister's mother-in-law is in town visiting. She likes to cook a lot and is always in the kitchen.
Today, right after she made a batch of cookies, Nora looked at her and said, "Granny, you're the best at making things!"
"Why, thank you!" Granny replied. "What's Daddy the best at?"
"Making my bed!" Nora said.
"And what's Mommy the best at?" Granny then asked.
"Turning on the TV!" Nora exclaimed.
Nothing like making her look good in front of the in-laws.
