I'm surprised I don't know more famous people. Or really, any famous people. I just watched this movie. Well, not so much watched as skimmed through on fast forward. The actor who plays "Michael" in that movie is a guy I know from North Occidental. I was in a play with him, actually.

At the time there were a handful of creative types about whom various expectations of success and fame were purported. Now one expects some hits and some misses. But all misses and no hits? That comes as a bit of shock to the version of me from ten years ago that still dwells unaltered in the medial temporal lobe of my brain.

You know, it's strange to look around in there--in the MTL. There's all these other versions of me in there, each with a different view of the mirco-social world.
