In a matter regarding one of the top five celebrities in the world, who is also among those many celebrities who have made frequent and prominent use of my material over the years (while forgetting to credit me), we were all recently provided with a very rare television appearance by one of his very close relatives. During the course of this TV appearance, a specific reference was made by this close relative of his to a particular physical location of a particular business establishment during the late 1970s, which also happens to be the identical spot where a woman I once knew was employed during the late 1970s. This same person who I once knew also knew the referred to top five celebrity, prior to being employed on this spot in the late 1970s. “Saturday Night Live”, in their first post-election show this year, chose to make several inside references to things regarding myself in relation to this same woman I once knew. It was far from the first time inside references were made to myself in relation to this woman, one can even find such inside references in the work of the referenced top five celebrity.
This is all I wish to say on this subject, and have only said this much out of respect for the top five celebrity and his very close relative. Based on my extensive experience with such things, this appears to have been this individual’s first attempt at making such an inside reference, and so I acknowledge it. I recognize that the inside reference is buried in deniability, being obscure even for those advanced in reading such indications as I’ve described, but one tends to encounter this precise level of ambiguity in those burying inside references into things for their first time. I now consider the matter close.
In a separate matter, I previously have referred to the show "Monk" making inside references to my material in just about every episode made, and have posted videoclips illustrating many of these on YouTube (where I am Zoomsteinhoff). I have also previously mentioned that in my job I was responsible this month for handling the organizing of a rebroadcast throughout Kaiser Permanente in Southern California that included a special performance by Tony Shaloub, the star of "Monk". Prior to the Tony Shaloub performance I emailed those assigned to assist me at other Kaiser Permanente Southern California locations that we were like an orchestra being led by a train conductor, and that we were a train that would stay on schedule (now and then I provide people with amusement, which is something I've been doing on a volunteer basis since I was little, and so this was meant for amusement purposes). When Tony Shaloub and several others assisting him took their positions onstage, one's initial reaction was that they were musicians performing in an orchestra, as they had things in front of them that looked like music stands for holding written music. Actually these things were there for them to place their pages on for reading, but I stand by my initial reaction as the universal one. Out of all of the presentations that were part of this broadcast, only one presentation was off-schedule: Tony Shaloub's, which ran 30 minutes long.
Though my orchestra schedule remarks may not have had anything to do with what followed, I would nevertheless be remiss not to acknowledge this as a possibility, when one sees my "Monk" videoclips on YouTube alongside my role in this Tony Shaloub performance.
