JUST A FEW

Just a few things have happened since my December 2nd post:

The TV show, "Dirty Sexy Money" has once again incorporated into an episode (12.3.08) my Steinhoff's Dostoyevsky's "Uncle's Dream" from 1990, 1992. It being that my video stars Bill Clayburgh, and "Dirty Sexy Money" stars his daughter, Academy Award-winning actress Jill Clayburgh, you might imagine that I am not unaccustomed to finding my Dostoyevsky in her work:



Another example of "Dirty Sexy Money" crossing paths with my Dostoyevsky can be found in the 10.17.07 episode:



Perhaps it is too much to ask people to further consider that, in order for "Dirty Sexy Money" to make use of my Dostoyevsky as seen in the 12.3.08 episode, the entire multi-episode plot line had to be complicit. I would hate to believe that the announced cancellation of "Dirty Sexy Money" was affected (i.e., ratings were negatively affected) by their interest in using my Dostoyevsky.

Many others have also made reference to this video of mine, whole movies, in fact, may never have been made. Go to YouTube and look for Zoomsteinhoff's (me) "Monk" clips, and you will find references to it that I've noted on that show going back several years. Even Paul McCartney in collaboration with Elvis Costello has found it useful.

I saw a line surface on the recent "24" that I believe may have originated with a recent statement I made. Donald Sutherland, who also stars on "Dirty Sexy Money", is of course the father of Kiefer Sutherland. Over the years I have occasionally seen indications of my influence on the show "24", and other Kiefer Sutherland product.

Regarding "Saturday Night Live", I have written only a few things this season specifically intended for them, and have watched those things lead to a substantial amount of presidential election water cooler conversation (to say the least), via channels other than SNL. Prior to the days when I would write things intended for SNL, SNL would nevertheless find out things going on in my life and work stuff into sketches that same week (I have been secretly super - important most of my life). They have reverted back to this in the absence of my writing things intended for them. I would hope that they appreciate the fact, as they have never literally used one of my sketch ideas, but instead have extracted things for use that same week, consistently almost every week for three years, that however one might characterize our "relationship", it has not been fulfilling for me as a writer. It has, however, been helpful in that it has motivated me to write a certain type of material, which in a few instances has even led to my creating videos from that material.

One last thing since my December 2nd post: I've been occasionally seeing people in traffic who may or may not be Sarah Silverman, to whom I referred in my previous post. Then again, people laughed at all of my Lennon sitings which occurred for five years after his death, preceding the ever-popular Elvis sitings others have made. A person such as myself is a likely target for people who are prone, out of boredom, to hire look-alikes, and so I do not retract my Lennon sitings. I've never asserted that they meant anything beyond the idea that I was being descended upon by look-alikes. As for Sarah Silverman, I should perhaps mention that I stopped watching her show after she did the episode condemning pot. Mind if I promote the idea that anyone who touches alcohol be incarcerated?
