Not Letting Go Of My Handles On People
(or Nicknames Continued)
I ended my previous blog with an unfortunate choice of words, something about uncorking the blog bottle upon the next occurrence of something exciting happening to me, or something like that (I suppose I could go back and reread it to get the actual wording, but why don't we just move on instead).

As if challenged by my phrasing, as if desirous of being that "outside force" in the (much better) phrase, "a body at rest tends to stay at rest unless disturbed by an outside force," talk show host Jimmy Kimmel drove by me. This was on Saturday, the day immediately following the final "Tonight Show" of talk show host Conan O'Brien, a show which "included" me, as noted in my previous blog. Otherwise, seeing Jimmy K would have just been a "celebrity siting", I don't do those, I mention things I find to be of particular relevance to me (no doubt there are probably many who can't tell the difference). Of additional particular relevance to me is the fact that Kimmel's first show following driving by me (as tonight's a repeat) is his Tuesday night show, when he celebrates his show's seventh anniversary by interviewing Harrison Ford. Those who appreciate that my December 26, 2009 video, "Steven Spielberg And The 'Mall Man' Factor" still bears upon things of this world, including Harrison Ford, even one month later, will see that this Harry F appearance on Mr. K's show falls within the realm of things that particularly concern me, or at least potentially.

Let's also not forget to factor in the fact that H. Ford's latest movie, "Extraordinary Measures," which he is still promoting though they must have wrapped shooting ages ago, costars "Mummy" star Brendan Fraser - "Mummy" producer Sean Daniel is referred to in my December 26th video. And something I neglected to mention in my December 26th video is the fact that, when the third "Mummy" movie came out in 2008, around the same time as the "Indiana Jones" (Harrison F) movie came out, both films had striking similarities to each other: not only had the "Mummy" and "Indiana Jones" franchises previously been compared to each other for their shared style, premise, period, etc.; now, with the near-simultaneous 2008 releases, they both had story lines involving parents joining together with their chip-off-the-old-block son in their adventure. My December 26th video points out the relationship between "Mummy" producer Sean Daniel and "Indiana Jones" director Steven Spielberg, and so Fraser and Ford costarring together might easily be viewed as part of all that stuff.

Where does that leave me? It gives me a little bit of that awkward feeling that it is my world and Jimmy Kimmel just lives in it. And on this grand occasion of his terrific show's seventh anniversary (why don't they give him "The Tonight Show"?).

So here's my thought: Instead of all of these separate energies that make "Solomon babies" of us all (this is not a reference to my December 26th video, it is a reference to the biblical story where King Solomon suggests cutting a baby in half, one for each of the two women claiming to be the true mother, so that the true mother would become apparent by way of suddenly denying her motherhood in order to prevent the cutting in half of the baby), let us come together. Truly there must exist some scenario through which things can stay whole. How about: Sean Daniel producing a movie that both Spielberg and I direct, starring Conan and Jimmy. I can direct the left side of Conan and the right side of Jimmy; Spielberg can direct the leftover parts of them, i.e., the right side of Conan and the left side of Jimmy. These are the precise aspects of these actors that Spielberg and myself are best suited to direct, and so, what could be more whole and perfect. There will be peace, a true peace, and one day, a body at rest will truly get to stay at rest, for even more than a week perhaps. Or maybe I just need a vacation from my day job as a secretary, which pulls me so far from my other role in this world it's a miracle the world hasn't yet manifested visible signs of this conflict.

Fifty Percent
Other than Kimmel on Saturday, I don't know that I have seen any other celebrities of lately, and certainly no one of sufficient relevance as to generate a sense of concern that it might mean something. Possibly George W Bush on Sunday and Eric Slowhand this morning, but, possibly not. I don't feel that there was enough to make it more than a fifty percent chance, not that I should truly feel divided over these differing possibilities, certainly it is of no real concern one way or the other.
