First Addendum To The Last Thing I Said
First Things First Or Second
Sometimes the universe isn't what you're expecting. In my previous blog article I was doubtful of any relevance to my seeing Sara Gilbert in traffic yesterday, thus altering the 9 out of 10 times equation to 5 out of 10 times (the proportionate number of times I will see a celebrity relevant to something in relation to me versus irrelevant). However, I have reconsidered, and it now appears somewhat obvious. Sara Gilbert is officially a regular on the show, "The Big Bang Theory." Named for one of the very few modern theories on the origin of the universe. So there I am in my blog yesterday, discussing how the theatre had the sound turned off at the beginning of "Green Lantern" while the narrator was explaining the origin of the universe.
What this all means is that certain very excellent people have come through to make me 10 for 10 yesterday with relation to the aforementioned equation, 100% in other words, or to be more precise, two for two.
Starting With John Goodman Leads To Sean Daniel
When I came to California from the East Coast in the early '90s, my first return after not being here since going to CalArts in the '70s, I saw John Goodman within the first week or two. Goodman is brought to mind as he played Sara Gilbert's father in "Roseanne," which is generally regarded as thus far being the height of both of their mainstream popularity (if one wishes to apply an overly conventional perspective). Within the first week or two of being back, I went to the Universal lot to see if, I don't know, perhaps, just walk up to someone I once sort of knew, Sean Daniel. Sean was the first person who had told me of the college I attended in the '70s, CalArts, and also the person I believed (and believe) forwarded my work to his friends Paul McCartney and Steven Spielberg, resulting eventually in "Jurassic Park", though they made whatever I started with their own completely. And also I believe I had many other reasonable and friendly reasons to say hello. Sean wasn't there, but I had no problem getting as far as his receptionist. As I left, the person whose name was indicated with regard to the place next to Sean's, John Goodman, went by on a golf cart. This became the same image you get of John Goodman in a movie released not long after that, "The Flintstones," as cavemen enjoyed a good game of golf. But the interesting part is that later that day, a good twenty or so miles away, Sean Daniel drove by me, and his car did some kind of jerking forward that made his head fling back a little. I later learned, when I went to see "The Flintstones", that John Goodman as Fred does this identical flinging back of the head when his vehicle gets going. I think what I'm saying is, the world has come a long way since the Flintstone period, and yet it hasn't!
