Random Thoughts and Questions a.k.a. Larry King Friday

In the last two weeks, I've worked a total of one day. So it's hard for me to really offer the Temp Diaries in its truest sense. I have no bosses to make fun of. Nor can I chronicle conversations about making rezzies, doing drinks or other inanities that pervade Hollywood. So I spend a lot of time in my own thoughts...well...that and playing video games.

This is the best I can come up with. Clearly I need a job. But I'm in good company as the national unemployment rate hit a 25-year high.


--Is it better to have worked and lost than to have never worked at all?

--How does Sherri Shepherd, a person who thinks the world might be flat, get a second TV show?!

--If all newspapers follow the lead of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and are only available on line, what will we read on the toilet?

--Who's more clueless, SAG leadership or NBC management?

--Is breakfast the most important meal of the day no matter when you eat it?

--Who paid for the construction, upkeep and utilities at the Superfriends' Hall of Justice?

--Do dogs have aspirations?

--Manny Ramirez just signed a new contract with the LA Dodgers that will pay $25 million for the 2009 season. This means he'll make more by noon today ($34,246.57) than I made all last year ($20,711.88).

--If you had a chance to kick one of the following in the groin, who would it be: Dick Cheney, George W. Bush or Ann Coulter?

--Who would said kick hurt the most?

--If a double negative is a positive, why isn't a double positive a negative?

--Is it scummy or just shameless for the former head of a major studio's Writers Program to take the list of rejected candidates and invite them to pay $295 for a Writers workshop he runs?

It is not better to have worked and lost. I worked and shared witticisms with A-list media folk over drinks -- *clink* And now I have just the one glass in the dark while reloading my e-mail page every 4 minutes.

It is KIND of heartening to know that we're not alone in our unemployment, but it sucks to run into people who do have jobs, and are total morons. Like everyone at NBC. One day, temp. One day.

--Is it better to have worked and lost than to have never worked at all?

Answer: Yes because then you can collect unemployment

--How does Sherri Shepherd, a person who thinks the world might be flat, get a second TV show?!

Answer: 1) Her comment was taken out of context. Pull up the whole conversation and you would realize that they were speaking about perceptions and if seeing is believing not whether the Earth was actually flat. 2)Whoever said a talent for acting and IQ went hand and hand. Talk to a few and you quickly learn how separate they are.

--If all newspapers follow the lead of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and are only available on line, what will we read on the toilet?

Answer: Well duh on our brand new Kindle 2 which retails for $395 on Amazon

--Who's more clueless, SAG leadership or NBC management?

Answer: SAG at least NBC is making money while they self-destruct.

--Is breakfast the most important meal of the day no matter when you eat it?

Answer: If you don't eat it at Breakfast then it's not breakfast therefore not the most important.

--Who paid for the construction, upkeep and utilities at the Superfriends' Hall of Justice?

Answer:Well duh Wendy Harris & Marvin White's parents. Why else would the Superfriends let those two dork teenagers and their dumb dog hang with them when they didn't have any powers if the parents weren't sliding cash under the table.

--Do dogs have aspirations?

Answer: I'm guessing if we are talking about Temp X dog the answer is no because he has yet to runaway

--Manny Ramirez just signed a new contract with the LA Dodgers that will pay $25 million for the 2009 season. This means he'll make more by noon today ($34,246.57) than I made all last year ($20,711.88).

Answer: Let's rob Manny

--If you had a chance to kick one of the following in the groin, who would it be: Dick Cheney, George W. Bush or Ann Coulter?

Answer: Not interested in kicking any of them if I am allowed to do it to one person I'm thinking I'm going for the retard boss that makes my life miserable.

--Who would said kick hurt the most?

Answer: No one because if I am kicking no one is speaking afterward

--If a double negative is a positive, why isn't a double positive a negative?

Answer: Nope a Negative is the recessive trait in both grammar & math

--Is it scummy or just shameless for the former head of a major studio's Writers Program to take the list of rejected candidates and invite them to pay $295 for a Writers workshop he runs?

Answer: About as scummy and shameless as casting people, agents, and managers are with their quote workshops for actors. Face it you aspire to work in cesspool. Accept it and move on.

Let's rob Manny. Too funny. As for the last one, really scummy, but they probably don't even realize it. They probably think they're doing you a favor.
