December 2, 2005
I went out last night for a birthday party, Shecky (beloved staffer) hit the big 50...I had a darn good time. I wasn't sure I wanted to go, I always put myself through this whole mental dance of why I shouldn't do something, then I say 'F it' and I always end up enjoying myself. Such is life.
Hey, did you catch Late Show last night? Oprah was on, it was a good one! Oprah's The Color Purple had its opening night last night as well. Here's a blurry photo of the red-carpert action (taken from my office):

Yesterday I named two of Bob's People of the Week, with a promise to name a third today. I'm a man of my word...Flashback to Monday, I woke up late, got to the bus late but my 'late' is still early enough for me to get to work on time, unless there's a traffic delay or something wrong with the subway. Well, you guessed it, the bus got stuck in traffic and I was going to be late! If I'm late, that means there's a staff of writers that don't know what to work on, not good. I called my boss, got the assignment, and started to call them from my cell. But soon in to this process, I started to realize that there's no way everyone will check their voice mail but I kept calling. My second to last call, I got hold of Jeremy (writer/friend) and he offered to help me out by giving everyone a memo. I thought this was very cool! They got the assignment, I was 20 minutes late but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Thanks Jeremy, you're my #3 Person of the Week:

#3 Person of the Week
In other news, I'll be so glad when 2005 is behind us. Not that I had a bad year, not at all...I have a wall calendar in my kitchen, I usually get a calendar of fine art photos or kitties but this year, I opted for the Metallica calendar. It was fun for the first 3 months but there's only so many photos of grown men sneering to the camera, playing their instruments, I can take! Yesterday was December 1st, I flip the page and for the whole month of December I have to see this:
Lars
What's the point of that?! They're sneering all the way to the bank and I get frightened every-time I have to check a date. 2006, I think I'll buy a calendar of hot babes. You can never go wrong with hot babes.
Program note: I'm taking a week off -- I'll be back on the 12th.
Have a good one!
Best,
Bob
