every once in awhile i return to twitter to check the news, or comment on say, the debate. so when i asked a meaningful question to practicing catholics who are pro-choice, how they are able to comingle both in their lives, i was met with a response, "get a grip" by the lady who used to be in that tv show, 24. she's a comedian, and played Keifer's assistant - she always had the serious look on her face while she sat in front of a glowing computer.
this sarcastic response tells ya two things:
-its your fault if you expect anything meaningful from twitter (meaning, it's my fault). Some times you get lucky -- it's how Riley Gale and I became friends, and how was able to engage with people I really admire (like Chilly Gonzales). but for me to expect a serious answer to an honest question is my fault.
and it proves the Scott Adams dictum (is that the right word?)
that you can't expect rational information from artists - a catch-all description for people in entertainment, be they actors, writers etc. But when you run into someone in the entertainment world that has a little background in business or economics or worked in non-entertainment settings for years - you get a fuller, more experienced person who can engage on multiple levels.
that's all!
For those of you who are interested, the owls have returned to last year’s nest. The neighbors are so thrilled!! I’m being a tad sarcastic. I caught one flying to the window box Thursday evening and then to the tree in the video below. They moved all the fake flowers in the window box to make room for the growing family. No eggs yet. Just prep work.
As for my sarcasm, their daughter had to move out of her room last year due to all the owl noise. Her parents were thrilled to have a new roommate. And once the owls left the nest, they left a very disgusting, smelly mess.
