random tidbits

i got tickets to BQE to see my darling darling sufjan stevens. can't wait!!!

also, remember this bit of gossip? well we're still not sure whether the other chef knows he's being fired yet so i STILL can't say anything. but my friend is to start his new job next week so hopefully i'll be able to fill people in soon. of course, with my luck, it'll be all over the food blogs before i can write about it...

finally saw transformers and loved it. i definitely should have seen it while it was on the big screen but i had a copy from someone who is in the industry. not bootleg but not quite an official release either.

also re: bootlegs, had a terrible bootleg of superbad that i brought out with me for the weekend. every time the people in the theatre laughed, it sounded like a laugh track. i thought i was safe getting a bootleg of a movie that contained no special effects, i was wrong. horribly wrong.

last night i got a text message from a random number as i was headed to bed: "tina do u still want me to bring this 11inch Black Dick over?" i was exhausted and couldn't think of what the best response to that would have been. any suggestions?

and for some quasi-celebrity gossip...a good friend's boyfriend reported a first hand account of going to a party in l.a., where perez hilton had the brilliant idea to photograph the asshole of everyone in attendance. he suggested it under the guise of a game saying, "oh, then we'll have to guess to whom each asshole belongs! it'll be fun!" and then one by one, each person went into the room with him. some people, the rational ones, would have none of it but were told, "oh, it's a joke, nobody is actually doing it, they're just going into the room and sitting there hoping _______ (insert host, birthday boy, whatever guest of honor) falls for the joke and actually does it." that turned out to be a lie as others reported having actually dropped trou for him. friend's boyfriend was totally weirded out by the whole ordeal. he's a very trusted source who'd have no reason to lie about it though it's a bit uncertain whether bf showed the goods himself.

more importantly, who the hell would let a person who makes a living by putting pictures online, who has a website with some 4 million hits a day, take a picture of their nether regions?! sounds like an ego-filled power play by perez to see how high people go when he says jump. and jump they did. sicko...
