"I'm Such A Whore"

Contrary to what the title of this post may suggest, I am not referring to myself as a whore. It's from this hilarious blurb I found on page 6:
"January 28, 2007 -- ONE of the biggest disappointments in director Steven Spielberg's life was Alfred Hitchcock's repeated refusal to meet him - but it turns out the Master of Suspense had a bizarre excuse. In his memoir, "Things I've Said, But Proba bly Shouldn't Have," due in May from Wiley, actor Bruce Dern writes that he tried and tried to convince the director of "Psycho" and "The Birds" to say hello to Spielberg, who had just triumphed with "Jaws." "I said, 'You're his idol. He just to sit at your feet for five minutes and chat with you' . . . He said, 'Isn't that the boy who made the fish movie? . . . I could never sit down and talk to him . . . because I look at him and feel like such a whore,' " Dern relates. Completely puzzled, Dern, who appeared in two Hitchcock flicks, finally pinned the director down: "I said, 'Why do you feel Spielberg makes you a whore?' Hitch said, 'Because I'm the voice of the 'Jaws' ride [at Universal Studios]. They paid me a mil lion dollars. And I took it and I did it. I'm such a whore. I can't sit down and talk to the boy who did the fish movie . . . I couldn't even touch his hand." "

That made me giggle so hard, I have no idea why. But see, now you have something to tell your friends and family about teh Jaws ride. The one that's so incredibly lame that even I, the girl who is more skittish than a parakeet, wasn't scared.

I've come to the realization that I'm so insanely busy that I don't have any time to do anything anymore. School and work are taking up my life... I'm trying really hard not to drink as much, because my hangovers have been so intense lately that I feel like my body is quitting on me. I'm actually using one of the Macs in the ecave in the LSC, and I really want one... meh. I'm supposed to be watching, "L'histoire des femmes" for my french film class, but I decided to just Wikipedia it instead.

Not much else to say today, except for this site David sent me:
www.overheardinny.com
It's just a collection of funny quotes from all over NYC. I read, like all 13 pages, it's so hilarious...

"Kid yelling: What are we doing after dinner? [Parents ignore him] What are we doing after dinner?!
Mom, calmly: Stop yelling, or I'll have to kill you.

--10th St, between Broadway & University

Overheard by: Calling the Morgue"

and....

"Chick: Good-bye [departs train].
Guy #1: Good-bye.
Guy #2: Eddie*, your sister is really pretty.
Guy #3: Don't call her that -- 'pretty' is something you say about nice girls, not whores like that.
Eddie: What are you talking about?
Guy #3: Ed, don't take it out on me, but at Dave's birthday party your sister was in the bedroom working for 10 dollars.
Eddie: ... I'm gonna kill Dave. Why didn't you tell me about this?!
Guy #3: Because she was right there! [Silence, then Eddie departs.]
Guy #2: 10 dollars? What's her phone number? I've got 10 dollars.
Guy #3: I know, best 10 bucks I ever spent."

Fantastic.
