So mortified went pretty well last night. Pretty, pretty well. And while my diary might not be the funniest, I was definitely given kudos for my delivery. Which made me think- why do I deliver things the way I do? Or anyone for that matter. Hmmm something to think about, if you have a lot of spare time like I do. I think my favorite reader/performer/participant? had to be the guy that addressed every journal entry to Mr. Belvedere. As a special guest they even had the kid from the show come up to read some award winning essay the guy had written when he was a pre-teen wherein he compared his struggles with sports (he wasn't good at them) to those of Helen Keller (she was deaf and blind). Needless to say, it was brilliant and hilarious. My favorite moment was when they announced that the "special guest" was there and I overheard one girl exclaim quietly to a friend "Mr. Belvedere!" Obviously unlike me she didn't do her research on 80's stars who are now dead (I'm talking about you, girl from Savannah Smiles). Anyway back to the kid, aka Wesley, from the show. I just looked at his imdb page and it's not true what they say about child actors not making it as adults. Because in fact just last year he played the role of Mr. Wyler in the feature "Buttf**ker." So take that world! (side note: while I'm sure Mr. Wyler was a meaty role, he did not in fact nab the title role of "Buttf**ker Man")
I feel like this post took a weird turn.
