Category: Flotsam and Jetsam

It all started with this entry and, of course, its accompanying haiku.Then tonight, I was watching Saturday Night Live and there was a skit about a group of friends who keep getting together for a series of funerals as they each die in various ways. In one part Amy Poehler turned to her boyfriend in the skit and said “Oh, Heath!” In the next part when they’re all at his funeral she explains “we were making love and he had a stroke.”
Coincidence? I think not! Amy Poehler totally wants me.
In other conspiracy news, when we were finished watching “Threshold” tonight I proclaimed “Alien conspiracy? Alright. Alien audio signal able to alter human DNA? Alright. Last minute plane ticket which was transferrable? I don’t think so!”

Adding my comments to the post started here

I came up with something the other day that I was quite proud of. I was thinking about my creative pursuits and how much they are a part of me. How much I enjoy doing work related to music, acting and such. Then it dawned on me: You know if you are in your perfect occupation if you enjoy working as much as you enjoy not working.
For example my job is great as far as jobs go, but I still prefer being home and goofing off, watching movies or doing any of the cornucopia of leisure activities I enjoy. However I do enjoy my creative pursuits just as much as I enjoy doing nothing. Even if I was infinitely wealthy I would still be pursuing the music, acting, writing, film making etc.
I figure maybe .0001% probably fall into this category. I wish you all luck in finding that job which you enjoy doing as much as you enjoy not doing.

Conversation from work today:
I was joking with a co-worker who used to be the only woman on our particular team before she moved to another project and she was saying that it was good we just hired another female tester to keep the female representation on our team.
Me:
“Yeah since we lost you it’s just been way too testosterone-y over there. Hmm, that sounds like a new product from Chef Boyardee. Testosteroni!”
Another co-worker:
“Now with 25% more BEEF!”

It’s sick…
I’m addicted.

I always get a kick out of these.

If you look at the comments for this entry, you will notice a comment by “Just Me”. I have no idea if this comment is just spam that got really lucky by hitting a blog where this is totally a feasible comment, or if it’s someone who actually left a real comment that’s just ambiguous enough to possibly be spam.
We all know I’m an actor, and more specifically have experience in voice acting in particular. I traced the IP and it seems to trace back to Disneyland which leads me t believe it’s spam, because while I know some people in L.A., I don’t know of anyone who works at Disneyland. I’m very puzzled. The link leads to a job at Disneyland which sounds really cool, and yet it says “apply in person” which just isn’t possible, I’m afraid. The comment says “I know you have a gret (sic) job…” which is also true, and yet is just generic enough to easily be used in mass spammings.
I could try and email the person, but…well, I’m hesitant for no particular reason. The anonymity of the person also makes me suspect, as if it were someone who even vaguely knows me, why would they simply sign “just me” and yet leave an email address?
If it is spam, it is the most interesting and intriguing piece I’ve ever received.

We were out celebrating a friend’s birthday when I heard one of the funniest kid-related stories ever. It probably will not translate as well in text form since the delivery of the story is what really sold it, but I have to relate it anyway.

Using the link Annika posted, I played around with transforming my face. These two were my favorite:
Monkey Heath!

Old Heath is kinda creepy
