It's Wally Wednesday! Here's the little guy exhausted at the end of his day at the beach.


I was driving behind a car on my way to work yesterday, and the vanity plate read “FISTER.” I really really hope that meant something other than the obvious. I also wish I had had my camera on me.

It was sad news yesterday in the passing of Tom Poston. If you don’t know him by name, you know him as the comic actor who often played a lovable clueless guy in shows such as Newhart and Mork and Mindy. Though Poston was 85 at the time of his death, it seems like he was one of those characters who would just always be there. He is survived by his wife, actress Suzanne Pleshette.

Monday was the first day back to work after our wrap party. Rather, the Post department had to go back to work. Everyone else was finished. At any rate, one of the lower level producers who runs my department came in with tales of how drunk she was at the party and how she had to spend the last hour of it in the bathroom puking. After many stories of stupid things she did while under the influence, she got to a part where she said she wanted to go out on the dance floor and grabbed two of her friends who are lesbians. She thought she would try to set one of them up with one of the crew, who she named, following the name with, “Who is totally openly gay, of course.” Silence. Everyone stared at her. None of US knew said crew member was gay. Bravo! She publicly outed someone on accident! She then said, “Ok…so let’s just keep this between the 12 of us.”

The song of the day is “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley off his 1987 album Whenever You Need Somebody. Astley was known as “the little man with the big voice.” Many people, before seeing him, actually thought he was black. If Astley were 25 today, he would be the perfect candidate for American Idol. Clean cut, good voice, and rather bland but listenable.
