I'm back

Yo, dudes and chicks, sorry I haven’t hollered at you in a minute. I’ve been pretty busy. So, yeah, to recap, we went to NYC. We went to Salem, and in the post below you can see why I try to stay out of pictures, Ellen-looking like a motherfucker. I’m getting a haircut on Thursday.

I also put a decent bit of free time into some part-time work grading SAT essays. Keeping your kids out of Harvard like whoa.

Anyway, when I had a minute to look at the internets I’d usually get sucked into a YouTube hole. I’d check a blog, hit a link, then find myself watching 20 Jeopardy clips, followed by a handful of clips from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and not even Regis clips, but the version with that chick, who is decent and much more tolerable, on every level, than Regis. Is that show even still on?

Or, in another case, I read about how Sasha Grey is starring in a new Steve Soderbergh joint, the Girlfriend Experience. Then I found myself watching the old interview she did on the Tyra Banks talk show. Then I watched a bunch of Tyra talk show clips, mostly about racism. By the way, the Tyra/Sasha interview is kind of infuriating, and you can find many better Sasha Grey interviews online.

Sasha Grey fascinates me. She’s pretty unique. I don’t want to get into the whole thing right now. She actually makes me want to get back into freelance journalism. I’d A) like to do a sort of filler fluff softball piece about porn stars appearing in mainstream movies, and B) I’d like to do an in-depth profile/interview piece about her. I need to research both things a little more, to see how overdone those topics are. I’d definitely like to do an interview with her, though. I have about a million questions I’d like to ask her.

Back to Tyra, I love black drag queens. I thought of a great name for a black drag queen: Diversity Weekend. Any of you nubian would-be queens out there can use that if you want. Just invite me to a show.

Wrapping it all up, I think Beyonce got her new name from watching the Sasha Grey interview on the Tyra show. It’s the perfect synergy of those two dynamic personalities.

Jeopardy clips!
