Don't ever grow up to be a publicist, ever
****DEVELOPING****
Every year the Scripps Howard News Service does a poll of celebrities on who will win the super bowl, why that team will win, and what the final score will be.
Each staffer is given a list of names with contact information. Mine were John Ratzenberger, Pam Shriver (tennis star and wife of George Lazenby, who played James Bond in "In her Majesty's secret service), Charlie Sheen, and Jeb Bush.
I've already gotten answers from Charlie Sheen and Jeb Bush, through publicists.
I just got a call from John Ratzenberger's publicist, and he's working on getting the information for me.
But what's more interesting is what else he wanted to tell me about: the "Girl's Gone Wild Halftime Show." Apperently since this year's show is expected to so "G-rated" the people at GGW decided to have a pay-per-view show during the superbowl halftime, with plenty of "wardrobe malfunctions."
He was pitching a story to me. And he said all this with a solid, collected voice that made me very, very uncomfortable.
To get him to shut up, I told him to email some info on it to me. I just hope to God that pictures aren't included.
****Update****
I left the office around 5 or so, and was fortunate not to have recieved any further correspondence from the creepy publicist. Thus begins the weekend, and here's hoping it is a good one.

I just read your entire blog--backward. Good times. It's a gray Saturday here, and I figured I had some vicarious living to do. Sounds as if you are having a grand time. At least you know how to write it grand!
Hey, can I use your sunsetagain jpg on the district web page if I give you credit? Martha H.
Logan, dooooo it! Holy crapness, recognition on the cgrove server! How cool is that?!
Not like you needed any third-grade-esque peer pressure to get you to do it, but anyway...
Guys and their fascination with pornography disturb me. Wanna talk about family issues? This is where my conservative streak comes out...well, that and my love for guns.
Gun go boom.
I'm so weird.
Heart always,
Jocelyn
I'm glad you have a conservative streak, J!
Does this post count for avoiding the curse? MH
