In 2004, a guy who I don't know named Jeremy Abbate saw my website and wrote a song called "I Wanna Be As Cool As Jessica Barron." It still amuses me. Here's the mp3 and here are the lyrics.

Yahoo counted me as a "cool person" from 1997-2001. How far have I fallen?!

August 14, 2007 I Was Ecstatic About Meeting David Lynch
It's definitely not as awesome as Bethany's photo with David Lynch, but I must say I was bowled over just by shaking hands with this guy. We were at an "Inland Empire" DVD signing at a bookstore here in LA, and I carried all my David Lynch stuff: I'm ecstatic about meeting David Lynch
  • His book on meditation ("Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity")
  • The "Twin Peaks" DVDs
  • Blue Velvet DVD
  • Mullholland Drive DVD
  • Wild at Heart DVD
  • Inland Empire DVD
    and I dropped the whole pile onto the table for him to sign. I officially had the biggest pile of David Lynch items at the signing, so I guess that made me David Lynch's "Biggest Fan." (I hope that didn't scare him too much.)

    David Lynch is my favorite celebrity-person in Los Angeles and the director/artist/writer I most admire. I couldn't say even one intelligent thing when I shook his hand. I just said, "Hello David Lynch." And then I stood there for at least a minute not saying anything until Chris pulled me away. Chris actually conversed with him. Neither of us got to ask where he got his inspiration for the bunny people in "Inland Empire." Shoot. I hope I get another chance to meet him.
