Reality Remixed: Like Disco Lemonade
What better place than here?
What better time than now?


Saturday, June 19, 2004
So I went over to the Century City Mall today with a co-worker for lunch, and we're standing around in the food court waiting for our food, and I nudge my co-worker and say, "Hey, see that tall blonde in line at Sbarro? Isn't that Beth Littleford?" He looks over and says, "Yeah, it is!" I told him that I used to love watching her when she was on The Daily Show, and he said, "Well, why don't you go over there and tell her?" Quite honestly, I didn't feel right doing it. For the most part, celebrities are people too, and they deserve the right to go about their lives in mild privacy without being bothered. I mean, if I was stopped everywhere I went, I'd probably get a little pissed off about it eventually. On top of which, I didn't know exactly how she'd take it -- I could see the possibility that she might think, "Man, this guy is reminding me about a show I voluntarily left and then became wildly popular with the kids! How dumb was that move that I now regret and that he's now bringing up? And now look, I'm on this stupid Fox show with a pair of rappers!" And then, given that she is taller than I am and looks very much in shape, she'd kick my ass and probably still have enough left over to kick my co-worker's ass before getting her lunch at Sbarro and eating it in solitude. So I left her alone. And then, of course, I got back to the office and immediately called a friend of mine who I know has been a big Daily Show fan for years and said, "Guess who I saw at lunch today??"
