Almost Famous

I had such a famous person day today. Alright, maybe famous is a bit of an overstatement. But I saw a lot of people I know from t.v. and movies today. This morning I walked by a couch in my office and Leelee Sobieski was sitting on it talking to some woman. Leelee was in Never Been Kissed and some other movies. I've seen her before walking around Soho.
She's not very special, but she fits into my famous people day.
Then I was on the 6 train and Lily Taylor was sitting across from me. She lives in my neighborhood and I've seen her on Smith Street. But today she wasn't looking so good. But she counts.
Then I saw Richard Kind in my office, who most people don't know, but he was on Mad About You, which was a show I really liked. And he had a small role on Scrubs, which, anyone who knows me knows, is one of my favorite shows. He was also on Spin City, but I never watched that.
Then I saw the woman who played Ross's ex-wife's new girlfriend on Friends. She was also in my office. I think people were there auditioning for something because there's a casting agent down the hall. Normally I don't see all these actors.
The big moment came when A.S. and I were waiting for the elevator after work and the Coen brothers were standing there. I was too nervous to get on the elevator with them, but we all stood there together for a good 4 minutes. It was pretty cool. It's weird - Joel is really tall and kind of good looking. And Ethan is really short and not so good looking. It's weird they're brothers.
Then when A.S. and I were walking to the train, we saw Sophie Dahl standing outside the Mercer. She's some sort of English socialite/model/something and not very exciting. Though her grandfather wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, so that's kind of interesting.
She looked like a tranny. But again, she fit into my famous person day.
And Natalie Portman was in my office today, but I didn't see her. Apparently she will be back tomorrow, so I'm hoping to catch her then.
Stand by.
