Dianne Wiest Heads a Team of Two Ladies Plus Ugly Betty to Dallas to Issue Warnings for Torn Earlobes
Ditto everything Jeff said about our trip to Dallas. For some reason I have Dianne Wiest on the brain. Mostly this is due to her being featured on a recent episode of Family Guy in which Pablo Picasso rearranges images in his painting and reveals it to be Dianne Wiest. Today I imagined her suddenly ascendant in the public consciousness, claiming huge amounts of authority to issue statements affecting public safety et al. Today she is warning all residents of Greater Union Square to take shelter in preparation for the Super tornado barreling down Park Avenue. As useful as she'd be for downtown Manhattan, she'd be doubly so for Dallas. And Ugly Betty can be her spokeswoman and behind-the-scenes worker bee.
Our trip to Dallas featured many instances of funny -- I'm referring mostly to our adventure on the Dallas light rail system, the DART, followed by our walk through no-walk land, followed by a trip to the gay mall, followed by a fun evening at an East Village-like bar. Having secured the cash needed for the train fare from an ATM machine a mile walk away, we ventured forth, noticing a "Torn Earlobes?" message on an LED display near the train door; walking on a 3-ft wide (some places none) sidewalk next to eight lanes of SUV-filled traffic and strip malls in search of Wii games & gear; walking to the North Park Mall and getting cruised by men with wives and babies, and chatting up a Jersey native who works at the Bose store; and finally being driven to the Grapevine bar, where we listened to Radiohead and Thom Yorke and Tammy Wynette, and where I managed to spill my screwdriver all over my lower left pant leg. Fun.
We discovered Ugly Betty, too -- gayest network show ever. Fun. And Earle's barbecue sauce in Oklahoma City. And I discovered Jack In The Box -- mmm. I made macaroni and four cheeses with smoked bacon. We had smoked and Cajun turkey. We found a Mikasa store where a woman there declared, "I have taste!" We had a lovely and laugh-filled chat with a Portland, OR lesbian transplant. We played Wii! I wore a T-shirt all day and night on Thanksgiving. And we discovered an Angelika Theater! Oh, and the tallest building in Dallas is lined with green light at night - cool.
Oh, but that image of Jeff sprinting through a Wal-Mart on the Wii quest - classic.
