Greek Salad

Hank left for Canada yesterday morning, so I am on my own for the next few weeks...yesterday afternoon I went to the Day of the Dead Festival at Forest Lawn, Hollywood Hills... spent time visiting the graves of Andy Gibb and Paul Monette (I was a big fan of Paul;while Andy and I spent some quality time together in Palm Springs in the Spring of 78...a real shame about him) ... saw Molly Ringwald there mourning the death of her career no doubt...after the visit to the cemetery, I went back home and went over the new script I got the other day, a musical version of "Deep Throat" known as "Open Wide"... Queen Latifah called again;will be taking a meeting with her people in a couple of weeks as she really wants me as a writer for her new sit com, "Mama's In The House" ... in a similar mode, someone at Fox got my number and asked what I knew about Faye Dunaway's proposed sit-com, "Love that Faye!" Told the caller that I knew nothing about this ... Matthew Perry came over and hung out the rest of the day, kept trying to order wine for delivery from The Liquor Locker, had to take his cell phone away and handcuff him to a chair in the guest bed room where he watched a marathon of "Saved by the Bell" on TBS until he fell asleep.

This morning, after I uncuffed Perry and got him off to his AA meeting, Guadalupe served up a wonderful breakfast of poached eggs and sausage links ... read the papers and then took a call from Diana Luxembourg who told me that my page on IMDB was up and running! I went to my computer and saw that it was so (click on the picture for a full view)... after that I went down to the Beverly Hills Gym and sparred a few rounds with Erik Palladino ... while neither of us ended up with black eyes, we decided to take a steam together and after that we went and got a bite to eat at Cafe Marly... Erik had a steak so raw the sucker was bleeding, I had the Greek salad ... discussed Ricky Martin's "comeback" and Palladino told me that he thinks he might have fucked Ricky Martin that time in South Beach...we laughed and toasted Ricky's assets... finished up around two thirty and headed home and found that Perry was in to the cooking sherry...poor Guadalupe was hysterical trying to pry the bottle from him ... having just engaged in a pugilistic endeavor, I cold cocked him with a right hook and knocked him out cold ... Guadalupe helped me carry him to the guest room and we put an ice pack on his eye and hoped for the best... told Guadalupe to take the rest of the day off with pay ... worked on my fake blog for awhile and then checked on Perry saw that he was still out cold ... Carrie Fisher called and she wanted to talk about the Halloween Party the other night; she said that Entertainment Tonight just did a big story on Tori Spelling and how she clobbered Robert Blake at Dunaway's, "That's the best career move that bitch ever made", she said howling... The we discussed Mike Love's lawsuit against Brian Wilson ; and finally we discussed Charlie Sheen's marriage woes, "Why does that bastard have a TV show and I don't?!, Carrie asked...

After hanging up with Carrie, I called it a day and sacked out on the sofa watching the second part of the "Saved by the Bell" marathon until I was out like a light...
