oh, and speaking of jeffrey dahmer and the horrible things he did and how interesting the concepts of insanity and serial killing are and how interesting they are to discuss, i read this GREAT imagined monologue on mcsweeneys.net today. it was funny!

there was a weird period in my life where i would fantasize about being the jonathan brandiz character in sidekicks. so, i would fantasize about being in sort of real-life, action movie scenarios with chuck norris, butsort of as myself, but i was also sort of jonathan brandis.
WEIRD!
but the imdb plot summary for sidekicks is great, so, EAT IT UP
'Barry is an asthmatic kid having trouble in life. He lives with his father, a computer programmer, in Texas. Barry is struggling to get by in life, dealing with his rough school life, bullies, as well as his health. Barry's only source of enjoyment is fantasizing that he is with Chuck Norris. Barry becomes sick of getting picked on by the bigger guys, and decides to learn karate, in hopes of one day meeting the great Chuck Norris'.
Take out the first 2 sentences, and that was ME. NUTSHELL.
don't you do snl to promote, like, movies or tv show appearances to come? like, to announce a shining period of being in the forefront of peoples minds due to an intense saturation of ones' self in the media? not, say, to announce a quiet, ashamed period of quasi-stardom right after said 'shining period' (heh) and during the downward slope of your fame?
I think my favorite sight gag is on the Cypress Creek promotional video where the homeless man turns into the mailbox.
Maybe the best episode ever? Hard to say.
