Room without a view

February 28th, 2005

For the last couple years I was lucky enough to have a cubicle with a view – not just a window but a wall of five-foot windows on the fifth floor. In the winter when the trees where bare, we had a sliver of a view of the tops of the downtown skyline. But now the building going up across the street has reached five stories and my view of the skyline is gone. Now I am left with the Channel 4 tower and the BMA Building (now One Park Place), both on Signal Hill. And I almost forgot, a view of lovely “downtown” KCK. Oh well, could be much worse.

Jay Mohr – Gasping for Airtime

February 20th, 2005

Jay Mohr spent two years on Saturday Night Live and tells a great story of what it’s like you achieve your dream job and turns out to be quite bittersweet. That, and the obligatory yet interesting behind the scenes SNL stories.

…Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler walked past our table with his wife. All week I had thought he looked like Joan Rivers. During the rehearsals, he would constantly primp himself. Tyler carried a mirror in the holster on the side of his painter’s pants. The mirror wasn’t a compact; it was about eight inches in diameter. He looked in that mirror more than someone who lived in a house of mirrors.
