Well suited

April 27, 2002 on 10:54 pm | In Brandeis, Lauren

It’s the day of the senior formal. Lex is typing this (unusually) third-person Blog entry wearing a well-fitting, stylish tux. The vest / Eurotie ensemble he’s working is especially slick, and he’s even wondering how much it would cost to purchase said combo from the rental place.

Lex and his fiancee Lauren had a romantic date last night; a big home-cooked dinner, and a rental of the DVD K-Pax. A good movie. We also rented Rat Race, which we’ll watch sometime when we’re not in formalwear.

I got up at 7am today to meet some of the ‘people’ I’m working with on Spur’s unending CD project. How tiring and fun, except for fun.

    I’ve written my ‘celebrity friend’ a lot of postcards at this point. One a day, five days a week. I hope that’s not overwhelming. I’m wondering if the celeb’s assistants/mail readers have even shared a single postcard with him yet. You figure after 20 or so, they feel obligated just to let him know that this crazy guy is sending a postcard each day, right?

    Ted Koppel is giving the commencement address @ Brandeis. To bad I wasn’t writing him postcards this whole time. We could be tight already.

    As you may know, I put up lots of links to AllPosters.com on this site, both because they sell great posters to the masses, but also because it’s technically possible that they might give me money.

    I’ve had the links and posters for about six months.

    I’ve sold one poster. This one. And now the poster is out of stock. You know why? Because they only had one, and someone bought it.

    Also, someone bought something from my Fortunoff bridal (groomal) registry. But I still don’t know who!

    Update: Received another email from the individual discussed in today’s main entry. It reads “That’s ‘her salutation,’ not his. :)”

    Ever have one of those days where a journalist from a respected newspaper in Rochester, NY emails you asking about a column you wrote back in October? No? Well, that makes ONE of us.

    Because today I received an email from a journalist with the Democrat and Chronicle (motto: Kicking butt against the Republican and Journal for lo this thirteen years), and in it the reporter asked about one of my columns. My favorite part of the email is his salutation, which for some reason strikes me as comical:

    Lex Friedman,
    I stumbled across this and wondered when you wrote it:

    http://people.brandeis.edu/~lexfri/vege.html

    I also wondered your age (still 20?), what you are studying at Brandeis and
    in which city/town/village you live.

    Also, if I may ask, what is your daytime phone number, in case I needed to
    reach you with any further questions?

    I happen to be writing a story about why people hate vegetables. Perhaps I
    can mention you.

    My reply, essentially, was October 2001, 21, Linguistics and Cognitive Science, Waltham MA, 1-800-4-LEX-FRI, and “Because they taste bad.”

    I’ve started writing daily postcards to one of my favorite TV stars. The notes are friendly, maybe even a little funny. My hope is that after a month or two of 4 to 6 postcards a week, the celebrity will feel as if he’s my friend — and thus suddenly be overwhelmed with an urge to offer me a job writing for his show.

    Worst-case scenario, I get to try out being a stalker for a while, and that’s always fun.

    The Justice (the Brandeis newspaper) reported that Sweatin’-to-the-Oldies guru Richard Simmons will be our commencement speaker this year.

    It was the April Fools edition.

    Most people didn’t get it. I did.

    I need a job. I graduate in May, move to LA in June, and plan to be gainfully employed by July.

    If you are a Hollywood-type and need a writer for your show, I’m your guy. Have your girl call my girl, we’ll do lunch.

    April 2, 2002 on 4:22 am | In Family, Jewish, Lauren

    So I haven’t updated my blog in like, forever. As my mom points out. Even though, of course, I’ve been living in the same crowded home with her for the past week or so.

    It’s Passover, a Jewish holiday celebrating indigestion and uncooked bread. Man, do we Jews know how to party or what?


    I’m in California with my parents, my fiance, my aunt, uncle, and cousin, staying at my sister’s family’s house (with her, her husband, and their two young daughters). My other sister was here for a while too. Sadly, my sister and her family have yet to purchase the mansion they deserve, so things are a little cramped. But what can you do?


    Anyway, I registered again. This time, at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. We did not register for any beds or baths, but we did do the beyond.
