Zachary Quinto

Posted on by

We saw August: Osage County this afternoon. Excellent play — the best acting on a Broadway stage this year. Numerous Tony nominations are assured.

During the first intermission (there are two), I wandered downstairs from the balcony, and I saw one of my heartthrobs: Zachary Quinto of “Heroes.” He was standing behind the last row of the orchestra, talking with a companion. I nonchalantly sauntered past them and then walked back to make sure it was him. It was. He was wearing a black-and-red striped sweater, a pair of jeans, and chunky black-framed glasses.

I can’t tell you how much my heart pitter-pattered.

During the second intermission I went back downstairs and I saw him again.

I am soooooo in love with him. I have been ever since he played Tori Spelling’s gay Iranian best friend on “So NoTORIous.”

Tin Man

Given the name of this blog, I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out this miniseries, which starts on the Sci Fi channel on Sunday night.

And no, it’s not a miniseries about me. It’s about the other Tin Man. I think.

We’re TiVoing it.

Rudy the Liar

Posted on by

Two influential New York newspapers have front-page stories this morning about how Rudy Giuliani lies. One of them is a tabloid, so the story is splashed across the cover and will influence the masses:

Rudy Lies

Arguably more important, the New York Times has this on its front page: Citing Statistics, Giuliani Misses Time and Again. The article points to several statements Giuliani has made and says, “All of these statements are incomplete, exaggerated or just plain wrong.”

Does this mean a meme is finally taking root that it’s a Republican candidate who exaggerates?

It’s seeming less and less likely to me that Giuliani will be the Republican nominee (but what the hell do I know – I predicted a couple of months ago on Mike’s blog that it would be Fred Thompson). So these stories might be coming just a bit too early.

Still, after Gore and Kerry got raked over the coals for alleged lying and exaggerations, it’s nice to see the shoe on the other foot for once.

(Ooh, two metaphors in one sentence. Always wear shoes when walking over coals, I guess.)
