August 15, 2004--Frada and Fascists

August 15, 2004

This morning at breakfast a woman had what was clearly a fake Prada handbag. It occurred to me that this should be called a "Frauda."

Another unreasonably large breakfast--cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, maple sausage, bacon quiche, toast (its very so long since I've had toast to me toast and butter are better than the Danish pastries) then some granola with banana and a taste of maple scone which is so large and distressingly dry it could choke King Kong.

Had breakfast with a gaggles of republicans and managed to remain civil and not call them brain dead nazi idiots. I consider this a major accomplishment.

I knew they were idiots because their 19' long Ford Expedition had a bumper sticker that read re-re-re-elect Bush which is so stupid that reasonable minds take a while to figure out it means bush sr. and jr.

Yesterday they drove the thing off road, presumably to trample native flora and the occasional fauna.

I am thinking of letting the air out of their $800 19" fascist tires.

One of the highlights of the trip has been the marzipan coffee cakey thing from Andersons--I am not afraid to say its the best bakery-made baked good I have ever eaten. Its orgasmic. So good I went back to get another slice and came away with pan full.

Originally we went into the bakery just to look. They gave us drop-dead fantastic samples and then we felt compelled to buy something we'd later not regret. Ill say just one more thing on the subject--this is the kind of food that should be the last thing you eat before you drop dead so you'll leave with a good taste in your mouth.

I think I've discovered why their baked goods are so addictive--they add a tiny touch of crack cocaine to everything they bake. Or not, but it tastes better than any drug could make a person feel.

We shot at a local school--we were the audience and it took most of the day, then we shot some scenes outside with Ben Murphy, famous for the TV series "Alias Smith & Jones." Ben's a very nice guy but one of these annoying men who get even better looking as they get older.

I told Rita that I hoped if I lived long enough I, too, would look better. She said, "There are more important things," which was sweet, and she's surely right, though I wouldn't mind being handsome as well as brilliant :)
