Adam Goldberg: YES
I saw this photo the other day in juxtapoz, a stupid art magazine that my adopted son* Chris brought over. I was stunned by the glory of the poster on the wall: NO YOU SHUT UP is the single most brilliant statement anyone could possibly make. I think it may be my next tattoo.
The photo is a still from a new movie called (Untitled), a satire about the contemporary art scene. Sign me up! Not that I’ll ever get out to see a movie, but, you know, theoretically.
Adam Goldberg is making a real comeback in my life after maybe being the guy in the Sarah Palin is a Cunt shirt. Last night, my kid got us a copy of The Hebrew Hammer and we laughed our heads off until the disc got screwed up in the last act and froze.
* If you don’t know about my adopted son, we became friends on MySpace through our shared appreciation of Deadwood. Chris lost his mom many years ago and I volunteered to adopt him. My family has accepted this situation very graciously, and why shouldn’t they? I also have an adopted daughter, but we haven’t been able to meet yet. If you need to be adopted, let’s talk when I’m not so overwhelmed.

I wouldn’t mind being adopted by you. Let me know when you can get around to me.

Me, me, me – I want to be adopted by a nice, sexy-looking, California lady and I’ll even wear silly T-shirts, if you want me to.
PS: I’m house trained.

And down Duff you’ll be writing letters to Mrs Mills next.

Have you seen Two Days in Paris? Another Adam Goldberg gem (thanks to Julie Delpy).

Oh, I’m definitely going to need that poster.
October 20th, 2009 at 4:27 am
I love Adam Goldberg and yes, that poster is brilliant. You’d be the coolest adoptive mom ever. I’m still pissed that they never made the Deadwood movie.

I HURT myself laughing at “The Hebrew Hammer.”
October 20th, 2009 at 5:30 am
everyone wants to be adopted by you.
October 20th, 2009 at 5:31 am
Adopt me as a baby sister. Go on, I bake cake with Guinness in. Plus, my (four) elder sisters are RUBBISH.
(I can’t watch Deadwood because to the Brits Ian McShane will always be a dodgy antiques dealer in a naff leather jeacket.)

There’s only room for one daughter around here so the rest of you cunts can FUCK OFF, okay?
October 20th, 2009 at 7:10 am
WendyB and I would make a great daughter pairing! Annemarie…I will cut you! No…seriously! She’s mine! Come to me mamacita Wolf!

WCGB beat me to it. I use Two Days in Paris to mend a broken heart and remind me why I never wanted to move to Paris in the first place. Mamacita Wolf, hahahaha. Has a nice ring to it.
October 20th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Oh no, what’s wrong with me? (My latest OCD.) I want to adopt your whole family, including all your adopted cyber-children, Mamacita Wolf, and turn you and them into faux-leather-wearing vegans, and set up a regiment of acupuncture, reflexology, vitamin and herb therapy, hiking, and juicing.
Oye vey-ggie.
(Don’t worry, I’ll discuss this with my therapist.)
Best to you and Max!

I’m always raving about season one of Deadwood.
Perfection.
What did you think of season two and three?
October 23rd, 2009 at 7:42 am
Well, I had to do it – Ann told me about this photo and I had to copy it unto a shirt, in my own way. I know it’s not original but it’s too damn brilliant not to be worn.
