Corporate Kindness?, 90210 Slumming, Constitutional Pirates, Spelling with Guillermo & Cathy’s Bday
The dogs woke me up licking my face at 6:30 this morning despite the fact that we went to bed at 3 AM. Ruby apparently had to pee. I knew she shouldn’t have had that last strawberry daiquiri.
So I threw on some sweats and took them out. We ran into my friend Ken & his dog Ginger outside Starbucks, and since I was out of Diet Coke, 
I went in and ordered a mocha frappuccino. Then I realized I didn’t have my wallet as I was just wearing sweats. So I told the woman, “Never mind, I forgot my wallet.” She said, “Don’t worry, it’s on the house!” It kind of took me aback for a moment, and then I just said, “Wow, thank you!” Can you believe that? 
So, if you’re reading this, you should “Pay it forward” and buy 2 frappuccinos (on me) next time you go to Starbucks.
After work I took Garbo & Ruby for a four hour walk. Well, we didn’t really walk the whole four hours. We met Tyson for dinner. While we ate our pasta, Garbo & Ruby played with a cute Jack Russell Terrier puppy. Afterwards we took some pictures in Beverly Hills and headed home.

Slummin’ It
Suffice it to say, they are pooped!
Carol invited me to another screening at the Screen Actor’s Guild Theater again on Saturday morning. We’re going to see Pirates….with a real cast of characters!
On the subject of subverting government, Carol also told me about one of the words in the recent National Spelling Bee, which I had never heard:
kak·is·toc·ra·cy
/ˌkækəˈstɒkrəsi/ – noun, plural -cies. Government by the worst persons; a form of government in which the worst persons are in power. Of couse, I’ve always applied this word to the Bush administration:he·gem·o·ny /hi-jem-uh-nee, hej-uh-moh-nee–noun, plural -nies. 1. leadership or predominant influence exercised by one nation over others, as in a confederation. 2. leadership; predominance. 3. (esp. among smaller nations) aggression or expansionism by large nations in an effort to achieve world domination. 
Speaking of the National Spelling Bee, Jimmy Kimmel had Evan M. O’Dorney, this year’s champion on his show last night. This is painfully funny to watch. The poor kid is absolutely clueless, but it’s so hilarious!!That’s his parents laughing about halfway through. The poor thing is such a genius but he just couldn’t understand what was going on.
And last but not least, from California to Munich, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CATHY!!!!! xoxoxo GLY
Thanks as always to master photographer Matthias.

haha were the kid’s parent playing a joke on the poor kid? maybe cuz he’s homeschooled he didn’t catch on or know about Kimmel..

Like the story says, Tank Guy was yanked into the crowd and saved. I don’t know where he is now, but he safely made it to San Francisco in 1998 or 1999, I didn’t get to talk to him, but he was pointed out to me by someone who knew the secret.
A big corporation like Starbucks giving away a free coffee– imagine that.
Hahahaha. The Pirates of the Constitution: Head Man’s Mess made me laugh.
