Randomly saw John Gallagher, Jr. on my corner the other night and opted to be gauche and ask for a picture. His Tony Award-winning turn as Moritz Stiefel in Spring Awakening really rocked my world, and I was partly emboldened since we have a mutual friend. Shame about the selfie quality, but from what little I can make out of my face, probably for the best.

Dreamed that I was in a museum in Oklahoma City, talking to a woman and embarrassed because I wasn't sure if she was Elizabeth Taylor or Vivien Leigh. Then Shaquille O'Neal presented me with an 11.5 million dollar check for winning a Subway-sponsored giveaway I had unknowingly entered by completing an online survey rating my latest experience at Subway. Shaq signed it, and I wondered whether he had been added as a signatory to such a massive Subway corporate account, or whether the check was just for show, and the money stuff would be worked out later.

TV show idea: "Mugging with the Stars"
Episode 1: "Me and my boy just took your wallet, your watch, and your keys. But I see you still got your fancy iPhone. Probably thinking you're going to call the cops? I got a better idea. Why don't you say what's up to my friend (removes ski mask)... GEORGE LOPEZ."
Episode 2: "Don't you try to be a hero, boy. I know you probably think you vs. me, 1-on-1, it's a fair fight, but why don't you take a look right across the street. You see, I got backup. That's right, that man on the corner, ready to roll up, is... GEORGE LOPEZ."
Episode 3: "I know this seems like a bad dream, but you better realize real quick that it is real and serious as a heart attack or you might not get to walk away. Now everybody get down. This is not a drill, this is not a bad dream, and no, it's not a sitcom either, even though you might recognize my boy here (removes rubber Richard Nixon mask) as the eponymous star of ABC's "GEORGE LOPEZ".
