Dear Mamaist:

In a video presented by the Smithsonian Institute’s Latino Center after the premiere showing of the new film Bella at the United Artists King of Prussia Stadium 16—note to readership: unless you enjoy watching rich people kiss each other’s asses and overblow their purpose in life, you better get an aisle seat if you go to a film premiere—I discovered that both former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and the lead singer of the band Switchfoot were big fans of the film. While I hate to voluntarily put myself in the company of a member of Georgie Boy’s gene pool or a guy whose musical catalog is significantly lesser than Nickelback's, I have to admit that this Phillyist actually thought the movie was… aaah-ite.

I’m still unemployed, but I’m working part time as an “independent contractor” at a local arts organization. Said arts organization shares a floor of an office building, and therefore the floor’s kitchen, near City Hall with, among others, a local advertising agency. The other day, I was standing in the kitchen getting a glass of water when an employee of the ad firm walked up to me. “Hello. Who are you?”

Apologies, first and foremost, to the actor behind whom I walked in last night. I know how jarring and distracting that can be, and you looked rather frightened when the door opened. It was unforgivable and unprofessional of me. All I can say is that I was absolutely certain that the play started half an hour later than what the curtain time actually was. I promise that that won't happen when I return tomorrow for .

Some of us are not exactly Martha Stewart in the kitchen. There's help for those that want a nice, traditional Thanksgiving dinner at home, but don't want reach into a turkey's ass to nab the goody bag of extra parts.
