News on the March
April 10th, 2012
March 2012 was another one of those ‘a little bit of this, a little bit of that’ months. It was a continuation of the transition felt in February, as I moved out of my relationship with Jamie and continued passing the time by going out here and there, making appearances everywhere. Although I had considered a trip to go to Chicago for the celebrity show there, I couldn’t get anyone else in going and frankly, the celebs themselves were not of a high enough caliber to draw me in (and I had met or will meet most of the ones who were).

Just One of the Guys was one of those teen movies of the mid-80′s that didn’t quite rise up to the quality of the John Hughes films of the era, but was still quite fun nonetheless. Considering that the movie poster itself pictures a topless, sexy Joyce Hyser, I think that most adolescent boys were hoping for a bit more raunchiness than the film ended up having, but in the end, the film stayed more accesible to the teen mainstream by keeping a PG-13 rating. 
I have always want to have a posting titled that. This was my one chance. However, I must warn you that in no way involves the deliciousness of the Nutty Bars, Oatmeal Creme Pies, or Star Crunches that we all grew up with – and if you didn’t, I feel very, very sorry for you. Ahem… back to reality. Or rather, this celebrity encounter with Debbie Lee Carrington. She’s a little person, hence the posting title. But not just a little peson, but an actress and stunt woman who has made appearances in a variety of TV shows and films. 
I always enjoy meeting former child actors – even if I’m not all that familiar with their work, as was the case with Eric Shea. Bob had told me that he had been waiting quite a while to get him to sign his material from The Poseidon Adventure, so he was happy that he had finally surfaced for a show. When I met him at the Hollywood Show on October 8, 2011, this was his second appearance there. This time he was present as part of the big Batman reunion going on at that show, since he had starred in a couple of episodes. 
It wasn’t all that long before we got to meet her that Jamie was twirling her hair and asking what film it was that she recalled a girl twirling her hair in the same fashion. It soon dawned on her that it was in fact the character of Linda, who dumped on the hero Robby (portrayed by Adam Sandler) in The Wedding Singer. So when it just so happened that Angela Featherstone, the actress who had played Linda, was going to be appearing at the Chicago Hollywood Celebrities Show on October 1, 2011, I was excited that Jamie would get the chance to meet her.
