I write The Sticky Egg every day, so there isn’t a whole lotta rhyme or reason to my choice of topics.
Most days, I’m just happy to have one.
So it’s interesting to glimpse ‘behind the curtain’ at the site statistics to see what posts readers like the best. Plus, it gives me a chance to say ‘thank you’ to a few of the celebrities and TV shows that bring sightseers to The Egg.
Carson Kressley The Queer Eye veteran has been a favorite of mine — along with crazy man David Arquette — since they first announced this season’s Dancing with the Star’s cast list. After watching the first week of shows, I am happy to report, I was right. He’s not the best dancer, but he’s the most entertaining by far. Voters, keep him around. The show will be better for it. (And I can keep yapping about him.)
Ryan Gosling Okay, I’ll admit it — not counting this post, I’ve written about Ryan Gosling five times during the The Egg’s two-year existence. What can I say? He inspires me. And apparently readers are okay with my choice of subject matter, too. If Ryan continues to make so many great movies, might I suggest a regular Gosling feature on the Egg? Don’t worry — I will always include quality photos. (They are as much for me as they are for you.)
Law & Order — I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with this iconic New York City drama. I was thrilled to appear as an extra in no less than nine episodes of the original series. They were long, boring days that taught me a lot about the biz. But I honestly don’t care much for the show itself. The musical stinger alone gives me hives.
The Big Bang Theory If Kaley Cuoco (Penny) fell in the woods, would it make a sound? I can answer that with a resounding yes. When Kaley had a horseback riding accident last season — and I wrote a blog about it — fans of the show flocked to The Egg. And they just keep on coming back. Kaley, if blog traffic starts to slide, I may need you to attempt a few more daredevil stunts.
High Fashion Whether it’s Hillary Clinton’s hair don’t, Royal Wedding hat do’s, or ‘pretty piggy’ bacon strips for your dinner table, readers seem to like posts that celebrate all things fashion. I kinda feel guilty though…me sitting here in my jeans and t-shirt. But The Egg is only too happy to join the fray.
Thanks for continuing to come along for the ride!
Special Sticky Sneak Peak: tomorrow I’ll be blogging about my experiences as an audience member at the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Will Jimmy have Egg on his face?? The answer tomorrow!
Testing
I’m having an MRI done today.
My left shoulder is injured (no doubt a result of daily blog postings to The Egg).
I would have to be sedated to go through the tunnel in the regular MRI machine.
Yep, I’m one of those claustrophobic types. I don’t just talk the talk; I really am claustrophobic. And unfortunately, my fear of tight spaces has reared its ugly head in public places in the past.
Most memorably, I panicked in the tiny, windowless elevator at the St. Louis Arch. If you ever been, you understand. If you’ve never been and you’re claustrophobic?
Don’t go.
Of course, going into my appointment today, I wonder if my chart has special notes on it because I specifically requested the open MRI.
Do you think there’s a medical code for ‘wuss?’
