random experience of the day

Um, so I was walking through Union Square buying our Friday office vegan pie, when these people from Lifetime (television for extremely lame women) cornered me and my coworker and forced us to film a TV spot.

Okay, they didn't so much force us as ask us politely, and I said no because I'm a bitch and Lifetime sucks, but Olivia (my coworker) insisted. So we did it. We had to sign waivers and then they filmed us and asked a bunch of questions.

We dropped the word "vegan" like 10 times ("How are you going to indulge yourself in the New Year?" "Eat lots of vegan chocolate!"). And Olivia announced that she wanted Harvey Fierstein to play opposite her in a Lifetime movie. And I said that Halle Berry should play Olivia. Yeah, the questions were pretty stupid.

It was strange. And if they use any clips of us, it will be airing around New Year's.

Oh sure... Now I may have to actually tune in to that channel occasionally, just to see if I can catch sight of you.

Eek! Don't waste your time .... I probably won't even watch for it. *shudders at the thought of sitting through a Lifetime movie*

When I go through the channels, I'll stop there for a moment :)

Give me some helpe, though - what color is your hair this month? *grin*

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

LOL, don't feel obligated.

My hair's bright red, shoulder length, and I'm wearing a black and white plaid coat.

Plug the vegan! My 8 year old just informed me that as soon as she can she's going vegetarian. So, we are looking into my brother's cook book and reading up on recipes and the like. *sigh*

Awesome! Let me know if you want any specific recipes; I already have a bunch typed up ... and I strongly recommend the book "Simply Heavenly! The Monastery Vegetarian Cookbook" by Abbot George Burke, if you can find it.

There's some pie and cake recipes here:

I'll have to get your autograph the next time I see you...which, if I keep my fingers crossed real tightly, might be February...!!...

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Ooh, awesome. I hope it works out. :)

My dear, I consider you a friend, but there are some things I simply will not do, even in the name of friendship, and watching Lifetime is one of them. :)

If you're lucky, you guys didn't fit the demo and you won't be in the spots.

I do not blame you one bit. ;)

Um, you work in an office where you get vegan pie on Friday?? Some people have all the luck...

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Well, we're all (except one) vegan, so why not celebrate with office-sponsored pie? :)
