David Hasselhoff Goes To My Gym And I Am Not A Liar This Is Just The Sort Of Celebrity Lifestyle I Lead

By


David Hasselhoff spotting.  At my gym.  In my town.

You:  But why, Anouchka, would The Hoff be vacationing in your generic, Midwestern town in February?
Me:  Well, apparently it's beautiful this time of year!  (Seriously.  It is in the 50s today.  Unheard of.)
You:  OK, OK.  But how do you know that it wasn't just some muscly old guy with a corny David Cassidy grin and a pair of outdated sunglasses?
Me:  Ever heard of a little something called intuition?  Well I have.  Plus, he was carrying a life saving floatation device and sun tan lotion.  And his hair was impeccably mussed.
You:  I call bullshit.
Me:  Would I lie to you?
You:  Yes.
Me:  OK, maybe I would and maybe I am, but I know what I saw and this is it:

What the hell?  How was this ever "a thing"?

OK fine.  Since I am allegedly a liar (prove it), here is how I will make it up to you:  I am conducting some scientific (a.k.a. IMDB & Wikipedia) research on my computer at work to present you with a few Hasselhoff factoids, for your reading enjoyment.  I know I will catch hell for this from the IT department at work (where they can monitor my internet activity and see that I am conducting searches for David Hasselhoff), but this is how much I love you.  You're welcome.
  • Once explained on a talk show about being attacked by a male kangaroo at a wildlife preserve.
  • Was considered for the role for Boba Fett in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980).
  • In Germany, he shares his dubbing voice with Kermit the Frog.
  • Helped to rescue a car crash victim. [March 1995]
  • Saved a drowning child. [August 1995]
  • On August 2, 2006, Hasselhoff proclaimed himself "King of the Internet" in a tongue-in-cheek advertisement commercial for Pipex.
  • Hasselhoff has launched a MySpace-like social networking site, known as "HoffSpace."  (This makes it infinitely less funny, but:  He did so in part as a response to people opening false social-networking pages in his name, as well as those of his children.)

Navigating Summer, School, and COVID-19

By
Guys, it has been awhile.  What can I say?  I just haven't been feeling inspired.  I know, I know...  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to discover that I am almost never  inspired; you can find evidence of this conclusion by reading any one of my past posts.  Seriously, just pick one.  But really, it has been busy around here.  Since March, we have been homeschooling both kids.  Part of this was mandated, of course, when everything shut down earlier this year.  However, since we were having growing success with taking charge of our kids' education this spring, we decided to run with it and continued with certain elements of school through the summer.  We will be full on homeschooling for the coming year because our public education system has turned into an absolute cluster.  This is going to be such a throwaway year anyway, so yeah.  We're "those people" now.   Who knows?  Maybe this year, my daughter has...

Brain Barf #4: Senior Citizens, Italian-Americans, Dreamboats, and Tap Shoes

By
My neighbor sent me this last night: In five years, J.Lo will be getting discounts at restaurants and movie theaters because she will be considered a senior citizen.  And she will still look like that.   YOU GUYS I SAID J.LO IS ALMOST A SENIOR CITIZEN.  SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE NOT EVEN LISTENING. Meanwhile, I look more and more like this every day: My friend MoMo was invited to play pool with a friend of hers today.  She told me about it, which is free license for me to post it here. MoMo (and her friend): Anouchka: In her friend's defense, he has only been in the U.S. for about 18 months and apparently thought that an "Italian-American" would be a rare and exotic treat. I'm been pestering Habibi lately to spoil me and praise me and tell me I'm a rare and divine treasure more often, but it hasn't been working.  I'll send him text messages periodically, featuring my face,  looking putrid fr...
