Denis has been on the Rescue Me Comedy Tour this month, so I haven’t seen much of him. I did, however, see him on West 57th Street the other day. Yes, I was driving, but it was perfectly safe. The law is against using cellphones when you drive. It’s fine to be making a short film while driving in rush hour traffic, everybody knows that.
If you can’t see video click here:
In case you’re wondering what that music is, it’s my theme song. Wherever I go, that music plays. I know. Cool.
hey, ann – i can’t see it, can you post a link? thanks!
Hi Ann,
Blank for me too.
I got a blank too. Did you find out yet about the blog name?
Wow. Great film. It reminded me of Days of Heaven.
Hi Ann-Blank for me—and I wanna hear that song again!!!
Ann,
Have to say that the music sounded like Ice Cream Truck bells? I heard a lot of dinging! So, what music was playing?? But I must say, I give you BIG points for driving in New York city – I wouldn’t have the nerve! I95 even gets to me these days with all the tracker trailers bearing down on all sides!
Hi Ann, the screen is blank for me too. Going to see Denis tomorrow night at the Riverside Theater-do you want me to say hi for you?
I agree with D…..it sounds like you were driving an ice cream truck. (which could be another option if the EMT thing doesn’t work out)
I agree, sounds like you’re driving an ice cream truck. Good time of the year for that.

Well that would CREEP ME OUT. My husband suddenly peering down at me from the top of a building while I was driving along in NYC, perfectly innocent, not even thinking about, say, other men…
Paula, yes, it’s especially disconcerting when I’m at a stop light in some kind of dreamy reverie when slowly a bus pulls alongside and there he is looking right at me, his face as wide as my car.
Masterful cinematography as usual!
Thank you, Ann!
Funny! I saw the show on 6/5 at Mohegan Sun in CT. I haven’t laughed so hard in a very, very long time. Very enjoyable, great comedians, great, fun band, great time. You probably get tired of hearing it, but it was really cool to see Denis live since I have been following him since he practically started his career & am a big fan of RM.
Have you seen the statues on the rooftops in Madison Square Park? I noticed them the other evening. So cool, and so startling! https://www.madisonsquarepark.org/programs/madsqart.aspx
I think you should do a film with Ghost girl appearing next to each statue and doing her signature wave. Now that would be eery.
Helena, great idea! Can’t wait to tell Ghost Girl! Seriously, might do it tomorrow.
I freak out if I am on my way doing something I shouldnt(SHOPPING) or thinking something I wouldnt share(CUTE CHECK OUT GUY) and he calls me on my phone.I cant imagine if I saw the other half Big Head Glaring at me during such moments.
Cinematic Masterpiece!!! I’m still partial to last years billboard…..Smokin’ or too much Mexican food before the shoot…
I love it!.
Now I know I am not the only nut around, making ‘film’ for posterity while waiting for a red light!!.
Love it.
How surreal that must be to look up and see your spouse on a huge billboard! My hubby just discovered Rescue Me on Netflix! He’s been watching hours of it on his laptop the last few weekends.
I just love your theme song,, very catchy. My husband and I are going to see Denis in Chicago this Sat.. it’s our anniversary present,, we can’t wait..
Going to see Him and his friends Saturday night as well — can’t wait.
I have to say, I miss Holly and her shenanigans.
Ann – your a crack up – “haven’t seen much of him however I did see him on W. 57th St”. What goes through your mind when you see his face on a billboard larger than life? I can’t imagine.
Thought you guys might enjoy this satire…….so ridiculous.

Helena – I saw those statues. I think they are incredibly cool. Total doubletake.
I just watched the video. Never mind big brother – DL’s watching you. I’ll bet you have that very same billboard in your vestibule.
Nice smooth ending too. Did you hit a parking meter?
haha i agree w/everyone…how weird would that be to see your husband or anyone you know on a huge billboard!!? Going to see RM Comedy Tour on Saturday- will you be visiting CHicago by any chance?!?
ps. i havent been able to get on here the past month.. i miss reading my daily humor on this website! good to be back!:)
I agree — how weird to see your significant other 3 stories tall? How weird to see yourself 3 stories tall? I can’t stand an itty bitty facebook pic . . .
Ann,, when is your next book coming out? Should be any day now right? and what ever happened to Gentle Ben,, is he still hanging around the house?
Mary Lynn,, that was pretty funny,, like laff outloud funny.
Well, I had an amazing day today. There are good ones, and there are bad ones, and I’m relaxing after the former.
I went back the largest Savers in all the land (same place I saw the 7 foot drag queens, and plural wives) and scored the most incredible clothes, accoutrements, and gee-gaws.
I only allow myself to go once a week, for fear I slip back into my thrift store addiction, but one day (more like an hour) at this particular Savers is like 10 trips to any other second hand store.
I was on my lunch hour, and didn’t have time to try anything on, but I’ve got a pretty good eye, and everything fits like a dream.
I have no idea where I will wear all these fabulous clothes.
As I’m playing dress up, I’m thinking how could anyone give all this great stuff away? And then as always the horrible thought grips me that some achingly stylish woman just passed away. So for a moment I reflect on that, and then jump for joy that she passed on all these great clothes to me! Yippee!!!
I got some REALLY good stuff, all super cheap to begin with, and then 30% off. I’m going to fantasize that I am Auntie Mame now!

Oh, and then I come home to find an invite to a cocktail party with William Shatner in the mail!!!
Ok – I want to know – how many of you have had toddlers that danced like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCuRtXV25DE&feature=channel
Mary Lynn – you ABSOLUTELY had an amazing day! Who’s better than you!
Kim, Devin and I can’t stop watching the baby dancer and crying with laughter. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Seriously, somebody should sign that kid today. I have never seen a more coordinated toddler. My kids were literally toddling at that age. Adorable.
Mary Lynn, my day was not so great. 1st had mouth shot full of novocaine to have broken veneer replaced. Then dentist asked me if I ever grind my teeth. I said, yes, constantly. He said that all my teeth are going to break so I have to stop. He wanted to make me a mouthguard to wear in bed to make me stop. I said, the only time I don’t grind my teeth is when I’m asleep. He said that there was nothing he could do then. Great.
Kim — well, it just keeps getting awesomer — thanks for the Baby Samba link. I just have one thing to say — how can it be wrong, when it feels so right?
This precocious young’un actually looks the part, the cigarette smokin’ Thai kid (I hear he is down to 15 cigs a day) looked like he was well out of Pampers, or whatever they use there. I suspected he was a midget . . . or the smokes just stunted his growth or something.
Samba Baby is really going to give those Beyonce dancing “Single Ladies” 7 year olds a run for their money!
So, I’m just lounging around doing my best Rosalind Russell impersonation. Here is a YouTube tribute to Roz and the fashions of Auntie Mame. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCRNeImI6V4
Ann – thats why I always recommend wooden teeth.
That baby I believe is from Brazil and I honestly do think that everyone from South America were created with Samba sperm. Its just an ingrained part of the program to dance that way. Can you believe this child?
Ann, I can’t imagine you grinding your teeth, or being tense at all! But, something has kept you so slim and trim, so I’ll believe you are wound a little tighter than most.
Me, I’m as laid back as they come — but you probably wouldn’t know that from my posts.
I probably should be some sort of psycho-therapist or something, I’m kinda like human Valium. . . just lie on the couch and tell me all about yourself. I do have a knack for getting people to open up and tell me their stories.
But back to teeth grinding. I don’t think our bodies and certain parts of them are designed to last as long as we are living nowadays. You should consider yourself lucky to have functioning choppers as you age.
In my family we have big, ugly, crooked, discolored teeth, and the worse part is, they don’t fall out! I could spend a fortune to get an attractive smile, but what’s the point? If I have the money some day, maybe I will, and maybe I should, but when I found out that my idol had dentures, well, that was it — I’ve been hoping for my teeth to fall out ever since. Not likely as my dad died with all of his at age 81, and my mom still has hers at 82, and they are NOT attractive — but they are functional.
I’m not ruling out the Chiclet smile, but if I get started improving my appearance (outside of wardrobe) I could end up like Joan Rivers — there is just so much to fix.
Ann,, I grind my teeth all the time, night and day, which has just created a cracked molar which is under my 20 yr old bridge. So that got infected and finally I had to have the bridge cut off and the tooth pulled. Of course it didn’t end there, I needed a bone graft. Now the question is what do I put in this gaping hole in my mouth? I will only crack the implant anyway and my jaw is not strong enough to hold the screw in place. Dentures.. I think not.. either way I am looking at between $2500 to $5000 for one freakin tooth.
So I tip I learned to stop from grinding my teeth during the day is to keep the tip of your tongue touching the roof of your mouth,, it relaxes jour jaw bone and is impossible to grind your teeth.. see if that helps you.
ann, if it’s any consolation, i grind my teeth during the day AND overnight…..
Dear Ann, Just a vote in favor of mouthguard. Never knew why my face and jaw hurt so much in the morning….seems they really had a workout while I slept. Took me a while to get figure out my dentist wasn’t just pushing something. Got it, wear it at night (most nights) usually wake up and remove it after 4 hrs. or so BUT it sure helps. My jaw doesn’t jut out, no more lipstick on my teeth….guess everything has relocated to the original position. Just passing on some feedback on the pros and cons (and, damn, it is tough getting old!!)
