You want a peanut?

The thing with living in the Philippines is that you are not so sure if the American show you're watching is current or a replay.  But anyway, I just happened on Jason Segel on Jay Leno and I wasn't so sure at first if it's a recent interview despite the fact that the local cable channel has that "via satellite" mark at the upper left corner (which they sometimes "accidentally" include in reruns).  I like to assume that the interview is pretty recent as Jason Segel talked about the Muppets movie and this thing Judd Apatow recently tweeted about him needing some personal stories.  Oh, and of course he did this surprisingly good Andre the Giant impression --- You want a peanut?, Jason Segel growled.

I have been personally going through a challenging period, in addition to the fact that I had gotten really busy, hence I kinda had to put my "quest to marry" Jason Segel in the backseat.  But as I currently have some substantial time in my hands, the flame was, uh, re-flamed and I thought that he was hilarious and lovely and if I had a peanut I would shell it for him.

I found out the other day that the Muppets movie will be shown here in Manila in fucking February 2012.  That's insane.  To be honest I wasn't really into the Muppets growing up --- although of course I knew them --- but I am seriously looking forward to see this movie.  I do not really have any memory of being in-love with the Muppets which is why I think, as Jason mentioned in the interview, it would be great to have them back.  In this Hollywood era of reruns and rehash, I must say the Muppets does deserve a slot in this current wave... which I hope will end soon (oh Hollywood, are you aware that the global film community is laughing at you now?)

Anyway.  I have of course mentioned the obvious and that is the email address Jason Segel mentioned in the show.  I can't remember what the email address is but if he's looking for personal stories to recite to people who interview him, he can just say he's been searching for that girl from the other side of the world who has been blogging about marrying him --- which is, surprisingly, in a non-stalking manner.

And by the way, I just read somewhere that Jason Segel smokes.  Well.  I smoked a lot in college and I still smoke occasionally, but I wish he'll minimize the lung poison.  He will never be on the cover of Men's Health if he keeps at it.  Oh, and if the Jay Leno interview is recent, I must say he's looking pretty pretty good.  Can't wait to see the abs.
