Less Padding for Jason Segel

So apparently Jason Segel has lost some weight. I have heard for that tidbit weeks ago, maybe in some clips along with the Bad Teacher promo. Again, by some accident I saw this Letterman interview, and --- well, well, well --- he looks mighty great. Slimmer and leaner. As I've said I liked him even with that bit of padding, but of course I think it's great that he's been "eating less" and doing some exercise. Since I have been trying to be leaner and slimmer lately as well, I relate to him a lot.

(Oh, and Jason Segel, what I meant by me trying to be leaner and slimmer does not mean I am overweight. I was just thinner when I was younger because I was more athletic, and I have recently grown into a woman with a bit of curves.)

Anyways, thankYouTube, I just saw this whole interview and I must say that in addition to the fact that he is looking incredible I thought he was really funny. This is the kind of guy I would love to hang out with, and it seems that his sense of humor is that special kind: with a hint of slapstick but smarter. He wrote and starred Forgetting Sarah Marshall which, in my opinion, is one of the best rom-coms since this millenium began. Something a Woody Allen enthusiast would love as well.

I realized I've only seen very few Jason Segel interviews --- maybe about two. Well, this just shows that even though I want to marry him I am not obsessed with him, and seriously I haven't even seen Bad Teacher. Not because I don't want to see it, but because the theaters here in Manila is not showing it yet.

Now I wonder if it was picked up for local distribution at all. I hope they'll show it, the theaters are crazy if they didn't as the movie has an obvious market here.

In the meantime, here's the Letterman interview:



Geez. He has a lucky assistant to see him sleep with Taco Bell wrappers on his chest. He could have worn a bigger shirt to hide that belly! (hahaha)

I have also recently learned that my supposed trip to Sta Monica this year for the American Film Market had to be scrapped from this year's plans. That made me quite sad. True, I would probably have the same chance as I did last June when I was in LA, but heck, we all like to take shots at the moon. Ergo, I must meet Jason Segel before marrying right?

Is there some cosmic force out there that will at least lead me to step one? I hope so.

In Response to Seven Things You Don't Know About Jason Segel

Watching this reminded me of that particular time I fell really in-love for the first time. It was the movie kind. The guy was walking towards me. It was late afternoon. The sun shone weirdly on him. And something I could not explain happened: I fell in-love. Just like that. The moment was irrational. I did not choose it to happen. All of a sudden everything made sense, those small things that took place that would finally lead me to that particular moment of realization when it dawned on me, hey, this is love.

But that was back in the 90s, and the other day my aunt found a single white hair attached to my scalp. Yes, I am getting old --- just like you and the rest of the population. We are just on our different stages of evolution, and I am in this stage where a significant amount of stress no longer leads to a drunken nightout but to an instant growth of white hair.

In that case, can I still believe in something that is irrational?

I am quite surprised that well --- I am flustered. I do like this guy. I really do. I can probably talk to him about everything and nothing, explore that puzzle of nothingness in everything, and the everything in nothing. I haven't smiled this long about a boy in a verrry long time.

*Okay, I gotta warn you, I am writing this with hearts as my pupils in a cartoony fashion ala Helga in Hey Arnold!*

What I like about this interview is that Jason Segel mentioned his supposed flaws which kinda makes him, say, a geek and a freak. A six-foot four Jewish guy in a Christian school who knows all things Muppets. This is incredible. If I was sixteen, I would be curious. Now that I am reaching the age times two of that, I am not only curious, I want to know this person.

I just thought it's interesting he "lost" one of his best friends to med school. I went through the very same thing, and I am kinda getting through that. It was quite tough one for me. Obviously it was tough for him as well; putting it up along with the seven things somehow makes it more trivial. Maybe I'll suggest we form a support system for people who feel abandoned as their friends left for med school. Create a slogan that goes, MED SCHOOL AIN'T GREY'S ANATOMY.

And oh, the puppet room. How Being John Malkovich! Maybe his favorite hobby is Being John Malkovich-ing which most of us can only dream about.

So what do I think about puppets? Don't I find a puppet collector creepy? Well. I carry a miniature action figure in my purse. Are we talking creepy yet? C'est normale!

Oh well, gotta cut this short. Back to working on that script-thang. I am not even supposed to be making an entry here, but this sudden need for inspiration led me to a crushee instead of me becoming the crusher.

At least I am starting to pick up clues that I can use for the proper neurolinguistic programming session!
