Ladies-- this is a public service announcement. Always read your junk mail. In fact, read your junk mail thoroughly and before you look at your bills.
Sure, it might look like just another advertisement listing a bunch of information you have no interest in-- and sometimes.... yeah.
I received what looked like junk mail about 3 weeks ago from American Cinematheque. They have a whole host of screenings, including showings of old movies which are often quite fun. Each year they do an award ceremony. If you are a subscriber at a certain level, you get two tickets to the event. The event typically honors an artist (actor, director or writer) in the entertainment industry committed to making asignificant contribution to the art of the motion picture (or so the ad says). Sounds great, but I never pay attention because it would involve going out, finding a date (or dragging one of my friends), a long evening full of boring speeches, blah blah blah.
3 weeks, people. This junk mail remained untouched on my desk because it couldn't possibly have been anything of interest to me. Plus, the ceremony was Friday night. Who goes out on a Friday night? I'm pretty sure I was doing something vital like watching a showing of Clue on cable.
On Sunday, I decided to clean, and I leafed through the junk mail. I saw the invitation of support and the offer of tickets.
This year's honored artist?
George Clooney.
That's right-- An evening with George Clooney.
Yeah....
Always read your junk mail.
Kate, wondering if she's done anything else stupid like not check winning lottery numbers more than a year old.

Oh yeah... I went to that... I'll shut up now, though.
What, what, what???? Honestly, there are still moments when I want to bang my head over that one.
