   Joseph Nebus to All   
   14 June 2007 - Kyra Sedgwick, Tomorrow N   
   15 Jun 07 01:43:17   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Kyra Sedgwick:   
   	- She likes his tie; it's made of Starbursts glued together.   
   	   
   	- She loved his job on the Emmys.  The pause before the audience   
   applauded was awkwardly long.   
   	   
   	- Her husband lives in New York City; it's a long-distance   
   relationship, hard, isn't it?  There's the phone, there's iChat.  She   
   finds it better than the phone, as you can see each other ... she's   
   grateful for Steven Jobs.  Has it been used for kinky purposes?   
   	   
   	- How hot and heavy can it get on iChat?  You have to use your   
   imagination.  Maybe Conan doesn't have the right camera.   
      
   	- They've been married 18 years.  Immediate applause for that.   
   	   
   	- Love at first sight?  They met doing ``Lemon Sky'' ...   
   remember PBS?  ABC?  Conan remembers what happened to ABC.  PBS did   
   small films, they met there.  In the movie they fell in love instantly.   
   For him it was instant love; for her it was instant indifference.   
   	   
   	- He kept inviting the whole staff to dinner; she didn't.  He   
   asked if she ever had a massage; she hadn't.  He was talking about the   
   masseuse at the hotel.  She made an appointment; she accepted a ``yeah,   
   if we ever do happen to run into each other we can go to dinner''.  Sure   
   enough, she was done with the massage ... (``He had a white tuxedo on,   
   he was lifting this rose.''  ``He was the masseuse, in a cheap   
   moustache.  I'm Antonio ... Bacon.'')   
   	   
   	- She remembers being a teenager just yesterday, but now her   
   kids are teenagers.  She's tried texting, but ... She'd always assumed   
   LOL was ``Lots of love.''  She'd text, ``I'm so proud of you, LOL.''   
   	   
   	- She doesn't get grinding, a dance.   People grind without   
   facing one another ... they don't know one another, they're not looking   
   at one another ... ``What *ever* are they simulating?''   
   	   
   	- In her day they did the eighth-grade two-step.  It's swaying   
   to a heavy beat.  Conan figures makeup should put acne on him and raise   
   his pants to his knees.  His belt should be mid-belly, and Conan stomps   
   like he's squashing grapes.   
      
   	- Conan's going to teach his kids the Charleston, and dances of   
   the 1880s; they'll wear hoop skirts and churn butter.   
      
   	- When she first moved to Los Angeles she would use a Polish   
   accent in the hopes that people would not take advantage of her.  Since   
   nobody takes advantage of newly-arrived immigrants. 	She did get   
   sort-of screwed on every single thing she bought.   
   	   
      
   Tomorrow Night's Guests:   
   	- It'll be professional without stupid, arbitrary humor.  Isn't   
   that right, Groucho Llama In An Iron Lung Listening To 'Our House' By   
   Madness?   It cost them $400,000.   
      
   	+ He's no Seven Foot Groucho, but I like him anyway.
