Place: Franklin nr Bronson driving in my Jetta
Celeb: Jeremy Sisto, again! (By the way, he is my 3rd Six Feet Under celeb sighting)

Corrections: Earlier I claimed Jeremy got into a Mercedes Kompressor in the Mayfair Market lot. I saw him driving eastbound on Franklin midday and I got a better look at his rather modest, Toyota Corolla.

Whoa, big difference. Guess I better have my prescription updated at the optometrist's. It smacks of meekness and is a healthy slice of humble pie. But in this city of self-conscious posturing and ultra-hipness, even the most innocent and genuine gestures can seem tragically contrived or some vain attempt to conceal an underlying superficiality. In this cynical guise, I conjecture it's a way to "hide out" by cloaking yourself in a working class automobile to blend into the landscape of ordinariness like a wolf in sheep's clothing so to speak.

Jeremy seemed to be going to Mayfair again, perhaps to buy more cords of wood to stoke the furnace in which he burns his HBO money in disdain for capitalist excesses and keep his Corolla well oiled. Maybe. Or maybe not.
