What's up with this seeing a celebrity thing?

Sort of a cool celeb sighting, Tuesday night, folks. Al Franken swung by Brother Jimmy's on the west side to pick up some take-out, as I was guzzling Jack & Diet Coke's there.

He is really quite tiny, by the way.

Sadly, few there really recognized him. And, unlike some shameless people I know (cough), I am embarassed to approach celebrities in public, so, I didn't even say: nice job with the books, or Air America.

So sad, yet so not awkward. Meanwhile, I have friends, well one friend in particular, who go nuts in the presence of celebrities. I was with her one night and she literally froze in her tracks when she thought she saw a guy who maybe played Samantha Jones' boyfriend in "Sex and the City."

And, needless to say, it wasn't even him, but boy, was that a deer caught in the headlight moment. She literally froze. I never saw anything like it. Fascinating.

What do you mean tiny? How tiny?

Come on, don't celebrities like being asked for their autographs or for pictures? Why else would they be in a position where they go to a restaurant to get take out like that?
