Carl


Ed at home with his mini Up faces (I finally made him a set), which are now hanging in his office.

I stole Carl's glasses, and was blind! ;)

Every time I'm in LA I try to pay a visit to my pal, Ed Asner. I think I see him more than most of my close friends, so I guess that puts him in the bestie category! I met Ed back in 2009 at the Up wrap party and we've kept in touch ever since. He enjoys hitting me with his cane, making fun of my grandma driving, and giving me a hard time about being single.

Our visits usually consist of a variety of hijinks: prank calling in his home office, petting his cats Chyna, Roast, and Wheezy, watching cat fights in his backyard, chasing neighbors in my rental car, and gossiping about Hollywood at our favorite LA restaurant: Musso & Frank Grill. Each time I see Ed, he comes up with the most hysterical sayings. I started jotting them down because they're too good to forget:

"Excuse me, my diuretic is working." --re: having to go to the bathroom
"Open the goddam door!" --re: taking too long to open the car door
"She is about as alien as she speaks." --re: Shirley MacLaine (my fav actress)
"The only thing tight is my wallet." 
"I'm a womanizer."
