Reality Bites? Perhaps?
If you were reading my blog way back in the day, you know that despite my general dislike (!) of reality television, I was highly amused by the Joe Schmo Show series, probably because the show was not just a great prank but a pretty vicious parody of reality TV. You also know that during Season 2, I became a huge fan of the female "mark" for their Bachelor/ette spoof, Ingrid Wiese. I thought she was smart -- too smart to be on a reality show, actually -- funny, independent, took no spit from anyone... and okay fine, being the sucker for blondes that I am, I also thought she was drop dead gorgeous. (But I swear that her personality on the show really made the attraction for me!) I did a couple of quick posts during the show's run two summers ago about both the show and about Ingrid's immediate presence on my top ten list.
Fast forward to my comment review tonight (the best feature of Movable Type is the junk comment filter that at least separates the spamments out and lets me easily delete them...)... I see one posted to an entry from August 2004 - long before I even switched over to this template. I thought, "Hello, what's this?" As it turns out, the comment was on my last Joe Schmo 2 post... and was signed "Ingrid." Okay, I thought: Doc is jerking me around again, in the same way that he comments on other posts as "Ashley Olsen" or whatever. Either that, or it's a really mischevious spammer. But out of curiousity, I decided to play along, and clicked over to the blog that "Ingrid" claimed as her own -- fully expecting to land on an online casin0 or to be offered some bogus m0rtgage deals.
Gad zookes, it looks kinda legit. This would obviously score very high on the Holy Spit-ometer for comments I never expected to get.
Maybe it's not legit. Probably not. It could still be Doc playing around. If it's actually the real person though, I have my first semi-famous person commenting on this blog. Would be kinda cool.

You give me hope that I should continue posting photos of Joaquin Phoenix ;)
Looks legit to skeptical me as well.

Well hey there to you too, fellow New Yorker!
Happy to shout out to you, and welcome back to both blogging and to my blog as well. I'll keep shouting out from time to time, and I hope you'll be back as well.
