My Favorite Actress

My favorite actress? I suppose people would venture a number of wild guesses: Julia Roberts, even if only for her scene with Clooney in the restaurant in Ocean’s 11? What about Jenna Fischer for her tour de force in Blades of Glory? Parker Posey, of course more for her brilliance in Noah Baumbach’s Kicking and Screaming than her appearance in Tara Reid’s Josie and the Pussycats? Jessica Walter as Lucille Bluth on Arrested Development? Natalie Portman? Selma Blair? Jennifer Connelly? Charlize Theron?

All quality guesses—but no, no, no. My favorite actress is none other than my good friend Mayeti Gametchu who finally revealed her acting prowess to me a few days ago.

Above, see Mayeti play Sydney Marshall masterfully in the movie “Rubbers.”

In other news, I am listening to lots of New Found Glory and trying to write a poem titled “Impulsive Texts.”

Happy Friday.
