“Alex, I’ll take Potpourri for $100.”

When you don’t update your blog for a month, you're lazy. You’re also bound to create a mish mash of scrambled observations and takes so random that reading it’s akin to watching a “Family Guy” montage with a hangover. Here we go...

• Thank god for Harry Hagar…..Richmond hasn’t been in “US Weekly” since someone stole Cher’s wig from backstage at the Landmark Theater back in 2003.
  
• The best thing about the writers’ strike? Jay Leno’s lawn finally gets the attention it deserves. The worst thing? Billy Bush is the freshest thing out there…it’s like only being able to choose a mate from the cast of “Golden Girls.”
  
• Most likely place in the River City to inhale asbestos while watching “Fred Claus?” The West Tower movie theater on West Broad Street, of course!
  
• Best place in Richmond to feel like you’re not in Richmond? The new tapas bar Si in the Fan. It makes Europa look and taste like a South Side Applebee’s.
