From Frying Pan to Audit
Feb. 29th, 2008 04:28 pmOh, man. Remember how Jeff Conaway was spiralling into a sewer? Well, now, he's off the drugs and high on Thetan Auditing.
Dinner with Dr. Franklin
Apr. 5th, 2007 05:12 pmOf course, I post my own instead of as a comment. Duh.
The advantage of being married to a SMOF is that occasionally you get to meet interesting people. In this case, Cynra ran a con where Richard Biggs, who played Dr. Franklin on B5, was one of the guests.
One year, Rick was in town for SFX, and he asked Cindy to help him man his booth, taking cash while he doled out intergalactic charm. And a charmer he was, let me tell you. I had a Stephen Franklin card I wanted to get him to sign, but never got the opportunity to; he instead signed a B5 card I pulled out of a booster (literally, the only card I could find with his picture on it) "Thanks for letting me use your wife". What a charmer.
Anyway, to thank her for the help he took us and a few other people from the con out to dinner at an Irish place down the road. He bought us all a round of tequila, but sine Cynra &![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
redeem147 can't/don't drink Tequila, I ended up getting three.
It was a nice dinner, and he was a friendly guy. And, unlike that awkward time at another SFX, I at least knew who he was.

Night of The Living Straczynski
Jan. 3rd, 2007 02:58 pmIn a Usenent post, somene asked Joe if he was writing the script for the World War Z movie adaptation.
His only response? "There's nothing I can say about it at this time."
I'm torn between "denial ain't just a river in Egypt" and "not saying no doesn't always mean yes, but it usually doesn't mean no".

May. 25th, 2006 05:46 pmWow. The stuff you learn on the Internet.
Apparently Jeff Conaway, who played Zack on B5 was on a vh1 reality show called Celebrity Fit Club. He left the show midway through because apparently he had to go to drug rehab.
There's more details here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_Fit_Club#Season_three_-_2006
but I've clipped some of the relevant bits below.
Quote:
In a flashback, Jeff showed up at Fit Camp on Day 15 in a bad condition. Dr. Ian Smith showed up to check on Jeff's condition in the hopes that he's well enough to compete. Jeff can't talk straight. Jeff can't walk straight. He can't even walk on his heels, which he blames on flat feet. Ian asks why Jeff's like this. Jeff blames it on the two Benadryl he took. Ian told Jeff he knows that two Benadryl alone do not produce Jeff's stupor. Back at the weigh-in, Jeff apologizes half-heartedly for taking two Benadryl and for being Jeff Conaway. Ian asks about Jeff's medications, recalling Jeff's supposed Benadryl
blitz. Jeff says he also takes muscle relaxers. He claims to have been clean and sober for fifteen of the last twenty years.
On another episode, Jeff melts down, saying "You can take your ****in' show and shove it up your ****in' ass." He later apologizes again, this time to Kelly. He once again blames the Benadryl for his loopiness. Chastity comes out and tells Jeff that the group thinks
he's on drugs. Jeff says he's only on prescriptions. Chas lets Jeff know that she was taking only prescriptions when she became addicted to them. She was in constant pain, too, but she came out of it, and encourages Jeff to do the same.
After his temper tantrum in the last episode, Dr. Linda Papadopoulis, scheduled a one-on-one with Jeff the following evening. However, he never showed up. Instead, he was rushed to the ER after a near-fatal night of painkillers and alcohol. After his release, Jeff explains that it was his birthday and he celebrated by taking too many benzoids
while he was drunk. He remembers waking up surrounded by paramedics. Later that day, he makes a visit to addiction specialist and Loveline co-host Dr. Drew Pinsky. Dr. Drew learns that Jeff is on one to three Norco, which is equivalent to six Vicodin, and six two-mg Xanax a day. As Dr. Drew says, he needs to stay in a hospital to detox from that
much Xanax.

Spicy stuff, eh?
