Lloyd Dobler Effect

I must confess, I love John Cusack. I’m not stalkeriffic or anything, just enamored. He’s tall, intelligent, quirky and has hands that can palm a basketball with no effort. I am mature enough to know that he is not the personification of Lloyd Dobler, which is okay with me because I would prefer Martin Q. Blank from Grosse Pointe Blank, or better yet Rob Gordon from High Fidelity.

I recently saw the Inside the Actors Studio episode with John and decided that I wanted to hang out with him. You know, maybe catch a Cub’s game. There are a few people with whom I’d like to hang: Heidi Klum, Tori Amos, and John Cusask. I understand that it probably won’t happen, but a girl’s gotta have dreams.

So I started thinking, how many people are obsessed with John Cusask? Well, apparently there are many. In fact, one woman went far enough to be stalkeriffic. That’s above and beyond, in my mind. On the opposite end of the spectrum is the band, Lloyd Dobler Effect. They’re out of DC and are pretty good. Unfortunately, they seem to skip Indiana on their tours, so sad. I think their style is certainly worthy of a show at Birdy’s in Bloomington or the Music Mill in Indianapolis. It’s good stuff.
