Howard noticed that Artie was popping a lot of Subutex this morning and asked if he was stressed out. Artie said he was really stressed because of the next 2 days.

Day 1 - Photo shoot

Artie is going to a photo shoot today for his upcoming book, Too Fat To Fish, and he is complaining that he is obese now and he doesn’t want a depressing book cover that lasts for ever. He kept coming up with reasons for not doing it, for instance, he has no clothes. What the hell - is this not show business?! Won’t there be wardrobe? The photographer suggested maybe putting Artie in a row boat in the Hudson river.

What the fuck Artie?!

Ya know for a funny, creative guy - Artie doesn’t try to do anything new. He was mentioning just using the same old picture he uses for everything (oddly enough taken by Dana) instead of a brand new photo. Even his comedy has been recycled for so long.

Day 2 - Letterman

The other stressful thing Artie has is the Late Show with David Letterman tomorrow.
