Shannon's family blog entry - her boy Will likes me! He really likes me!
When we were in Tahoe, we were treated to a visit by our good friend Lauren. We hadn't seen her in about 4 years.
The kids were very excited to be with her. They quizzed her several times about her car (green Volvo), pets (none) and marital status (single). Lauren assured Will she will marry someone awesome, adding Will will certainly love him.
In the car today. . .
Will: Do you have Lauren's number?
Shannon: Yes. Do you want to call her?
W: Yes.
S: To chat or do you have something to tell her?
W: I have something to tell her. I want to tell her she should marry someone who doesn't not shave.
S: Who shaves or doesn't shave?
W: Shaves. 'Cause I don't like people with beards.

Please forgive me
As we sit on the cusp of the Day of Atonement, I ask that you please forgive me in case I have trangressed against you in the past year.
From today's NYT
I’ve occasionally heard Dane Cook, one of the stars of “Good Luck Chuck,” described as a comedian. I find this confusing, since my understanding is that comedians are people who say and do things that are funny. Perhaps Mr. Cook is some new kind of conceptual satirist whose shtick is to behave in the manner of a person attempting to be funny without actually being, you know, funny. Or maybe he answered an ad in the back of a magazine and sent away for a mail-order license to practice comedy.
Whether Jessica Alba, his co-star, acquired her acting credentials by similar means is an issue that will be addressed if she ever tries to act. To be fair (but why?) she does expend a little effort in “Good Luck Chuck,” pretending to be goofy and clumsy, doing stuff like running into a metal pole, catching her skirt in a car door and upending a tray of dentist’s instruments.
But the main audience for this dim little sex comedy has no particular interest in seeing Ms. Alba act. They want to see her in her underwear and also to confront one of the central cultural questions of our time: will she take her top off?
No spoilers here! In the meantime plenty of less famous women do take their tops off, which will make “Good Luck Chuck” a must-see for young men with a subscription to Maxim but no access to the Internet.Wednesday, September 19, 2007

"this weekend"
OK, let's say it's Monday and you use "this weekend" in a sentence. Do you mean the weekend that just passed or the weekend that is forthcoming?
And speaking of this weekend, can't wait to see this guy up in Santa Barbara tomorrow (and no, I won't be at Oprah's.)

HR people
HR people sort of freak me out. They seem to be in their own secret club with their own secret hand shake and their own secret language. I was on the phone with this one woman who was setting up an interview with this dude my boss wants to hire and she called him "the candidate" like 4 times in 2 minutes. It just rolled off her tongue as though it's perfectly normal to refer to this person, whose name we all know, as "the candidate." Umm, we out here in the real world don't talk like that, crazy lady.
Our latest campaign
This is not for wider distribution yet, not that you would, but it is pretty funny. I had a tiny hand in this but for the most part, it's the handiwork of some of my brilliant blogger buddies.

Hahahahahaha
Check out CNN's blog:
The blogs DailyKos and MyDD.com, both influential voices in Democratic politics, blasted Richardson after he said Iowa should be the first state in the nation to hold caucuses because of, among other justifications, "reasons related to the Lord."Guess it got back to him.
After that comment hit the Web, Todd Beeton at MyDD.com wrote that "Richardson has demonstrated a keen ability to stick his foot in his mouth."
Markos Moulitsas at DailyKos wrote that "Richardson is really becoming the buffoon of this campaign."
"Bloggers say a lot of things. They are an important part of the democratic process," Richardson said. "But no, I didn't put my foot in my mouth. I stand by what I said. I make no apologies about it. Iowa is important, just like South Carolina and New Hampshire."
Public Service Announcement
I just redesigned my office and brought out some old office decorations from Cincinnati. People here don't like to recycle, so I'm hoping this inspires them.

The bull down the block
Unfortunately he's tied up in the far corner of the pic. Two days ago when he was roaming free, he came right over and licked my arm. Multiple times. If you can picture Jabba the Hut licking his lips, you're 90% there.
