On Age And Aging

I saw the new Hugh Grant movie this weekend and noticed how old he was looking.
In a twist of fate, the next day I stumbled across an old manila envelope that had pictures of me from 1993. I showed it to someone who noted "you were handsome."
That past tense kinda stuck with me.

Slow Weekend . . . How About Some Cameraman Carnage
The slow motion is what makes it entertaining. And everyone surrounds the guy like he's just been shot in after a drive-by.

Google Needs To Work On Its Text Parsing
I have a google news alert sent up for several local officials in the county. It is supposed to send me fresh news stories, but I often get a bunch of old ones. The above screenshot s is what I received today about Sheriff David Walker. That first one made me do a double take. But, rest assured, our Sheriff is still above reproach. (Link to that first story is here.)Edit: A couple of comments haven't made it through the very detailed screening process. First, you can't call him that in a family friendly forum. And, sir, those Channel 4 reporter rumors need to be documented with seedy photographs.

I Think We Can Have It Both Ways

Congress passed a non-binding resolution today, 246-182, telling the President that sending more troops to Iraq is not-a-good.
I spent 10 minutes trying to find out how our representative voted but had no luck. (What's up with this Internet thing?) The best I could find was the above quote. I'm guessing she sides with W.
This Was Crazy

This little girl was on The Today Show this morning for this reason: She has had a violent case of the hiccups for three weeks and they won't go away. All I had time for was to see the "teases" to the segment and there she sat, hiccupping in the most painful of ways.
It was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. (Ok, maybe an overstatement, but it was pretty sad.)
NBC has the video up on its website (and is surprisingly fast loading.)
Any Bets . . .
. . .on whether this teen beats down her classmates with her sanctimonious attitude? "Declaring . . . unclean?" Sheesh.(DMN Letters to the Editor.)
Two Things . . .

. . . people ask me about that I'm not particularly interested in:
The Daytona 500 (lots of cheatin' goin' on there, hoss)
and
Contaminated Peanut Butter (everyone I know has discovered a half eaten jar with the dreaded 2111 product code in their house - including my office - and not one of them has become ill.)
Shows That Made Me Laugh Last Night

The Sarah Silverman Show. (I'm not sure I've ever seen a comedy episode based upon the premise of "I have AIDS" before.)
The Gordon Keith Show. (The "man on the street" interviews with the people of Farmers Branch were priceless.)
Two Headlines From The Star-Telegram This Morning
Stay Classy, San Diego
There's just something funny about KXAS's Mike Synder saying, "You want some of this?"
