In the news recently, it was reported that potential employers are now starting to google the names of their candidates to see what all pops up. Then they can use the information found, may it be the person’s site, blog, or comments posted elsewhere, to help with their hiring decisions. Well, am I screwed because I’m out and about in the Webosphere? Google me and you’ll find this blog among other things. You’ll find my post on Omidyar during Katrina as I was trying to help out. You’ll find comments I have sent to Thailand’s newspapers. You’ll find my day...

Don’t have time to get into all the details now but here’s one funny nugget. It’s Farmers Market day in Downtown LA. So Celeste asked me to read off the ingredients from a recipe so she could create a grocery list. Me: One pound button mushrooms. Celeste: Button mushrooms? Which ones are those? Me: The round, white kind. You know, the regular ones. Celeste: Oh. Okay. Me: One head garlic. An onion. Celeste: What kind of onion. Me: Chopped. Heh. Now I have to compile my list. Company potluck is Friday so we’re getting our ingredients today....

A quote from this morning’s “Weird News” story about a cat who stowed away on a fertilizer truck through US-Canada border: “She’s the sweetest illegal immigrant we’ve ever met.” That reminds me of my high school year book where Don Culkins wrote: “You’re the best import ever.” Yes.

We weren’t close but, as high school theater participants...

Perhaps I’m the last person on earth to realize this, but the mega hit “Don’t know why” by Norah Jones is a dirty, dirty, DIRTY song! Gosh. And to think everyone falls for the sultry, sweet voice and mellow melodies. Read the frelling lyrics! I waited ’til I saw the sun I don’t know why I didn’t come I left you by the house of fun I don’t know why I didn’t come I don’t know why I didn’t come When I saw the break of day I wished that I could fly away Instead of kneeling in the sand...

We’ve decided to dive in with the current LOST episodes. We just finished all of season one DVDs this weekend, and we had last week’s TIVO’ed. I couldn’t wait to find out what’s going on any more. So, last night, we jumped ahead with what we missed so far with Season 2, and hit “play”. Oh, we soooo have to read up on what we’ve missed. We got the gist of what’s in the button, the alarm, and the hatch. We understand where Michelle Rodriguez come from but we have yet to find out how they found them, and we...
