so busy! but i still need to share my new favorite passage. because i love you.
According to Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence once said that Balzac was "a gigantic dwarf," and in a sense the same is true of Dickens.

(George Orwell, "Charles Dickens")

also "no one wants to play sega with harrison ford" - also because i love you.

    well, maybe if he hadn't made "firewall," they'd play with him.

    Or "Air Force One." Good God--he has been party to some clunky stuff in his time. Can't begrudge a cash-in every now and then, though.

    both of those have great crotchety old man tag lines - GET OFF MY PLANE! (air force one) and YOU WON'T GET A DIME! (firewall). i think his evil girlfriend calista flockhart makes him do the crappy flicks so she can drape her skeletal frame with jewels. GO BACK TO HELL, ALLY MCBEAL!

  6. oh, harry - it all went downhill when he got his ear pierced in his late 40s. and we're all a bit more jaded than we were when he was han.

    on an completely unrelated note, jack white, of white stripes fame, and his model wife, have named their daughter scarlett.

    i mean, jesus. why!?!

    my favorite celebabynamer is still penn jillette (his daughter's named moxie crimefighter), though admittedly he could have tried a little harder to tie that in with his job. jack white makes you look lazy, penn!

    i had a nifty celeb name generator link, but i done lost it. please accept a patronus generator (a la harry potter) in its place.

    (my patronus is a marten. fuzzy.)
