Mr. Kinsley

Here in LA, all schools were open for a normal business day. We were instructed that if the kids brought it up, that it was OK to talk about it with them, but otherwise don't force it. They didn't bring it up for a week, except for that morning when one of the boys said, "I hear there's another plane headed for LA!" (He was actually excited about that prospect.) Time magazine has a monthly school version called TIME for Kids. They had a special issue about 9/11 for their next edition. When we were looking at it in class one of my girls came up to me and said, "If you want I can bring in the

Funny. I thought it was uber-conservative kooks. You know, the type who think we shouldn't have any government whatsoever and we should all join our local militia group. Unless you were being sarcastic. Then, nevermind.

The thing that I didn't know about that movie that I just learned from that letter is that Scholastic Book Clubs is going to distribute the movie to schools as an educational tool. Before I was kind of taking a 'well, if you don't like it, don't watch it' approach, but this changes everything. The amount of people coming forward about this who've had dealings with the production, who're saying that a big chunk of it is fictionalized is absolutely terrifying. As for the CNN coverage, I plan to TiVo it. I wasn't watching TV that morning. I was in a school, expecting to go in to help turn b

#2 in a landslide. Don't be reee-deeeeeec-ulous.

Definitely the Carl's $6 burger. The only fast food that I feel like I'm getting real food. The combo of sweet and dill pickles is genius.

Flick, If ever there was a time for your bong-hit smiley, it would be now. Thanks, Mr. K

Sleeping off a UCLA girl?

This is blowing my mind... and stuff.

You didn't see this lady. And it's not just her - it's friggin' everyone in the whole damn mall! Now I understand what it feels like to be famous... sort of.

I realize nobody here is my real target audience, but I'll say it anyway as a sort of PSA: Just because my babies are cute does not mean you get to touch their hands, feet, or faces. Especially if you happen to be the rather un-washed looking crazy woman that I keep running into at the supermarket and mall. Yes, I know you like babies. But I like babies that aren't going to catch typhoid fever from your smelly ass. OK. Carry on.

Is it extra to get a room that is wrestle-ready? Either way, please get said room.

The fact that ction might actually have sigs on did actually occur to me as a possibility. A possibility I quickly dismissed with a, "Mmm... naaaaah." Damn, damn, double-damn.

I don't think we should be talking about this.

"Hey!... When did I eat corn?"

Who knew Wayne Coyne had such a nice rack?

I rather enjoy reading all the signatures. They're like a little extra seasoning sprinkled on top of everyone's posts.

Have a great B-day!

Sir Stew- I'm seeing a ton of commercials on the telly for "your" movie. It was The Departed that you were an extra in, right?

Hey, hey, HEY!!! Let's not get all crazy and start baggin' on my man Geddy. It's all just comparing apples/oranges/and... whatever the hell they grow in Canada. With the Canadian fruit being far superior here. Uh, maybe "Canadian fruit" isn't exactly the way to go there. You get the point though.

Well, I guess this is what I get for not turning on the computer all weekend. Hope it was a good one and that you sold lots of paintings!

Happy Birthday to the charter memeber of A-man's posse! Have a bead-utiful birthday! OK, that last one was kind of a stretch, but you get the idea.

I'm waiting anxiously yet patiently for a splendid mix from ction!

And I thought you were his friend!

I say try to remind Ernesto of all the fun you had in Key West, and how you've really learned your lesson on the rain and strong winds. (Just raining's OK, though!) The South Florida part of your trip sounded fantastic. I love that area and can't wait to go back. Any pics? (No Jude, not THOSE kind of pics! )

'Pretty' might be overstating it a scosh there big fella.
