Metajohn laments my mockery of Erik's laments. ¡Oy!

I'm so tired this morning, I stayed up too late watching old Paul Newman movies on AMC last night. I really enjoyed The Young Philadelphians, man is Paul Newman HOT! (oh, and it was a good movie.)

Erik laments Texas' execution of a woman and a juvenile, and GWs mockery of an inmate's plea for mercy. I guess Erik just doesn't get compassionate conservatism and pro life, now does he?

Email is like presents.

Thank God we can now search the Blogger blogs! I wasn't able to waste enough time during the day just checking the Recently Updated Blogs list.

Ah, this looks like a familiar scene: Dunkies and snow (no silly, not the Gores!)

I just bought the Pledge Grab-It and it rocks! But there was no URL on the box. Silly people. When will they learn? I used it right after I'd swept the floor, and it "grabbed" all kinds of dust and cat hair my broom had missed. And without the noisy blowing of the vacuum!

Bummer, one of my favorite bars in Boston, the Bow & Arrow, is closing next month after 25 years. If you saw Good Will Hunting, you may remember the scene with the confrontation between Will and the Harvard snob. That was filmed there. What makes me sad is that building is being closed for renovations and when it reopens in a few months, the rent will be raised. The only tenants that will be able to afford the new space will be another chain restaurant or boutique funded by some mega-conglomerate with no character. Every day Harvard Square turns more and more into everyplace else.

OK, so I seem to begin my posts with OK, as in, "OK, we're in the middle of a conversation, you and I, and now I'm about the change the subject…"

So I mentioned that I wanted to do a Spanish version of megnut (now called "megnuez" because nuez is Spanish for nut) and I received a bunch of encouraging emails, so I've done it. And it's probably rife with errors. But I'm not going to worry about that, or let that stop me. So now you can read megnut in English or Spanish, whatever your fancy. And I may just post some things on the Spanish version that I don't post in the English version…

OK, I'm not going to go into how I stumbled across this on the web, that's not important. What is important is you can read people's accounts of seeing stars out and about in the real world and you can post your celebrity sightings too! And then if you read this long enough, you can begin to anticipate stars' movements and increase your probability of running into a real live movie star. I don't even know why that thought entered my head, or why it would be of interest to anyone. I apologize.
