Specifically, that means that, as of today, all three Beastie Boys are now officially in their forties.
I know that this is Halloween and all, but this is more depressing than scary.

"It could be nice to be alive"
On this day in 1966, Adam Horovitz, otherwise known as Ad Rock, was born in South Orange, New Jersey.
Specifically, that means that, as of today, all three Beastie Boys are now officially in their forties.
I know that this is Halloween and all, but this is more depressing than scary.

Criswell predicts!
In Fametracker's latest Galaxy of Fame piece, which concerned celebrity spouses, they presented these two fictitious quotes:
"Hi, I'm Ryan Phillippe, serious actor. How serious? I was the star of this year's Best Picture Oscar winner, Crash. And now, I'm the star of Flags Of Our Fathers, the latest film from two-time Best Director Oscar winner Clint Eastwood. I am a big, big deal. Can someone please tell my wife so that she'll let me choose what restaurant we go to or pick out colours for the new living room design she's paying for?"And then later that morning via the Associated Press ...
"Hi, I'm Reese Witherspoon. My husband said what? ... No, whatever -- did you say 'my husband'? I could swear we fired that guy back in May. I have to make a call."
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, who started the year on an Oscar-winning high, are ending it on a low note: The couple have separated.
"We are saddened to announce that Reese and Ryan have decided to formally separate," publicist Nanci Ryder said in a statement issued Monday on behalf of the couple.
New 7 Wonders
A coworker yesterday told me about New 7 Wonders, which is a website where you can vote for a new set of Seven Wonders of the World. Six of the original seven are no longer standing, leaving the Egyptian Pyramids all be their lonesome.
Oddly enough, they included the Pyramids in the voting. I think that they should be a given for the new set and we should only vote on six to replace the ones that are gone. It's the least we can do for all that slave labor that died building the damn things.
Go and vote. Spread the word. It may be the best part of your Monday morning.

Notes on a Scandal
I can imagine Judi Dench as playing pretty much anything, from 007's boss to an alien ambassador to two different Queens back to back.
But a septuagenarian lesbian stalker?!?! Yes, folks, she can pull off anything.

Remember, Remember, The Month of November
Venturing where, I'm sure, many other bloggers have ventured before, I am going to participate in National Novel Writing Month in November. You can see the link to it right below the "Links" header on the right side of the blog. Mrs. Mosley introduced me to the idea in September, and I decided to take her up on it.
All this means that after the obligatory Forest Whitaker Quote and maybe another LEGO post, I'll be signing off for 30 days. So be forewarned!
All three of you.

LOAD "*" , 8 , 1
The two big blue cardboard boxes have sat in my mother's sewing room pretty much since I graduated High School fifteen years ago. There they sat, untouched by anyone. Then this past weekend I took a notion to rid my folks of the extra clutter by bringing it home and deciding what to do with it. Just in case, I went ahead with unpacking the boxes and hooking everything up ... and I'll be damned if that the thing still works.
Of course, a number of the disks seem to have deteriorated past the ability to play, but some of the most memorable ones still work.
I was able to pick up where I left off maybe sixteen, seventeen years ago with my party of six adventurers (Named "Palin", "Cleese", "Jones", "Gilliam", "Chapman" & "Idle") and go roving about the countryside killing Giant Bees and such. I mean, really, why blow your money on a PSP2 when you have stuff like this around the house?
