I would have pegged her as maybe 5 years older than that. I find it hard to believe she is younger than I am.

Sounds nice. The article also says that she's 36. Does that sound right to you?

Yep. She was a baby-faced 23 or 24 when the X Files started up, which was my freshman year of college, which was 12 years ago.

IMDB said something like 42 -- I think that he is in his 30s.

I think she's a couple years older than that.

It kinda gives you hope that people like him are out there, and can actually reach the consciousness of the media. So refreshing to hear someone like him speak instead of the pompous neocons.

This is a big part of what I love about Jon Stewart -- you don't see these guys on many other shows. And by "these guys" I'm including Howard Zinn, too.

Timelies,

Gronk. Stupid vents.

It's actually 31 degrees here. (23 with windchill). After the last few days it feels positively balmy. I was walking into work this morning and actually felt over-dresssed for the weather. We also got a couple inches of snow last night.

OK, why do the policy makers always make exceptions to sound policy that are a technical nightmare to implement? They keep doing this to me. I keep explaining the way the technical end works. They keep giving me nightmares.

Because they are dumb? We've had a bunch of fights about policy stuff here but since we're healthcare and thus must obey HIPPA regulations, the retort "Fine. And then you can be arrested and pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines." generally settles things pretty quick. The stuff that doesn't fall under those regulations, my boss (well, boss' boss now) is still pretty good about shutting people down over, thankfully. We still get the occaisional idiocy, but at least it's not a constant thing.

And now I'm off to a meeting about some security hardware that's been nothing but a headache since it was implemented 2 years ago. Whee.

My first reaction to Peter Jackson adapting The Lovely Bones was hells no. Then I remembered Heavenly Creatures. Maybe he won't fuck it up after all?

Yes, it's hard to argue with, "The law says you have to."

Kat, since I didn't like the book, I don't mind if he fucks with it. I'm curious. He can do slow and sad ... I'd like it if he could do the sort I like, with the same story.

Which would probably have book fans screaming for blood, but isn't it really all about me?

Wearing the boots to work today.

Snowing here too. Whee!!
