Awww. Emeline is so sweet. And yet (and I totally, seriously mean this as a compliment) she's not even super-photogenic. Pictures of her give you an idea of her cutiefulness, but the actual three-dimensional Emeline is exponentially more graceful and elegant and gorgeous. She's gonna grow up to be the female Matt: someone whose pictures wow you until you meet them in person, and then you're just completely flattened by the "this-charisma-goes-to-eleven" force of their full gorgeousness.
Also, something about her bone structure makes her look so much like her father in pictures, but in real life she's a beautiful balance of both Joe and Aimée, with a big healthy dose of looking exactly like her own unique self and nobody else.
And even so--such cutiehead pictures!
ION, I feel all twitchy and nervous. Trevor Hoffman, a pitcher for the Padre,s was here reading stories to the kids, and I went and talked to him for a few minutes, showed him a picture of Emmett, and got him to sign pictures for Emmett and for my friend's son Max, who is autistic (this guy has friends with an autistic child and has appeared at some benefits in San Diego). I'd never heard of him before. I don't even like baseball that much. And I'm still all residually nervous and meltdowny. Just dumb.
ita! CF has a pilot for scifi?
I like the premise of the pilot, but isn't this what happens already in Buffistaland?
The resulting collection of brainpower has led to a way of life years ahead of the rest of the world,

Ayup! He's been up north for a week now. I think the premise has promise (promisey premise), and it seems like he has good ideas they're letting him air.
My fingers are crossed.

Very cool. Hoffman has been one of the better relievers in baseball for quite a few years now.

They're filming on location in Eureka?
I wondered if there really was a Eureka, but there are probably a bunch, huh?
Eureka, but there are probably a bunch
At least one

It's the biggest town (ha!) near my alma mater
I bet there's at least one in California, and considering Ohio has a Zanesville and a Xenia, why not a Eureka too?
Very good "reader, I found it for him" story. Less fun -- or, if you're in the right mood and your user is patient -- are the ones that are total not-dead-end stumpers. I once spent half an hour verifying where the city of Medjugorje is (now in Bosnia), and which of five spellings of this city might be the most common in English, so that I might search the catalog for a book on the Virgin of Medjugorje. The nice little old lady I was helping was amazed and interested in the step-by-step process, and because she was a little old lady, she wasn't in any hurry.
Would you believe, there was no entry on this particular virgin in the Catholic Encyclopedia? Humph.
