I have a plan.

Billy Crystal is on right now. He's always a hoot and an anny.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

That Netflix Bunny brought me the Ben Stiller Show.

Dear CHRIST, is that shit ever dated now. There is, as I told Paul, such a thing as being overly-rooted in The Now. (esp. when The Now = Plei's Senior Year in High School, cause then I feel OLD.)

What is even happening?

Mmmmm hmmmm. Have you heard the song "1985"? Also, the talk upstream about Melinda Clark made me feel old, even though ita quickly realized MC's age. I knew she was my age-ish. I think her playing a parent role on The O.C. might have been one of my less conscious reasons for not tuning it in. It seems like yesterday she was an ingénue on Days of Our Lives.

move out and draw fire

It's not so much the feeling old for me as it is the time dilation. Songs that I thought were oldies in high school were 10 years old, maybe...songs that are 10 years old now I think of as new-ish. I think "Hell Freezes Over" by The Eagles is a new album, yet more time has elapsed since it came out than elapsed between the first time I heard "Hotel California" and when it's re-visit on "Hell Freezes Over" came out.

Amusing news item: [link]

110 Powerball winners, claiming at least $100,000 a piece. Was the clue to be found on Lost? No. Perhaps on The Young and the Restless? Nope. It was in the cookies. Mmmm cookies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Morning, y'all. Just a little hung over, which is good, since I have to work today.

Billy Crystal looks terrible, I think -- he's right up on my list of why not to have a lot of plastic surgery.

I knew she was my age-ish. I think her playing a parent role on The O.C. might have been one of my less conscious reasons for not tuning it in.

I like that about The OC, actually -- parents of high school kids aren't necessarily middle aged and shlumpy.

From your fingertips to God's ears, Jesse. I just felt old seeing someone I still think of as new, and young, playing a parent of teens. Mark my words, when Alyson Hannigan, SMG, or CC is the mom on a teen centered soap in five years' time, you'll know.

But I know I could reasonably be the parent of a ten-year-old already. There are people I was in high school with who have kids in high school now. I'm good with that. I know I'll be a middle-aged parent of a high schooler, but not everyone is.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I went to a basketball game at my old high school and ran into a guy I went to grade school with. He laughed and told me his oldest boy was on JV. I'm standing there holding Owen, trying to calculate how old I'll be when he gets to high school.
