Laga, would a flashlight help for when he turns off the light, since it sounds like he will.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. You could see to open the door, and then you'd have a handy blunt weapon to smash his head in with, once you'd got inside

Scrappy, you're friends with Tracy Letts?! Cool! I've done several shows with him.

I almost worked on August: Osage County at Steppenwolf but I had a conflict. I'm currently assisting the lighting designer for that show. All through focus we were teasing her about thanking us when she accepts her Tony.

Aw, this is fun: [link]

Gosh, but Will Smith is pretty. And by pretty I mean porn.

...anybody seen I Am Legend yet? If it's on, I think I may have to go see it. If not, maybe I'll do the Beowulf IMAX show...

yah I still remember where I was the moment I realized Will Smith is hawt.

I was scared when I heard my roommate was looking for a new place but now that I know that fell through I really wish he would. He keeps turning off the porch light to save energy. OK I guess that makes sense but I have told him several times that I don't feel comfortable coming home to a dark house and I have trouble unlocking the door in the dark.

I'm having some problems getting used to living with an extreme extrovert, but he has so many good qualities I'm really trying. One of his best? Any time I am not home when he gets home, he thinks to turn on the porch light for me. Every. Time. And he does not even go in the house that way.

The weather here has been getting cold, with a bit of snow, but nothing major. My office is still ridiculously overheated, though, so I'm dressing in layers, so that I can wear just a t-shirt and jeans when I'm in there.

I got Lego Mindstorms for Chanukah! I can make robots! (Yes, it's a kids toy. No, I don't care. It's fun.)

I guess I'd hit it, but he's no Idris Elba. That dude can be hot without using his own accent, and can make me have thoughts like "what's a little heroin, in the larger scheme of things?" Not to take anything away from Mr. Smith, though.

{{merea}} It was good to see you today, but I am so sorry yo have met to many of the thoughtless people in the world. It seems sad to me that you are meeting people that you have to remind of basic manners ' call me if you can't make it, I really appreciate courtesy'.

and for everyone who has doubted that the Bean has big eyes and lethal cuteness - it is all true. We got to see a bunch of the Seattle folk today and I think I spent most of my time watching lily - of course , you never know when the young will turn on their elders and decide that humans are food.

How does he play in person?

It was hard to judge. I only had a minute or two with him. He shook my hand!
