Tom Hanks has gone and saved a bride.
Who knew?
As if Tom Hanks needed to be any more of a creeper, he saw some woman on her wedding day when her wedding car got stopped because they tried to drive it through the Angels&Demons set. Tom Hanks said, "You are the most beautiful woman in the world today" yelled, "CUT!" and asked if he could escort her to her wedding. So basically he yelled "Cut" so the movie would top filming and he could get this woman to her wedding on time.
There are two things about this story I would like to point out.
1) Where's the flaming arrows? The monsters? The high speed car chase? If all you need to do is hold someones hand across a Piazza to be called a hero, I'm totally doing that next time I see someone trying to cross one. Of course if I did it, (me being, NOT Tom Hanks) I would probably get my face put in the papers as the Piazza-personal-space-invader. I don't think it would go over as well if I, or anyone else for that matter, tried it.
2) That is not fair. Tom Hanks basically butted in where her dad had been and made this the best day of this woman's life. Do you know HOW MANY people were probably getting married that SAME day? And had MUCH worse issues than getting stuck in some traffic? Not even traffic traffic. Famous movie set traffic. Tom Hanks really should have picked his battle more carefully. Gone for a burning building rescue or something.
So great. Now Tom Hanks is a bride rescuer. So long as your "distress" is something like...hmmm. NOT ACTUALLY REQUIRING HIS HELP AT ALL.
He also took the couple to the red carpet with him a year after the wedding.
Something feels like Tom Hanks is kind of pushing his way into these peoples' lives. Look out, hubby. TomHanks is GOING to move into your house.
Also in the news...
Ron Howard tried to get an author drunk. Something in the back of my mind wants to say "Oh Ronnie tried to get some guy drunk again. Better call the lawyers up." Just feels like something that might be recurring for some reason.
There's really not much to this story. Ron Howard tried to get Dan Brown drunk so that he would tell him the plot to his follow up books. The headline was much more entertaining than the actual story. So here it is again just for a good giggle:
"Ron Howard tries to get author drunk"
You're welcome.
Other than that, guess what-Jennifer Aniston hit the news again today. Not even a relevant story either. Some segue about how one of her ex-boyfriends made a terrible lame proposal. The article took one good chance to call her "unluck-in-love" again, even though it was totally out of context, and then blabbed a little bit about how happy she is to be in the limelight.
I think I should stay away from hollywood stories for a while. I'm becoming less and less impressed with every headline I read.
Although Ron Howard's line was good. Remind me to hang out with him more often.

Oprah, Dijon, KFC: America
First up this evening:
President Obama's burger topping sparks outrage.
Really?
Well. Apparently the media edited out his request for Dijon mustard (Grey Poupon, to me more SCANDALOUSLY specific.) in attempts to maintain his "man of the people" image.
I eat Dijon mustard...does that make me classy? No because I also put ketchup on my eggs and cut my jeans off in the summer. He wears designer suits, but isn't allowed to openly order dijon mustard? Welcome to the United States of America. Even Yahoo had a laugh at this one. Link.
Second: The list of this years most popular baby names has been released! We can all pop that champagne now. Here's the news: Emma and Jacob are the top names with a never before seen Alexander coming in a close 6 and another never before seen Chloe coming in at 10. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!!
Girls came in with a solid list of: Emma, Isabella, Emily, Madison, Ava, Olivia, Sophia, Abigail, Elizabeth, and Chloe.
Boys with: Jacob, Michael, Ethan, Joshua, Daniel, Alexander, Anthony, William, Christopher, and Matthew.
Now I would like to point out that this list. Is almost identical to every other year's list. These names have been around since Alexander the great, Daphnis and Chloe, William Shakespeare, Christopher Columbus, and so forth. Why do we bother with these lists? When you KNOW everyone's going to pick something like Radioscience or Mango. It's seeming more and more like the man's desperate attempt to keep people sane every year.
The next and last thing I have to say is this headline:
"KFC apologizes over Oprah coupon."
Need I say more?
I don't even understand this.
Hows that for news?

I am a romantic outcast.

This is a post, in dedication to Jennifer Aniston.
Why can't we all just leave her alone? She has no more love troubles than you or me or your neighbor, or your neighbor's son's roomate. For some reason, though, the entire media has hand picked her to be the "broken sad lonely" one who is always "out of love" again. Then all you need is a photo of her looking sad. Or even happy for that matter. Caption it with "Jen, heartbroken again, WHEN WILL SHE FIND LOVE?" or "Jen is staying strong, that's our girl!"
But I guess she IS strong in a way. In a way that she's good at ignoring all the media trying their hardest to make Brangelina her problem.
She's not 14, she's not a puppy, she's not a romantic outcast, and she's not a jealous ex-wife bitch. If she's those things, then so am I. Count me in.
Are you next to join the rebellion? (click)
I am a romantic outcast.
Note to media: Please stop running "Poor -Jennifer-Aniston" stories. They're taking up space.
While youre at it. Please stop running entire articles on what the first lady wore today. Qu'est-ce que le point?

You are my sunshine.
It's amazing the healing power of a couple hours of sun. Which is ironic seeing as enough hours of sun will give you Melanoma.
By now I figure its only a matter of time, for me, so until then...I still love the sun.
Somehow it always manages to take whatever problems you may have with your life and erase the. Although temporarily...I'LL TAKE IT.
And now I have come to realize that I am too relaxed to think or type.
So this is going to be the end of this entry.
Right now.
Here it is.
The end is coming.
This is it.
The end.
HAh.
