This came fromReenotoday:
Some people are like slinkies,
They don’t really serve a purpose,
But it still brings a smile to your face
When you push them down the
stairs.
Sound logic can be so funny sometimes.
Forget about partisan bullshit. Here's the real
question: do you want people spying on you without
permission? Could that be construed as preserving
freedom? Probably not.
The upcoming SNL season
figures to be awesome (or is it "grawesome"?), led
hopefully by Deep House Dish. Ken reminded me to
include that inside joke on ourSan Diego
blog.
Here's a snippet from SNL. Bo'kay?
I've always thought of her as a
class act, and as her good-bye note (courtesy
ofMediaBistro) shows, she seems genuinely
saddened about her departure. Which was made more
hasty, some say, by the arrival ofnew-hire Campbell
Brown.
Her letter:
To
All,
It is with mixed emotions that I announce my
departure from CNN, effective Thursday, August 2nd.
I'd like to take this opportunity to express my
tremendous respect for my good friends and
colleagues, their talent and high standards.
It's been an extraordinary journey since my first day
on the job, September 11th, 2001. During my 6 years
with CNN, we've covered the war in Iraq, the
devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the death of a Pope
and the massacre at Virginia Tech. I am enormously
proud of the work we've done covering these stories
as a team.
Now is the right time for CNN and me to move ahead on
different paths. I wish good luck and success to
everyone I was fortunate to work with. And for the
first time in 30 years, I plan to take a break
between jobs and catch my breath before I take on my
next role. - Paula
Thanks to Pete for livening up every afternoon
atSFMwith theTV Newser. It's a page-turner!
Thanks to Ron atComposition Galleryfor putting on a
great show. As you can see from these pictures, I
was in great company -- I even bought two prints
for myself.
New show opens there on rock-star pictures tonight...
I saw a preview yesterday and it's super cool!
Following rock stars around and snapping pictures of
them? I want that job!
Wayne and Eddie's Zoe does her
best Elton John a few years back... I nearly
spit out my coffee when I saw this one. She's a
loon... and adorable. I'll post a great video of
her soon.
One of the many gems I left San Diego with. More to
follow soon. Enjoy.
I'm showing a couple of pieces at

Having a blast out
here at theSan Diego
Open, where I bombed out
of the tourney early, but Jack and Ken are in the
finals this afternoon! I'll follow up with event
pics later.
Meantime, during
off-court time at Barnes Tennis Center, Jack and
Ken visited withMary Murphy-- famed judge
ofSo You Think You Can
Danceand repped by former
Atlanta resident Michael Sanchez (brother of
Season One hostLauren
Sanchez). I wasn't able to
meet her, but I heard all about it. The pic here
is of Jack and Mary with Kynni behind the cell
camera.
Many more pics to follow, including captures from
Mission Beach and some landscapes.
