This morning my co-worker across from me informed our office that there was a woman on the loose. This woman on the loose was suspected of carrying a gun and was not an employee. Security was looking for her floor by floor.

What the FUCK?

She's been caught, but I would rather not know if it was in fact a gun she was carrying around in her little pouch. Or if she had any intended targets.

Guh.

Let it never be said that research is boring.

Oh, yeah, she was carrying it in a gun case. An employee noticed her in the parking lot with it and recognized what she was holding. Thank GOD.

I am ... humiliated ... to have to report that since watching Running Scared I have been infatuated with Paul Walker.
Aw, babe, it's okay. I've been infatuated with the guy since She's All That. He was all big and buff and blond and tan and a major dickhead and just sex on two legs.

Ugh, Timeline though. At least you didn't have to pay for it. God I hated that film. Not just because they totally fucked up the story in the adaptation process, but because they made nearly every character annoying. ANNOYING. You don't do that to Frances O'Connor. You just don't.

Speaking of badasses, how much do I love Naomi Harris? One word: machete. And how the hell did she look so hot with black teeth?
I mean, really. I loved the characterization of Selena - that the writers and director would go there with a female character totally sealed my love for the film. There was this thing I read where apparently the director and Naomi decided that Selena had had to kill her entire family as a result of the virus, including a much younger brother. Hence her cold determination to survive and absolute disconnect when ensuring that survival.

DUDE. She was beautiful in POTC2. Stunning, and her eyes are mesmerizing no matter what.

Fuck it all. I'm definitely going to have see Miami Vice now. No matter that I was a freak about that show as a kid, but she's playing Trudy? Yep. Gonna have to see it.

You don't do that to Frances O'Connor. You just don't.

I know! She was ... bad. Huh? WTF? So, the book is good? I was eschewing it with a firm hand on account of I'm a sci-fi snob and only read inaccessible work.

Hey - I'm not ignoring your thingie. I've been having a major technical meltdown and have been performing surgery on my harddrive with a grapefruit spoon. So I've been unwilling to send any documents. But I think things may be on the mend.

It is the only Michael Crichton novel I would ever recommend. It's surprisingly tight and the ending is great, which is a surprise, as ol' Mikey has ISSUES when it comes to endings in that he doesn't know where the fuck to just say STOP.

Hey - I'm not ignoring your thingie.
Heh. It's funny, I was just thinking to myself yesterday, "Geesh, is it that bad? Am I that rusty?!" Sorry to hear about the technical problems. Poor baby. I can't imagine with as much time as you have to spend on the computer, having it go all wonky on you. Oy with the stress.
