Saw Almost Famous sneak at movies last night. Very kewl. Cameron Crowe’s approach to filmmaking integrates
period music with scenes that are completely and utterly believable. Not a big crowd at screening. Sad about that.
Marketing for movie is being done all wrong. Frances McDormand knocks out the role of the main character’s mother.
Official movie Web site loads too slow on my crappy
Presario Pentium I 50 MHz machine. The chick on movie posters you’ll see is supporting character Penny Lane which
I think confuses people about plot. Ought to have multi-tiered photos to show more than just Penny character (even
though a reflection of another character appears in her glasses, he’s not easy to see). Whatever. No "show
me the money!" type lines in this one. Best line in entire movie is, "I’M GAY!" Won’t spoil
any details about that, however, but you won’t expect it and you’ll laugh your ass off. Realized stewardess uniforms
in 70’s were hot.


Played basketball today. Brought my special man-girl offensive skills to new level. Suddenly realized how to play
defense. Catwoman did not scratch me today during
play. Girlfriend made several key shots. Former Compaq co-workers were no shows. Won 2, Lost 1. Made last game
winning shot. Drove DeLorean to and from game. Decided to call car ‘My Toy’ from now on.
After game was over, I was walking past people at grocery store and abruptly started defending territory.
Trying to shake that off. Let several people pass into soft-drink aisle undefended.
