Oprah might as well book Katie now...

To absolutely no one's surprise, Tom Cruise and Katie are apparently on the rocks. It sounds like things are getting kinda petty in the TomKat compund. With rumors of trauma over an 80's ad campaign and late night mental-wrassles over the number "71", things are looking bleak.

The more I hear about him, the more I think he is just an absolutely normal guy who is a controlling butthead. The Scientology, the quesadilla cheese, the odd numbers. They all make me think that I know many Tom Cruises, but none of them are wealthy. (You all know who you are.)

Anyway, read the nice article: TomKat is dying.

And I did not realize there was going to be a ticking sound...

Jim and I have watched this on Tivo about four-hundred thousand times. Crista Flanagan is hilarious, the character is perfect and we all feel like this from time to time.

Please, please watch this a couple of times. The nuances of her performance make it worth your while.

New Idea #3: Just start drawing.

Actually, I did some work on an illustrator tutorial, which helped me create the nut on this page.

Drawing Nuts and Bolts


I really like this kind of drawing. Reducing detail and geometric shapes adding to others. It feels honest. Or simple. Or like a little puzzle. Or whatever you want to call it. If I were to get stuck in a rut, this would be it and I'd totally deal fine with it. Actually sounds kinda awesome.
