The world of cinema lost an icon on Friday, as 83-year-old Paul Newman passed away at his home in Westport, Connecticut.
My first introduction to Paul Newman came as a tween, after watching Reality Bites. There's that part in it where Ethan Hawke is talking about how nobody can eat fifty eggs. I asked my dad what that meant, and he put me in the car, drove me to the video store and rented Cool Hand Luke. I loved every minute of it.
There's a lot I could say about Mr. Newman, but CNN has put together a pretty impressive piece on his accomplishments, his character and his life. Read it here.
They don't make 'em like you anymore, Mr. Newman. You'll be missed.

No?
Me neither.
I was going to, but then there was this alumni event for my high school tonight, and, for whatever reason, I decided to go and forgot to set my DVR. It wasn't a class reunion -- I didn't go to high school in Seattle -- it was just an event for all alumni who live in Seattle to mix and mingle. The one guy from my class who I was friends with who lives here bailed at the last minute, but I went anyway. It was really weird because there were all these people there that I kinda-sorta knew in high school -- or I knew their siblings -- but never really talked to or hung out with, and now, nearly ten years later, I had a total blast spending time with them on a Friday night. It was so weird, walking into that room and spotting people who were a couple grades above me, who had been so intimidating when I was 14, but now are just way awesome and fun to reminisce with.
One of the faculty members there walked up to me and was like, "Wow, it's really you. You know, I saw your name on the RSVP list, but, to tell you the truth, I didn't think you'd actually show up. I think about you often, you know. I always wondered what became of you." And another faculty member was like, "I didn't know you lived in Seattle," and looked at me like he expected some manner of response, so I just kind of rudely blurted out, "Uh ... I did," and he was like, "Ah, yes, that's the girl we know and love."
Was I really that obnoxious in high school?
Clearly I was.
See, you guys, I spent a lifetime preparing for this job. :)
Anyway.
If you want to talk about the debates, this is the thread to do it in.
Who came out on top? />No?
Me neither.
