The time is now

After a long wait, I have a second interview with a very familiar company tomorrow afternoon. Wish me luck... I really really really would like this job. An office on Michigan Avenue overlooking the Magnificent Mile would be an excellent way to start Autumn...

1. According to Political Wire, Levi Johnston tells Vanity Fair that Sarah Palin had a rather unorthodox plan -- even before she was picked as Sen. John McCain's running mate -- for how to deal with news that her daughter was pregnant.Said Johnston: "Sarah told me she had a great idea: we would keep it a secret -- nobody would know that Bristol was pregnant. She told me that once Bristol had the baby she and Todd would adopt him. That way, she said, Bristol and I didn't have to worry about anything. Sarah kept mentioning this plan. She was nagging -- she wouldn't give up. She would say, 'So, are you gonna let me adopt him?' We both kept telling her we were definitely not going to let her adopt the baby. I think Sarah wanted to make Bristol look good, and she didn't want people to know that her 17-year-old daughter was going to have a kid."

2. Has anybody seen the preview for the new Megan Fox movie - Jennifer's Body? Is it possible that it will be the worst movie of the year? I think so. I have often said I would be fine never seeing Fox again. It looks like that won't be the case for a while. Yesterday I was watching TV, some stupid show like Entertainment Tonight or Access Hollywood, and Fox said, "Whenever I am about to go on TV, I get really bad diarrhea." I rest my case.

3. I just watched the Twins lose to the White Sox. They are at home and are up 2-0 going into the ninth inning. There are two outs. Home run. Another home run. Walk. Walk. Double. Wild Pitch. All with two outs. Thank goodness the college football season starts tomorrow. A group of us are going to a local sports bar to watch the Iowa State game.

4. I watched the movie Steel Magnolia today. I don't know. I guess I don't understand the brilliance. I give it a C+.

5. I watched Obama's press conference. Can you believe how much older he looks than even a year ago? His hair is almost completely gray now.
