i *heart* google

i love google. yes. yes i do.

today i love google because i had an answering machine message from some guy claiming to be from the "vmi awards verification center" at 888-699-4998 "gosh, i hope i have the right house" and sounding all earnest and stuff, concerning "a drawing you had entered for a new 2002 jeep liberty"

well, i didn't remember entering such a drawing, and he sounded just a bit too smooth and eager, so i put "vmi award verification center" into google and sure enough, a bunch of sites about scams these folks are trying to pull showed up. it's a standard timeshare sales scam where you sign up for a 90 minute presentation and get 5 hours of hard-pressure sales and nothing else to show for it.

i called the Mass AG's office and sure enough, they've heard of them.

"so, whaddaya feel like doin' tonite"

"marty" started out as a tv teleplay written in three days as a fill-in. then it was an academy award winner of a movie.

now, it's a musical, at the huntington theater (presumably as a broadway tryout).

i haven't seen any of its previous incarnations, but the musical is just incredibly adorabe. it's a sweet love story about ordinary people.

i saw it tonite, and my heart is warmed.
