Where do you want to eat?

LIFE <META>: I will admit to having spent far more time than I needed in QuikTrip last night, just so I could rather shamelessly flirt with a clerk named Adam. If you have not already discovered this for yourself, you should know that one of the closest things to heaven on earth is a blond-headed boy with a south Georgia accent and an appreciation of culturally-literate wit. At least it seems that way on a chilly late spring evening. » I see by the calendar on the wall that it's "Website Beautification Weekend" in The BradLands. If all goes as planned, you may expect the debut of a new feature and the revitalization of an old one by Monday. » The snippet of the Daytime Emmy Awards I caught on TV last night reminded me of something I've often wondered: Why is it that, after accepting whatever award is being proferred, the winners invariably begin to depart the stage in the wrong direction and have to be guided the right way by the presenter or trophy girl? Oscars, Emmys, Tonys, Peoples' Choices...I see this happen to practically every winner on every awards show.

INDECISION 2000: Paul has created a very useful tool for automating the conversation that begins "Where do you want to eat? I don't care. Where do you want to eat?"
