Leslie&#8217;s a little tired of my so-called &#8220;friends&#8221; finding the worse possible picture of me online to use as head shots on flyers and websites.

		<description><![CDATA[Every once and a while I&#8217;ll google my own name to find out who has been impersonating me. I&#8217;ll even, on occasion, look at the photos of these other quacks to see whom I&#8217;m up against. Today I ran across this.

		<description><![CDATA[I watched the movie Looper this past week.  It stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt (the kid from 3rd Rock from the Sun, who apparently likes sci-fi) and Bruce Willis as Gordon-Levitt&#8217;s character&#8217;s older, future self.  I initially dismissed it as &#8220;typical,&#8221; because of the ending.  However, this morning, having not been able to sleep pass 5:00, I [...]]]></description>
