All the rage was the Scarlet Johansson-branded protective helmet. It's a colorful helmet, it is a planter with 11 specific draining holes, and it's an important crucible for ideas.
We met at a media event held at a junior high. Scarlet was polite, but perfunctory.
Then there was a very small hotel room with glass walls and doors. Stocked with Herbal Bourbons — ice machine didn't work. Scarlet said "No way am I drinking that shit." She was serious and smart. Might be Las Vegas.

An Epicenter of Wordsmithing…for the Enterprise.
Politics, celebrity gossip, business headlines, tech punditry, odd news, and user-generated content.
These are the chew toys that have made me sad and tired and cynical.
Each, in its own way, contributes to the imperative that we constantly expand our portfolio of shallow but strongly-held opinions about nearly everything. Then we're supposed to post something about it. Somewhere.
From businesses we've never heard of, to countries we've never visited, to infants who've had the random misfortune to be born into a family that's on TV -- it's all grist for obvious jokes and shortsighted commentary that, for at least a few minutes, helps both the maker and the consumer feel a little less bored, a little less vulnerable, and a little less disconnected. For a minute, anyway, it makes us feel more alive. Does me, anyway.
Here's a fast trick to knowing ages, time, and order. JK makes it super-simple for us:
Harry's age, the school year, the chronological year, the book number, and the movie number each end with the digit "1," then just increment up.
| Book & Movie Number | Chron. Year | HP Age | Book | Movie Year | Pp.[^1] |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1991 | 11 | Stone | 2001 | 233 |
| 2 | 1992 | 12 | Chamber | 2002 | 251 |
