Bing Cherries and Billy Bob

Today was one of those weird days....

1. Was at the grocery store, and there was like a sale on Bing cherries or something, so there are like 5 or 6 people huddled around the display, groping the cherries [insert canned laughter here]. Anyway, there is a taller lady hunched over the cherries, picking through them like a primate picking nits off of another monkey's back. She was rifling through them, and stuffing like every third one into her mouth, with apparent total disregard for the pay-before-you eat code of the grocery store. I actually stopped to watch for a while.

2. Then...I am sitting outside of Chapters having a coffee and I swear to God, I look over and there is Billy Bob Thornton sitting across from me like two tables over. There had been a group of 3 people there waiting, with a laptop and a myriad of papers. When I first noticed him, I thought, "This guy looks strangely familiar and strangely out of place"...but couldn't place it. But the more I listened to keywords from their conversation "movies", "film tax credits", "x amount on the dollar for distribution", "tv series/movies", etc, the more it started to click. I finally went through my mental rolodex and figured out who it was (I am not a fan...except of his ex-wife A Jolie). Actually thought of striking up a conversation after his welcoming committee left, but what would I say? "Way to rail Angelina?". So, after a minute or so on his cell phone, he jumped in a Jag and away he went. Godspeed Billybob.
