Velcrometer Throwing stuff at the internet to see what sticks

Humpblog (6/09/04)
After Friday's entry about Trash being mistaken for someone famous, people wanted to see a picture of her for themselves so they could try to figure out who Trash might conceivably look like, even if from a distance or in poor lighting. So here you go.
What do you think? I hope you can figure it out, because we were all completely stumped.

Saw the new Harry Potter movie last weekend. I have to confess, I wasn't entirely sold on the idea of Alfonso Cuaron directing this one. I mean, sure, Y Tu Mama Tambien was great, but is a Harry Potter movie really a good place for long-winded narrative voice-overs in Spanish?
I was glad to see that he left those out. And also the threesome. I'm not convinced that would have been appropriate.

Have you figured out who Trash looks like yet? Sorry. Don't mean to pressure you. I'll give you another minute.

Overheard on the DC Metro last night, via a librarians' mailing list that Trash belongs to::
"Yea, I'm going to go pay my respects on Thursday night. After all, he was the first president I was ever aware of as an adolescent."
Unintelligible.
"He'll be lying in state in the Capital."
Unintelligible.
"Yea, Thursday night. Right after Happy Hour."

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. That's not actually a picture of Trash at the top of this entry.
My apologies to anyone who might have been taken in by my little ruse. Here she is for reals.
More pictures here. I should point out that several people are depicted in the photographs in that entry, and that my wife is neither the geeky-looking guy, nor the attractive Asian woman, nor the infant on the kitchen table. Just so we're clear.
Today's best search phrase: "Graduation cap bangs." Finally, Google's purchase of Blogger has a concrete effect on my life.

Hi, I'm M. Giant. I'm here because while there's no shortage of people hurling their least
significant thoughts and feelings up on the Internet, none of those people are me. I'm
here because I've got nothing to say, and by God I'm going to say it.
My goal with this blog is to spend time writing something, anything, rather than just sitting around
slackjawed. I hope to hone my writing skills, build a small but loyal following, then a slightly larger
and more fiercely loyal following, ultimately culminating in the destruction of my enemies and total world
domination.
Feel free to e-mail me if you like, but only if you don't mind that anything you say is likely to end up on the site.
I can't guarantee that I'll be nice about it.

You could steal from me, but you'd only be hurting yourself. Using
me as your instrument.
