Are we stereoypes?

Jess and I drove to Houston to see the LOTR exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science today and then drove home. It ruled.
Regarding the title: As Jess was fixin’ up some grub, I stood there noticing that we were both wearing T-shirts we got at a mad $5/shirt sale at Mondo Tees, a local business which sells sort of “retro”/cheesy t-shirts. She was wearing a Sin City shirt and I was wearing an “Austin Film Society and Alamo Drafthouse Present “Kill Bill” shirt.
I suddenly had to laugh and say “Here we are wearing shirts with a film by an Austin director, a local hip Austin theatre, bought at a trendy local Austin retro T-shirt shop, I’m an actor and musician, we make our own short films, we don’t eat refined carbs, you work for a green high tech company, me for a video game company and we drive a Prius hybrid. We are such stereotypes. I roll other people’s eyes at us.”

New from Chef Boyardee!

Conversation from work today:
I was joking with a co-worker who used to be the only woman on our particular team before she moved to another project and she was saying that it was good we just hired another female tester to keep the female representation on our team.
Me:
“Yeah since we lost you it’s just been way too testosterone-y over there. Hmm, that sounds like a new product from Chef Boyardee. Testosteroni!”
Another co-worker:
“Now with 25% more BEEF!”

Let’s play: Spam or Not Spam!

If you look at the comments for this entry, you will notice a comment by “Just Me”. I have no idea if this comment is just spam that got really lucky by hitting a blog where this is totally a feasible comment, or if it’s someone who actually left a real comment that’s just ambiguous enough to possibly be spam.
We all know I’m an actor, and more specifically have experience in voice acting in particular. I traced the IP and it seems to trace back to Disneyland which leads me t believe it’s spam, because while I know some people in L.A., I don’t know of anyone who works at Disneyland. I’m very puzzled. The link leads to a job at Disneyland which sounds really cool, and yet it says “apply in person” which just isn’t possible, I’m afraid. The comment says “I know you have a gret (sic) job…” which is also true, and yet is just generic enough to easily be used in mass spammings.
I could try and email the person, but…well, I’m hesitant for no particular reason. The anonymity of the person also makes me suspect, as if it were someone who even vaguely knows me, why would they simply sign “just me” and yet leave an email address?
If it is spam, it is the most interesting and intriguing piece I’ve ever received.
