Lunch with a Movie Star

On the 4th I had lunch with AnnaSophia Robb. the star of 'Because of Winn-Dixie', the movie w/ adult actor Jeff Daniels.

I had not seen the movie and the best I could say was that I had seen the coming attraction a whole bunch of times.
Turns out that she has also been in several other films, including the Johnny Depp Willy Wonka & Chocolate Factory film. The list is on her website, see link above.
Her dad is the architect for some friends of mine who are in the process of planning a new home.

the movie - Winn Dixie - is great. I read the book first. Lots of life lessons, yet sweet and light, but deep. Watch it. Cool to meet the girl - she was great.

The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Is It Just ME?

Two odd phrases keep popping up in print that just seem weird to me. Here is one: "I am absolutely appalled that another computer containing the personal information of veterans has gone missing ," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican. Why not say "is missing" ? Doesn't "has gone" imply some action on the part of the computer? And our local newspaper recently had headlines that said: "City looks to buy land on Ft. Morgan Road" Is "looks to buy" an accepted English phrase for "considers" or similar? Maybe it is, but both of those phrases sound rather like Granny Clampett to me. Your opinion?
