stars in sac

The Bee continues their major coverage of a minor issue with two features today on the soldier effigy. This comes on the heels of yesterday's front page coverage. Today they do a piece on the personal lives of the couple that contains this head-scratcher:

"Virginia met Stephen Pearcy when she was in junior high. (so she was like 12 0r 13 years old) He was her 31-year-old math tutor. He was a student at UC Davis and worked as a lab technician.
She moved in with him the summer after eighth grade. They had their own rooms, and didn't get romantically involved until after she left UC Davis, they said."

How sweet, just like Celine Dion and her manager. It's amazing how platonic love can blossom into romantic love the instant a young lass turns 18.

Here's the link for that article: http://www.sacbee.com/content/news/story/12367170p-13223416c.html

I guess 300 people from both sides of the issue were at the house the other day: http://www.sacbee.com/content/news/story/12367170p-13223426c.html

I'm not sure what happened at that city council meeting last night. There was speculation that the council was going to pass some sort of emergency measure against "big box" stores to keep a Wal-Mart out. The sac bee had an editorial yesterday that said that this is another example of the lack of leadership in the city council. They don't know what they want, only what they don't want, which is a trashy store in downtown plaza. I agree there is a lack of a clear plan, but as long as the result is no Wal-Mart downtown, I don't care.

Did anyone catch "Good Evening Sacramento" or work at the Crest last night. It was insane: The Rock, the governator, Vince Vaughn (looking haggard and being really short with the smarmy reporter), Harvey Keitel, and biggest of all Christina Milian. Apparently no one at the Crest recognized her. She has a top ten single right now! I wish I would have gone, but I guess I'm not star struck enough for it to motivate me to go out on a rainy night.
