RIP Paul Gleason

Prolific actor and ’80s icon Paul Gleason had died. To many, he’s best known as Principal Richard Vernon from The Breakfast Club. To me, he’ll always be Deputy Chief of Police Dwayne T. Robinson from Die Hard. He died of some asbestos-related lung cancer.

I’ll see you, Paul. Every Christmas. When I watch Die Hard.

"Whoa. That ruled."

Several times today I’ve been loading the preview of this in iTunes, ’cause it’s been stuck in my head for two days. Which is my brain’s way of saying, “Why did you delete all of your old podcasts?”

To which I say, “because the eMac has only 75GB and they’re almost gone. I get scratch-disk warnings when I check my email!”

And my brain is all, “Whatever, douche.”

So my brain and I aren’t so much speaking right now. But don’t worry. It’ll come back. It almost always does.
