...corner from a travel bookstore suspiciously like the one he runs in Notting Hill, the movie. No cameras are rolling, no colorful extras mill about, but the sunglasses do little to disguise his identity, given that the rest of the Hugh Grant package--the blue shirt and khakis, the bounteous hair he repeatedly refers to as "floppy"--is reassuringly intact.

...those of you who stood by me, through dark of night, through bounteous sunshine, in good times and in bad, through laughter and through tears, through bitter acrimony and parsimonious intrepidity, I extend my most heartfelt gratitude. For those of you who lent me money, I promise I'll try to come up with it before I kick...
