...although it might seem that if one were making a movie about a charismatic, handsome, wealthy young man and the lonely misfit who desperately wants to be him, one would cast Damon in the glamour boy's role, he says he identifies with the dork. "I really relate to Ripley," says Damon. "I always did. I think most people will." And while there are differences--Damon says he played Ripley as a virgin, which, given his dating history (Claire Danes and Minnie Driver are two of the famous ones), must have been a stretch--there are also similarities. Damon...

...similar problem: "Definitely Not the Dumbest Guy in the Deke House." Political pundits are warning us that the public is in danger of seeing all the presidential candidates as caricatures--McCain as a hothead, for instance, and Gore as a manlike object and Forbes as a terminal dork. Just who might be responsible for leaving the voters with these impressions is not the sort of question political pundits bother their pretty little heads about. It may be worth noting, though, that in recent weeks the New Republic has carried cover drawings of Bush as a dunce, with the tag line...

...Arden: I know, I mean, "Of course you weren't!" I've been a dork my whole life, and I've never wanted to be anything else. I don't understand this desire to be a bad-ass.

And I sort of stand there and say, "What the fuck is going...

...microcosmic universe!" they cry in unison. Pacey, after all, is meant for Andie. And Joey and Dawson, well, will forever be Joey and Dawson (like Brenda and Dylan). But think about this. Why'd you watch the show in the first place? Week after week, James Van Der Dork is obsessive compulsive and downright boring, and Andie, bless her heart, is pummeled each and every week by the writers' new sadistic storyline. But who made the show worth it in the first place? Yes, yes, darling Joey and smarmy Pacey. Can you even think of a better couple? (I hear...

...that I'm unprepared. In fact, when it comes to life-at-large, I'm the equivalent of a premed dork, taking notes compulsively with a 20-color pen. I keep detailed diaries, never delete an e-mail, save all my notebooks, and keep movie ticket stubs from the last five years on file. Want to know what I ate for lunch on February 25, 1997? Or what I was up to at 7:20 p.m. on April 28, 1999? I've got it all. The challenge is to select the useful from the useless, the primary sources from...
