First, an update: As some of you know, I've been covering politics for the past five months. If you didn't notice ... really? You didn't notice? Not once did you wonder where I was at? Well, that makes me feel great.

Deep breath. Serenity now. I missed you.

The reason I'm writing is that my colleague and film-reviewer extraordinaire, Soren Andersen, is writing about the upcoming "Sex and the City" movie. If any of you (and I know there are some of you) are interested in "Sex and the City" (that's an "and" not "or"), Soren would like to speak to you. Specifically, he's looking for fans who think (or want to think) they know a thing or two about the plot, courtesy of spoiler blogs. Or those who just can't wait for the movie to come out -- did you hear someone dies?!

So, if you're in that group, e-mail: Soren.Andersen@thenewstribune.com

Last night at the Tacoma Dome was a Sesame Street extravaganza called When Elmo Grows Up, "a musical show-and-tell of the possibilities of all kinds of careers."

I didn't go, but I can guess what happens: Elmo gets older, his voice gets deeper and he starts to get fur in odd places.

Then the show probably tackles the difficult issue of grown-up Elmo trying to find a career when his only talent is vibrating after he's tickled.

I imagine it all ends somewhat like this ...
