Tom Cruise has my dad's stopper

The title is not nearly as crazy as it sounds. So as you all know, my mom owns a shop (Looking Glass Designs... anyone in St. Louis should come visit, 1410 S. 18th St!). Anyway, my dad makes super cool wine stoppers out of antique door knobs. A guy came into Mom's shop several weeks ago and said he had done a movie with Tom Cruise. Yes, THAT Tom Cruise - Risky Business, jumping on Oprah's couch Tom Cruise, not Tom Cruise the inventor of hoverround. Apparently Tom Cruise collects wine stoppers. So this guy bought a super cool one and said he was gonna give it to Tom Cruise. So TOM CRUISE NOW HAS ONE OF MY DAD'S HOMEMADE WINE STOPPERS!

Now i know some of you may not be huge Tom Cruise fans. Generally I agree with you. But I find out Tom Cruise owns something my dad made, I get freakin excited... :-).

In other news, Shelley from Campbell House is now addicted to Soupman, just like I am.

Oh and big news... TOMORROW'S THE FIRST WASH U BASKETBALL GAME! As you'll all find out over the next year, I'm a huge Wash U bball fan. My mom recruited a lot of the team, several helped me move into my apartment, and I've gotten to know all the guys. They're all awesome. They've won the D-3 championship 2 years in a row (we were at the final four for the first one but had to miss last year's so we could meet Luke), and they only lost 1 senior last year, have a lot of seniors this year, and a big freshman class so there's a real good shot they'll at least go to the final 4 if not take it for the 3rd consecutive year! I'm going to the game, SO excited! GO BEARS!
