Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Someone make me finish up my self eval. I'm not sure what to put.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Big fat flakes now and windy. People are leaving. hmm.

Someone in my office said it's started snowing in NJ, but we haven't seen flake one yet here in the city. Want snow now!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Do folks think Chris Rock was better than Letterman? I do.

Yeah, it wasn't a disaster by any means. But it wasn't as fun as Billy Crystal's better hostings were. I laughed more at Steve Martin's. It was smoother and less weird than Whoopi's jobs, but I don't like an airtight Oscar night anyway.

I think the advantage of having Crystal as host (aside from the big production openings which are usually pretty funny and set a tone) is that Crystal really loves movies and really loves show business. So he's like a good Allyson-onian snarker onstage. He snarks from love.

I liked the Oscars when they were baggy and loose. They should serve booze in the seats. They shouldn't cut people off - that's the worst. Rushing through everything and ticking things off. The Oscars are supposed to go long. That's what lets things happen.

If I only had a brain...

Also? Read my lips: no more Beyonce.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The first best & worst of Oscar fashion I've read so far. I need more. Feed me.

My biggest disagreement with the piece is Vanessa Paradis. I think she looked, as usual, like crap.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

"No, lie down a little longer, then maybe a stretch class and some krav. Then we'll have cupcakes."

what? this is not normal body communication. that is my body 90% of the time.

Someone make me finish up my self eval. I'm not sure what to put.

are you seriously asking that question here? Put, #1 at being cutiepie saracakes, expert at having cheeks pinched, certified platinum cat wrangler and herder, exceeded goal with grouchypants image with co-workers, surpassed all expectations at food refusal, assumed role as deputy in charge of mouse removal from offsite location (home), exceptional use of squishy toy....

you need more?

If I only had a brain...

ita's body has been talking to me again. Except for the krav part. My body says "lie down a little longer, then lie down some more. Maybe some internet. THEN cupcakes."

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm renewing my annual request for Kelsey Grammer to host. *sigh* I'm never going to get my wish.

No, mine definitely thinks that work is the only thing stopping me from exercising twice a day. I give it cupcakes (well, not today -- today is lemon bars and Krispy Kreme) all the time.

You just made me want David Hyde Pierce to host. I hope you're happy now.

Hahahah. No pinching.

Yeah, I wish. It's a FORM. And I'm not sure how much I'm supposed to fill out. I'm sitting here thinking, yep. I did that and that and that. Didn't mess up. What more do you want? You want me to grade my time management skills? Oh no, no you don't.
