How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Origami contest finalists (from MIT):

Wow. They're fantastic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is cute: Backstage at the Oscars.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

TAR: In theory, the older couple should be competitive, they do lots of sports & et cetera -- the woman has climbed all 54 of Colorado's 14K high peaks, for instance. They showed really badly in this first leg, and I don't expect them to last.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Jennifer Garner tripping.

Her "Thank you. I do my own stunts." was very cute, too.

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

That's so cute I barely believe it.

Aurelia, I think if I thought the Oscars were merit-based I'd pay more attention to the winners and not to the spectacle. For me it's an opportunity to ooh and ahh at fashion (a beloved pasttime of mine) and to hope against hope that my mind-control rays are finally totally debugged.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Who got dumped the first week of TAR? I missed the end.

The first dumpees were the gay friends from Boston.

In light of that, I have a longer-term prediction: The next time Paul Giamatti has a decent role in a movie that's at least reasonably well-received and not a complete flop, financially, he'll win best supporting actor.

I can't even.

I never liked Rachel before The Constant Gardener. She was merely tolerable in the Mummy movies. I think she rocks now.

I thought she was really good in Enemy at the Gates. That movie sold me on her. The Mummy(ies) ... blah.

Do you think it has to be reasonably soon? Have his not-wins been high-profile enough to span more than, say, three years?

Also, when will Don Cheadle get his we-do-like-you Oscar, dammit?

I thought she was really good in Enemy at the Gates.

Never saw that. No idea why no...wait, right, war movie.
