Loved the Tomlin/Streep bit. Some reviewer said the academy should be required to have them present every lifetime achievement/honorary Oscar. I also loved that the audience really responded to that bit.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Yes, but how do you feel about Altman movies?
I've only seen M*A*S*H so I can't really judge.
Altman also tries never to make the same movie twice (I think he even made a comment to that effect).
I thought he'd said they were all just one really long movie.

Just point to a corner and say "See, there I am!"
I'm one of many, many teenagers with a long shag haircut and aggressively faded jeans. Ah, the '70s.

Yeah he said that too. Certainly in Altman's case, I don't think the two comments are mutually exclusive.

Just in case anybody still has any doubts about who's running the show...

I fucking hate fucking stupid performance evaluation bullshit paperwork.
I wish they'd stop asking what I want to do with my career. I don't fucking know, that's why I'm still fucking here, and that's none of their fucking business.
I think I'm a little too hostile to be working on this stuff right now, you know?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh, those suck, sarameg.
Maybe one of us can fill it out for you. We won't even put down Pimp as a career objective. (since that one is saved for Jesse)
ION, I am awake, and showered, and dressed, and as soon as I can find one ounce of wanting to go to work, I may even go to work.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
sara, don't worry about truthful answers to the questions. Make some stuff up to just get through it.
You want to further develop your customer service skills. You want to advance using your organizational, systems development, problem solving skills, and be in a position to increase the understanding of multiple departments working together toward a common goal within the organization. You would like to develop your skills in delegation and management of others on specific projects.
Stuff like that. Unless you think that writing something down will result in unpleasant new job duties, then take a stab. It is like fiction bullshit writing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, anyone want to make a few phone calls for me? God I hate making random phone calls.
OK. Doing it. Starting with the people I've met.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wish they'd stop asking what I want to do with my career.
Yeah, that question irks me too. I don't want a career. I want to lounge with chocolates and sushi at my fingertips. I want to krav all the time and take photographs and draw and actually finish reading the books I start. In the meanwhile, I'm making do.
George Clooney being adorable after the Oscars. That's one lucky dame.
