Watched the Oprah Oscar Special.

Why is it whenever Sidney Poitier speaks, I cry?

God forbid I ever meet the man and he asks where the restroom is. He'll have to ask someone else besides the sobbing pile of goo.

Why is it whenever Sidney Poitier speaks, I cry?

Just imagine dinners at home with his family, and he asks to pass the salt. His wife must long to institute an all-mime rule for him.

re Britney: you know you're a troubled celebrity when the papparazzi are worried about you.

Jesse, I love that within 10 posts you went from "OC = ridiculous episode ever" to OC montage makes me cry!

Theodosia, insent.

I knew The O.C. was signing off this season, but I was surprised by all the talk on my flist yesterday, that they were signing off last night? Did you guys get a full season? Kat, did you watch it until the end?

I watched most of last season, to my dismay. This season, I watched most of december and some of january, when there was a break in Grey's Anatomy episodes.

This last season was actually good. Not great, not like season 1, but sweet and frothy. Taylor was a much better match for Ryan than Marissa would ever be. And that helped. Plus it went from angst to fun.

But it was! And it did! Between the jump-forward from the previous episode to the several-years-spanning montage, it was ridic. And yet, somehow awesome.

Plei, everything happened. In short: Kirsten had the baby, IN THEIR OLD HOUSE IN BERKELEY, which the boys were trying to buy off the gay couple who live there now. Luckily, one of them was a midwife! And the Bullet flew the whole Julie-Bullet wedding up there, since Kirsten couldn't make it back. But Julie's pregnant with Frank's baby. And he got on the phone and told Julie she should marry him. But she decided not to marry anyone. Summer decided to go be an activist and not move to Providence with Seth, which was a good thing. Ryan and Taylor love each other, but she moved back to France. The ending montage included Julie's college graduation, Seth and Summer's wedding, and Ryan as an architect, stopping to ask some kid on the street if he needed any help. There were also flashbacks to Baby Ryan, at the Cohen's for the first time. Aw!

I don't even think they aired the final OC here last night. Not that I've watched for most of the season.

What's going on people?

I'm not awake yet. Perhaps I shall make tea.

Stupid insomnia....

I am incredibly glad it's Friday. And neither my boss nor my boss's boss are in the office today.

I think I'm going to make the no-knead bread of that several months ago craze this weekend. Yay! Assuming my grocery store has instant yeast.

I got a day off from work, because of all the time I've been putting in on the weekends.
