Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah -- and especially for her cousin's family -- it's the cousin's grandmother, too.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

escalator death

This is because, and I feel certain I've mentioned this before, escalators are evil. They have teeth, they have terrifying recorded voices, they have mysterious substances on their oddly rubbery handholds, and they are lit from below with green.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

That green is just the radiation leaking from the reactors into which they stuff their unwitting victims as fuel for their unholy machinations.

Nothing to be worried about.

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

A bad week.

I worked for a woman who lost her long-time ex, and her sister (in separate accidents) within the same week. She was reeling.

Of course, she wasn't much help during my divorce. "Hey, nobody's dead."

Phone calls made, ultra-super-helpful and faux-apologetic e-mails sent. Now I wait for more stupidity to hit my inbox.

'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"

I know somebody whose mother died of cancer -- and then whose father (long divorced from her mother, and living on the far side of the country) died in a car crash a week later.

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

New reports on Britney's meltdown suggest that the head-shaving came after K-Fed threatened to have her drug tested during their custody fight for the kids, using hair samples.

Though I expect she would've taken greater care to destroy the hair on the floor afterwards, instead of leaving it for the salon owner to auction it off on eBay.

That's all I got on celebrity gossip.

Don't the Oscars look to be insanely predictable this year?

Helen Mirren - Best Actress
Forest Whitaker - Best Actor
Jennifer Hudson - Best Supporting Actress
Eddie Murphy - Best Supporting Actor

I figure Babel will get Best Picture.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Other people's tragedy can make your misfortune look less bad. Of course, then you can fall into the trap of "at least nobody's dead," which really doesn't always make everything OK, you know?

Don't the Oscars look to be insanely predictable this year?

Yes.

I just interviewed someone that I really liked, but I'm a little afraid it was at least in part because she's pretty. Hmm.

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

That's a whole lot of negroes.

Did anyone like Babel? Or is it this year's Crash?
