I think I might leave early today. For no good reason, other than it irks me to sit here not getting work done, when I could be sitting at home not getting work done. Hmmm.

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

I think it's this year's Crash. It's a Message Movie and actors think that's important. Stupid actors.

(Just kidding, actor friends and wife.)

Yeah, I think Scorsese's oscar is also a gimme.

There's not good evidence that it's her hair.

What about a DNA test?

I hope Scorsese gets Best Director.

I'm going to try to watch The Departed tonight.

My lunch didn't take AT ALL. And I have no proper snacks here. I was going to run to get a chai latte for snack this afternoon but I have a document I must finish today. And that I would maybe have finished earlier except I also had to finish writing lyrics to our new song about the world's tallest man who saved that dolphin's life! Which I did. And, I have to say, it is EPIC.

Needs to have a skin tag attached. According to CSI, at least.

Jesse, go early, choose early!

I am planning to be out of here the second my last class ends at 3:00. I've been spectacularly unproductive today, and I don't think sitting around here any longer is going to help the matter any. I've got two sets of papers (a set of analytic essays and a set of creative Odyssey-esque stories) to do before Wednesday since 2nd trimster finals are Wednesday morning...and then I have to write narrative comments and get everything finalized for report cards the week after that. You would think that these deadlines would inspire me to get work done today, yet not so much.

I am still so full from lunch! Oh cupcake, why must you be so delicious.

I was thinking that the thing it has in common with Crash is work for a lot of actors.

Your day is so much more interesting than mine.

ha!

Well, I'm actually getting paid to make a 35-page document describing our system architecture into a 10-page (one page of which is a diagram) system overview. Also fascinating stuff. or not...

That's a whole lot of negroes.

And a furriner! We're so progressive!

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

It doesn't have Crash's box-office, which is a good sign for those of us who thought it sucked elephant balls. (SAG votes or not, movies that tanked tend not to win Oscars.)

LMS and Departed could also swing the SAG vote away. The Queen has the advantage of being almost everyone's second choice (it's won several critics' circle awards that way), but it's a foreign film which hurts its chances. (And Letters is both not in English AND tanked at the box office, so it's out entirely.)

Jennifer Garner being cute with Violet Affleck. This is me being a hypocrite, because I usually don't like pictures that are prying into celebrities just doing normal shit, but Violet's so incredibly cute, and Jennifer looks so fucking normal that I love to look.

And, while I'm X17ing it, Damn, Penelope's sister looks so like her I thought it was a collage.
