Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, yay babies!

And I'm having a crisis because I can't get shit on Friday NYTimes crossword puzzles. I need to step up my training regemin. And learn how to spell that.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I went to college with some state legislators, but that's as good as I can do. Well, I guess some famous people went to my grad school, but I never saw any of them or paid any attention to who they might be.

My most ridiculously talented classmate

We had one of these who went to a great performing arts colleges after high school, but from what I've heard, I think that the adjustment to the wide world away from home was too much. I think part of it was that expectations were so high, too. She had the most amazing voice and could act like woah.

Violent Femmes, Arrested Development lead singer (Todd Thomas) - I think that's all I got. Todd I actually knew, at least to say hi to.

I feel like I should have someone famous. I don't think I do, though.

Meanwhile, The Time and Rhiannon (sp?) just did a fun little number. They were having fun. I love it when you can tell that.

Hey, Yoko's wearing a cream, satin top hat. V. cute.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

As I think I've mentioned before, I worked on the campus newspaper with John Bloom, aka Joe Bob Briggs. I also went to school with Atlanta's former mayor and CFO, both of whom were indicted for bribery and fraud. I was a reporter at Nashville's afternoon newspaper when Al Gore was at the morning newspaper, but that just means we nodded at each other in the hall in the afternoon.

The graphic for awards given out earlier in the night is almost illegible on my screen, I can barely read what awards they are posting. I love award shows, but the Grammy's is one of my least favorites:

I want more awards given out and fewer weird performances and montages things - or at least more time given to the earlier awarded Grammy's.

I knew Tift Merritt in high school, but I don't think she's up for a Grammy or anything. I was good friends with Sarah Jones, who won a Tony last year, in college.

I know someone who's won multiple Grammys! For liner notes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Good--I am back from a visit with my mom, who came through her glaucoma surgery like a champ, buoyed, I think, by how well Obama did on SuperTuesday. She got well enough to go out for a ZILLION meals with various relatives while I was there and to see Sweeney Todd, which she loved.

Bad--I got up at 5 am Eastern time to return the rental car and make my first plane, then got stuck in Salt Lake City for 6 hours. It is truly the World's Most Boring Airport. I am tired, sticky and cranky...but home
