Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Jason Bateman is decidedly unhip

Dude, I love Kanye, but he is so making me thing of Urkel. Am I alone here? There's a geeky nerd element there, right?

Glad to hear your mom's surgery went well. Sorry about the crappy travels.

Is it possible that I've not heard an Amy Winehouse song even though I keep hearing how she's, like, the best thing ever this year (and a huge mess)?

It was the costume, I think. It was kind of Urkely. High waist, high pants.
