I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Sounds good, Kat. I'm actually not really sure what my schedule is going to look like on the weekends at the moment until we finalize this infomercial thing. But I should be able to do something soonish.

I guess if I want to continue rock star status I have to go take the laundry out of the dryer and put the wet stuff in. *sigh* I hate folding.

This movie is really strange so far, and I'm not really following what's going on, but the cast just keeps getting more and more interesting: John Laroquette, Bai Ling, Wallace Shawn, Beth Grant, Cheri Oteri, Seann William Scott, Amy Poehler, Janeane Garofalo. By all rights, it should be a comedy. And yet...I don't think it is? I think these people are serious about this movie? But I haven't seen Mandy Moore yet. At least I don't think I did. She might have been one of the porn stars getting interviewed at one point. Has anyone ever seen this movie before? Can they explain to me what is going on?

I haven't seen it, but isn't it supposed to be about Revelation actually coming true as experienced by residents of L.A.?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You mean Bristol, Trudy?

Yeah, Bristol. But Sarah too in that maybe not every corner of her life should be public fodder.

Is that what it's about? Justin Timberlake keeps quoting the Bible while spinning around in circles on top of a building at the pier, but so far people just are talking about nothing whatsoever. Like, for instance, their thoughts on the frequency one should go to the potty and whether it makes you happy . But there's some misquoting of Bradbury too, as you'd expect.

Oh! But I finally figured out that the little old lady was the witch in Teen Witch. I loved that movie.

ETA: I felt that way about Lewinsky, too, Trudy.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That movie sounds odd, Alibelle.

Burrell, I don't know if all LA moms are insane. I'd like to think that it is no.

I fear it is true in my case, but then I keep coming across women that make me feel like I'm not too far gone. Then again, this weekend provided me with some convincing evidence that I'm in not grown up enough yet to be a mom.

Yeah. Hillary didn't deserve that (but hey, people HATE Hillary). Chelsea, however, could live a long happy life without that much fucking detail about her Father's sex life -- but nobody ever seemed to worry about her.

Hmmm... Burrell, that sounds intriguing. What happened?

I am such a bad teacher. I have work tomorrow (just meetings) but I am just now typing up my syllabus for 2 of my classes and I haven't even bothered to think about the third yet. I'm also trying to figure out the first days work. UGH. HATE. I'm such a procrastinator.

Southland Tales is by the Donnie Darko guy. Which means I meant to see it, and it's probably a love-it-or-hate-it thing. Although actually most of the comments I saw from people I trust were more like "it's interesting, but it's not actually good."

"it's interesting, but it's not actually good."

"Or sensical." And then you'd have my take. But that's good to know. I was beginning to feel like I was on drugs watching it. But then it would probably make more sense.

I'm glad that all these people I enjoy do seem to be having fun though. I wish I could join them. And geez, how long is this movie? I feel like I've been watching it for years. I keep pausing for things like the laundry, but still.
