Today's oatmeal was made with milk, almonds, and sugar-free Irish Cream syrup.
I am pronouncing it a success.
Slap my hand now!

When Olbermann read that last night, he was sooo geeked out over the fact that John Cleese actually wrote something for his show. Well, he was also (still) geeked out over the fact that John Cleese actually watches Countdown.
After he read it, complete with a spotlight on him from above, they cut to Rachel Maddow who was cracking up both from the poem and from the lighting. "I want that lighting!! We can do so much with that over here!" It was a pretty hilarious ending to the show last night.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Only a lot less fun.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Agent Kate is a nice lady with an iron fist. I'm finishing up my manuscript for Sam, and doing polishing tonight before I send it in the morning. Plus! I'm supposed to have the Sam drawings today!
And I'm utterly terrified.
Right now, I'm bringing Sam home, and he's meeting Nina, and they fall in love. I'm calling the chapter Home Is Wherever She Is.
Which is slightly lame, but what it is.

He flashed me a terrible look and I wanted to say, "Listen, motherfucker, aren't you supposed to be all non-judgmental!?"
I love this line like temple monkeys love blessed bananas.
Okay, I've downloaded the MS from the email to my desktop. It's a start.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The slide show there is fascinating. I don't understand why they didn't open up James Franco's eyes more, though. Maybe that's a male/female thing -- aren't bigger eyes more "attractive"?

Well, what I noticed Jesse, was that a lot of the people with larger eyes, that was one of the features that was altered, making them smaller.
They did it with Michael Cera's picture and it really reduced one of his more distinguishable features, IMO. It also took the wideness of his mouth and reduced it considerably.
I like the program on heritage.com that takes a photograph and matches it to celebrities. You can also morph pictures.
