There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

So very tired. Want to go back to bed. Except there are strange men in my bedroom putting holes in the walls.

Come to PA, Sue. You can keep my Mom entertained over breakfast.

If sleeping face first in my Corn Flakes would be entertaining to her, I'm your girl.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

NY1 is showing Mass. It's very confusing. But it's a new archbishop, and the last one just mentioned a press conference from the pulpit.

We've substituted Evelyn Hirsch's daughter with a Canadian. Will she notice?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I love Hugh Jackman, but I'm kind of over the hosting attitude of "We all know this sucks so let's just get through it." There is such a thing as too much snark, you know?

I like the concept of 5 former winners recognizing each nominee in each category, but the execution needed a LOT of work. Some of the speeches were fantastic (Marion Cotillard to Kate Winslet) but some were just weird and awkward (hellooooooo all the Best Actors!)

Dear cameraperson: Is the Milk screenwriter really the only out gay member of the audience? Really? Huh.

My blanket comment on everyone's dress this year: LOSE THE FREAKY SHOULDER STRAP THINGS. I saw at least 5 dresses that would have beenn really beautiful if someone hadn't hot-glued a hideous sash to the front.

I do not want to be at work right now. I especially do not want to be across town in the office I don't normally work in, but that's a whole nother rant.

I am profoundly unmotivated to work, while at the same time very strongly worried about not getting behind and failing on some of my newer job duties that overwhelm me (because I do not have a good understanding of the work and am getting no support). Really bad combination. Fretted into inaction might be a good way to describe it. One piece of paper at a time, I just pulled out a folder and I am just going to work through it piece by piece as far as I can - anything I get stuck on I am going to try and find someone to hand it off to.

Oh lord, I have that so bad.
