Now tagless for your comfort.

How long ago was it that Victor witnessed Leo and his entourage being entitled jackasses in public?

Leo almost ran over my friend while riding a bicycle in Battery Park this past summer.

“Not dead yet!”

the script they're being asked to perform is dire. It's like Mad Men with the show:tell ratio completely reversed.

Do you think that's a product of the material they were working from to start with Jess? I couldn't help but note as I read the novel that the style has a certain distance built into it, in the telling and I wondered if that was because of when the novel was written (1961) or if it was a technique that Yates employed because the story was so gut-wrenching he maybe felt the reader needed a bit of distance to be able to take it in. I couldn't help but wonder if he was writing the book today if he wouldn't go for a bit more visceral, intimate style of writing.

I just skipped over the GG commentary, forgive me. But I was way too tired last night to even think of watching, and then I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't get to sleep for a long time, too.

That's three nights in a row with a sleeping pill, too. But two of them were at my Mom's too crowded, -- and thanks to thoughtless relatives -- too loud, apartment.

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

I haven't read the novel, so I couldn't say. All I know is I hated almost every second of it. It was like being hit repeatedly over the head by someone's thesis statement.

I highly recommend reading the Onion AV Club's GG Liveblog.

I just bought two Cadillacs for the sole purpose of having phone sex with them, and I don't know why.

BWAH!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's funny, because I just want to have sex with Kate Walsh after watching those ads.

Oh Bush. Even in your last press conference, you give me something ironic to mock. When talking to the press corps about his respect for them: "sometimes you misunderestimated me."

"sometimes you misunderestimated me."

Was it a genuine mistake, or a callback to the first time?
