"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I'm telling you, ita, you are welcome to yell it as often as you want at my students.

Y'all have me wondering how I can work "HOOKERS & BLOW!" into the meeting I'm running tomorrow morning.

Which is especially bad since I also have to work in a sympathy card for a coworker whose aunt just died.

Which reminds me, I never told them my aunt died, after letting them know it was terminal. Since there was no service or anything, and I just sort of shut down processing it until the weekend after. Huh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hookers and blow! And I don't understand why Charlie Sheen isn't in prison.

(This recipe called for 1/4c chili powder. Sheesh. I don't want to put in 1/4c of any spice. It's scary)

It's awesome! I never use a recipe for chili, but always use a shitload of chili powder. And chipotles. And extra cumin.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Y'all have me wondering how I can work "HOOKERS & BLOW!" into the meeting I'm running tomorrow morning.

Yell "Hookers and blow!" then say, "I just wanted to make sure you were listening."

It wasn't like Sheen said a lot of sane and reasonable things, and then there was this one slur. He said Lorre was a piece a shit, that the concept of addiction was for sissies, and kept insisting he was clean while sounding like a lunatic.

Mel Gibson is working in a movie Jodie Foster's directing, last I heard.

That and another movie were filmed before the tapes came out last summer. Since then... he was going to have a cameo in The Hangover 2 but the cast balked.

Thrive to spite them

Did anyone watch Grey's Anatomy tonight? I was flipping channels and missed why the lung transplant guy had to break up with his girlfriend.

Gibson's new movie doesn't sound normal -s omethign about a guy who only communicates with a beaver hand puppet. I mean he had the puppet doing the talking. Plus Jodi Foster has been defending Gibson which I don't get at all.

I feel bad for the rest of the cast and crew on Two and Half Men, I don't think there's anyway they can get rid of Sheen and still have the show go on.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I don't think there's anyway they can get rid of Sheen and still have the show go on.

I guess you didn't see that season of Laverne and Shirley without Shirley. Or the recasting of Darren on Bewitched. Or The Hogan Family (where they lost the title character).

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Chuck Lorre has said he's not interested in turning the show into One and a Half Men. (Also, that show has kind of run its course. The kid is like 17 now.)

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

I don't think either of those was created as a Cindy Williams or Dick Whichever vehicle.

The Hogan Family comes closer, but I don't know if Valerie Harper had quite the same Q score as Charlie that long after Rhoda.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm just saying, don't underestimate Hollywood's interest in milking a successful show no matter what the circumstances.

Laverne and Shirley was half a Cindy Williams vehicle. It was a huge hit when she went on salary-strike.
