The DH met with Franco on a project and really liked him. He said he was REALLY smart, which is sometimes hard for an actor--especially a leading man type.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

HOOKERS AND BLOW!
That is fun! But my mind wants it in the cadence from that dog food commercial. "Hookers and blow, hookers and blow, I'm gonna get me some hookers and blow!"
So what's everyone else doing this weekend?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
"Hookers and blow, hookers and blow, I'm gonna get me some hookers and blow!"
Which takes my brain to "Dogs don't know it's not hookers and blow!"

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Weekend: Leading a workshop on the "building blocks of harmony," playing at church wherein there will be a big nasty announcement with lots of potential fallout, ugh, going to a completely different church where there are new people leading worship, throwing a house concert! Celtic fiddle, with guitar and mandolin accompaniment.
Busy! So until then there will be much cleaning of the house and other related panicky "I just got done being sick" work.

Because books.
I woke up with "hookers and blow" set to Burl Ives' "Silver and Gold".
Hookers and blow
hookers and blow
Everyone wishes for
hookers and blow.
How do you measure
their worth?
Just by the pleasure
they give here on earth.
I'm here all week. Tip your waitresses.

Punishingly Intricate
I can't speak to Franco being difficult to work with but a friend is in the admissions department at MICA and interacted with him when he was applying to grad school there (he ended up going to ... a bunch of other universities) and said he was very pleasant. And would have been accepted; his portfolio or whatever he submitted was very good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks, Amy, now I am laughing in a hotel lobby, when I'm supposed to look like I'm working!
This weekend, I hope to get home (I'm scared of forecast high wind in DC where I'm connecting and snow etc in Boston), plan to see Cedar Rapids tomorrow night, am going to a gospel concert with my family on Sunday, and then the Oscars!

I woke up with "hookers and blow" set to Burl Ives' "Silver and Gold".
Is it sung by Charlie Sheen?

This is the thing about James Franco: I would totally think he was a ridiculous dilettante, but I'm pretty sure Yale doesn't let people into their English Ph.D. program because they are famous.

I really am having a hard time not hollering "hookers and blow!" Which would be bad, seeing as how there's someone in the copy room next door who would totally hear me.
