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!

Coding and Sleeping

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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I woke up with "hookers and blow" set to Burl Ives' "Silver and Gold".

Me too!

The three of us need to get drunk one night and walk arm in arm down the sidewalk singing this....
