You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Did Natalie Portman neglect to thank Mila Kunis in her acceptance speech?

She didn't thank any of the cast, instead thanking, like, every member of the crew.

i'm being facetious, but it was a little odd for her not to thank the cast.

Yes! He had such a sweet voice. And I'm completely charmed by the randomization of some of the lyrics.

Hailee Steinfeld Has Met With 'Hunger Games' Director

Best news of the night.

That had to be one of the most boring shows ever. Bizarre historical references. Bad dead-person montage. No real surprises or memorable moments. Anne Hathaway's dresses got worse and worse as the night went on. And the songs, my god, the songs.

DH goes to Vienna, we get snowed in. DH goes to Boston, the basement floods. DH goes to Beijing, the baby has a fever of 103.5.

Saturday, the DH went to NYC for a week of meetings. The nanny was admitted to the hospital yesterday with an infection.

When DH gets back, I am locking him in the basement.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man, Sparky! Good luck dealing.
