Compassionately intolerant

I think Franco was stoned.

I said this out-loud to the folks I was watching with. I've seen him in interviews and, while not riveting, he seemed much more lucid than last night.

Hathaway now joins Sandra Bullock in my mind as naturally entertaining women. Funny, calm, engaged in the endeavor, flexible and just plain good at the job.

Too bad about Franco. Ah well, GH still loves him.

Art Crawl!!!

Man, why must the DMV, Sec of State's office, or whatever you may call it be so damned frustrating?

There is a mobile unit that comes to campus once a month and I went to do the written test. (I'm trying to get my driver's license). And I consider doing this an onerous task, by the way.

I had my passport: picture that I'm me and I'm a US citizen, social security card - further proof that I'm in the system AND my voter's registration card - proof that I live in DeKalb. (Surely, they can check any one of these things.) But no, they want more and my direct deposit slips from the university that contain my address AND a subscription renewal bill (these are things that I happened to have with me) were not proof enough.

I can't believe how difficult it is to get i.d. here.

Punishingly Intricate

there really is something that Franco isn't great at.

Well, he really was not given much to work with. That was some weak material. I think Anne Hathaway came off okay because she just went full on goofball.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The cat library:

It looks almost exactly like MM's Monstro. (I almost called it "Aims and MM's" but I think Aims vigorously and violently disavows any affiliation with Monstro.)

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I don't want to encourage my cats anywhere near bookshelves.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

That was some weak material.

Did Bruce Vilanch script the show? If so, they may want to bring in fresh blood. Last night was staler than the 5-year old coffee I found in the bank of the pantry yesterday.

I think they have a number of writers, including Ricky Gervais this year.

They need to just let Ricky host. With a 7 second delay button.

What she said. Though if he really did script part of the show, I hope it wasn't any of the Franco/Hathaway stuff. That would be disappointing.
