I am in season 2 of Arrested Development and it is making me laugh out loud.

I cracked up that one of the Costume Design winners looked like somebody's aunt just back from a trip to Wal-Mart.

The first season of AD, and I didn't laugh out loud once, but it felt really weird how much I cared about them--Buster especially. I was watching it like a soap opera and so invested in his moods and stuff. But I did get in some good laughs before Charlize came and Thernoned it up (which I do not blame on her at all).

But we're in an unprecedented period of glasnost here, and obsession tradeoff--hell, I think she is becoming a Dean girl, if I'm reading between the lines. And me a Darryl girl...whoulda thunk it?

OMG, Buster bothers the fuck out of me. I can't take him.

I need a photo of the boots HBC was wearing onstage for the Les Miz performance. Anyone with better google-fu want to help me out?

Sorry that I have no -fu to offer, but be it noted that the very moment she walked onstage I turned to megan walker and said, "Jilli needs those boots. Unless she already has them."

I'm quite peeved that Mirror, Mirror didn't win costume design. Come on, Academy! All this totally goofball pretty! These glorious wealthy, titled idiotic eyesores! Human chess pieces wearing these hats with working cannons! Plus, megan pointed out that the designer just died after a miserable battle with pancreatic cancer; even if she couldn't have won for doing utterly fabulous costumes just because they were in a mediocre movie (which, the hell? They've done it before -- she won twenty years ago for Bram Stoker's Dracula), couldn't they have squeezed out a pity Oscar?

Meh, it hardly matters. Even in the fantasy Oscars in my head, that's still the only award that movie won; every other category was swept by Moonrise Kingdom.

Well, by Hec's estimation Buster's boring, but I like him, Oedipal issues and all. He means well,, and most of the rest don't/

I'm going to try sleeping with the pulse ox again. It came off at some unknown point last night, and I suspect it will again. I wish I had an easy way to know how much it recorded before I rolled over.

Sorry that I have no -fu to offer, but be it noted that the very moment she walked onstage I turned to megan walker and said, "Jilli needs those boots. Unless she already has them."

I turned to my stepmom and said I loved her boots, paused and realized they were Jilli boots. And moved to text because "OMG HBC has your boots!" Hopefully I used fewer ALLCAPS. I'll try to Google now that I am home. Does not help that she changed entirely from her red carpet look (which I loved and would wear immediately) into something difficult to Google.

I hate questions for which I cannot easily Google an answer.

It's at about 1:51 here [link] but it's terrible quality. How can there be this little footage?

that will not settle the argument Beau and I had, however.
