Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

What's the estimate on numbers of Freemasons in the US?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I thought Jodie Foster's speech was just...weird. It seemed like she hadn't quite made up her mind what she was going to say until she got up there. Also, hasn't she publicly acknowledged her (now ex, I guess) partner before? So she was coming out as...divorced? Kind of? And then at the end, announcing she was retiring from public..something. But she won't say what, because privacy!

I dunno, I found the whole thing very offputting. If you're going to spend that long telling us you're not going to tell us anything, I'd rather you just cut the speech short.

Punishingly Intricate

I thought Jodie Foster's speech was just...weird

Yeah, and her retrospective made me sad because of how awesome her early films were. I haven't seen, or wanted to see, anything she's done in years.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What's the estimate on numbers of Freemasons in the US?

A quick google suggests either 2.5m or 1.3m, depending on who you ask.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I don't watch award shows, but I love reading the watch-and-post. With no visual context, the reactions to the clothes are hilarious.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I thought Jodie Foster's speech was just...weird.

It was strange. I decided she was probably just drunk and maybe more nervous than she expected to be, all things considered.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I bet she's kind of a weird person, like all of them!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I listed 6 things on Ebay tonight.

It's like I was possessed by msbelle or JZ or something.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I emptied out the storage units at my folks' old place. I have a bunch of excess random tools, and a bucket, and a stepladder. And I would have had two martini glasses but Dad got them. So at least I have a couple new wine glasses, and two champagne flutes, and four tiny little port glasses.

I need to do the dishes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

The most striking moment for me in Foster's speech was when she spoke to her mother. I assume her mom must have dementia? Anyway, made me cry buckets.

I thought Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were great.
