no lies detected. also, Bergman was 111000000000 times more attractive than him.

honestly, you are right. I don't know why I felt like I needed to qualify that as such. Sometimes I lack balls.

We finished "Casablanca." Now I finally appreciate "The Naked Gun." 

I liked this episode fine (kinda expected more from Lawrence who seems pretty cool) but I agree, the Starbucks sketch left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, liberal-white-guilt-wise. 

wow she is NEW! I love that name! Congratulations and take good care of yourself. Take it easy, seriously.

Back at you! Name/age? (Paul/5 mo)

One thing that I thought was kind of interesting was the way he reacted to Banks vs the way he reacted to Mindy Kaling. Obviously personality differences can exist but he seemed resentful of Kaling's progress and success whereas just sort of fascinated by Banks'.

It was funny how Marc was so unapologetic about knowing absolutely nothing about Pitch Perfect.

It's OK, I listened to it while reading email and I'm writing this while listening to a voicemail.

I really love "Kiss From a Rose" too. It blossoms (no pun intended) from a jokey karaoke scene into what's actually a pretty lovely medley. I'm going to go watch it now, instead of doing work.

Ha! No, I've hung up my Idol hat. The baby is too demanding (but then again, my frazzled, sleep-deprived state could be perfect for this new season). Thank you though.

Sometimes I see a little Nicole Ritchie when he's in drag.

I was really into Samantha Mathis' style when I first saw this movie and I have a vague recollection of trying to decorate my room like hers once I first saw it. And trying to write more letters. I saw it again last year and felt old and crabby because that's what adults are. "When you get old, your heart dies," to

It was from December? But New York, not New York-ER

Just tangentally related, did anyone else on here read the article in New York magazine about the trend of over-diagnosis (often of the self) of Asperger's as a catchall way of describing people who used to maybe just be called fussy or antisocial? It was interesting. 

Saunders is also a really nice guy, still being kind many years later to nobody bloggers who once interviewed him. I know that has no bearing on his skills as a writer but I like it when successful talented people are also good eggs.

My main complaint so far this broadcast is that there needs to be more Fey and Poehler. And now also I'm kinda looking forward to seeing JLaw hosting SNL.

I'm not ashamed to say I watch the Oscars for the entertainment the broadcast brings me, and not because I feel the awards are really a true measure of what is honestly good or not.

Sometimes if my husband is waiting impatiently for me, I go "I'm coming doctah, I'm coming doctah!" 

We are cool for half-hour installments of things. Stuff that is longer and requires undivided attention, especially at night, is harder to come by.
