–I think the reason the Oscars seem like they’re longer every year is because there’s a little voice in my head saying, “HELLO, I’m hovering ever closer to the abyss–the one with the Grim Reaper standing at the edge–so could we GET ON WITH IT?”
–Anyone who talks smack about Meryl Streep? Show me your fourteen freaking Oscar nominations, ‘kay? Do ANY two people ever look like they’re having more fun at the Oscars than Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson? Proof that a) they have SO made it, and b) they understand that the right work is joy and life is fun, and oh, okay, possibly for one of them, c) substances can be our friend.
–I don’t think it’s likely that many straight women and most gay men can hear the song “It’s Raining Men” while driving in the car without shouting out at least one smiling, “Hallelujah!”
–Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies? Little circles of paradise.
–I still love Al Gore. I understand him. He’s an Aries. I once had a dream about Al Gore, and–but wait. I mostly don’t talk about my dreams on LiveJournal.
I love Ralph Nader in a completely platonic way. Like I could picture us walking through a field of daisies holding hands while he explained the world to me.
I think I have to agree with Lisa–your user pic is kind of creepy. But that is its appeal, probably.
Ralph always seems so serious. He may need a friend and a field of daisies.
KINDA?! It’s truly loathsome, and yet … there IS something about it. I won’t use it for long, just until the romance is over and of course I have scared everyone.
As always, you crack me up…
i’m a samoa girl
i luv me some jack nicholson. for as long as i can remember, i’ve thought he was super cool.
substances? possibly, but it’s ok since he’s at such a level o’ cool.
Re: i’m a samoa girl
I bought an entire box of Samoas. I mean, like a case. A case of Samoas and a case of Thin Mints. They’re now living on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator and I hope they last a long, long time.
Re: i’m a samoa girl
haha – i got a case too. cuz you never know…
Re: i’m a samoa girl
I thought initially you meant the Pacific Islanders… SAMOANS, MARIKA!!!
This year, we recorded the Oscars, started watching 2 hours late, and zipped through all the commercials and endless speeches. It was a much better way to watch, and I didn’t even try to kill anyone over my hatred of awards shows.
Now that is the way to watch an awards show!
Hmmm. That IS smart.
“It’s Raining Men” is great. You’re probably right about the effect. I’ve always wondered how many people who come to NYC are crazy about “Native New Yorker,” like I was/am.
Some songs just go Tommy Chong and say, “Hey, I understand you, man.”
As the song says: “You’re no tramp, but you’re no lady — talkin’ that street talk”
Yes, there is a reason why I go to ground at the Girl Scout Cookie time of year.
When we saw Meryl Streep on the Oscars, Alan and I started trying to figure out which Streep movies were our favorites — and there were so many favorites that it was harder trying to remember ones we didn’t like as much. She consistently is amazing. Sophies Choice, A Cry In the Dark, Kramer Vs. Kramer, Death Becomes Her, She Devil, Ironwood, Out of Africa, The French Lieutenant’s Woman, Silkwood, Postcards From the Edge, The Hours, Adaptation, The Devil Wears Prada, River Wild — just to name a few! And now I read she is filming Mamma Mia, which brings Meryl and ABBA together — how can that be anything but good?
Freeze them, and paradise gets even better.
You’re so right. At the moment, they are living in the fridge, ’cause there’s no room in the freezer.
–LOL @ the comment on the length of the Oscars. I kept thinking, “I have to teach an 8 o’clock class in the morning” as I looked at the clock.
–As for Meryl, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER!!!! But still, that makeup smock she was wearing… please.
–”Hallelujah!!!!” =0)
–I like to spread peanut butter between Thin mints to make my own li’l sandwich cookies.
I still love All, too.
–Gary
Meryl’s outfit was supposedly Prada. They need to give her better Prada next year.
So sad
The last time girl scouts came to my door selling cookies, I ordered Thin Mints. A year and a half later…still no Thin Mints. Bad girl scouts.
Re: So sad
You mean you never got the Thin Mints you ordered? I’d have cried. Did you cry?
