It's impossible for me to tell you how much I need this right at this moment. Scottie pinwheel is the only thing that is getting me thru this day without crying.
“I do admire Wonka. He’s a true capitalist. His factory has zero government regulations, slave labor, and an indoor boat. Wonderful.”
I will miss the hell out of 30 Rock.
"First I called my class at UCLA, and told them to watch Apocalypse Now,
And that it used Heart of Darkness as a model, and that we’d watch
Eleanor Coppola’s Hearts of Darkness, the making-of, the following week.
Then I read Frank’s note. He said he was sleeping twenty hours a day,
With no symptoms except that he desired sleep
And just a little more sleep. He’s in his seventies."
Just checking: His friend "Frank" is Francis Ford Coppola, right? He's just being super chill and low-key about it, correct? Because that's how James Franco rolls, he is not about name-dropping.
(I watched Freaks & Geeks this AM, the one where Bill dresses up as Wonder Woman - that show is so great that James Franco would have to murder puppies for me to stop loving him just a little).
These are all wonderful but the thing this week that absolutely killed me was tiny panda paw:

If they had video of this guy, I would actually squee myself to death.
Or, wear panties with your ridiculous dress and batshit crazy "shoes" (did you see those things) when you know you will be getting out of a car in front of a shit ton of paparazzi so that you don't end up like the umptillion female celebrities before you who had this issue. I mean come on, for everyone that is giving her so much praise, she's not exactly Rosa Parks. "How dare these photgraphers take my picture which is their job and then sell a picture that will bring them a lot of money? Paparazzis taking unfortunate photos has only been going on for several decades, I can't be expected to factor that into how I live my panty free life".
#6, how do I wedge myself in that snuggle pile? For fans of interspecies snorgling, look for the episode of Nature on PBS called "Animal Odd Couples" . It will KILL you. All the animal pairs are wonderful but the one that flattened me was a 16 year old horse who went blind. They were going to put the horse down but a goat decided to take on the job of being the horse's seeing eye goat and they became inseparable buddies.

"Look honey, you have a dynamite shape, but you’re gonna have to shut up and let a man tell us what’s happening. Now, is your father or a policeman nearby?"
SPOILER ALERT
I know I'm supposed to feel bad for Thomas after this week's episode but I kinda don't cause he's still Thomas. Agreed that pitting him and O'B against each other (rather than having them do random acts of evil against others) was a good move.
I do feel bad that I still hate Daisy. She irritates the bejesus out of me.
Surprised at how much I love Branson, I mean Tom, this season.
And the back door in the kitchen that led to the service elevator was wallpapered to blend into the (hideously) wall-papered wall. Almost as scary as the Francis Gothic House of Pain.
I'm tyring to think of something more intelligent to say in response to that article but really, I just keep coming back to "what a douche". Good news for David Simon: I hwas bored by GK and Treme so I won't be making any wearing comments online about those shows at least. OMAR RULZ.
"I was practicing my answer....Well, I daresay a lot of the things you do sound stupid to other people!"
Looking forward to S2 re-caps..so many dinners!
The Girl Scout Cookie review is terrifying (but accurate):

where are the parents? in my day, fat kids (i.e. me) hid in shame like they should, etc etc get off my lawn...
"but I have no time so I just pop the old cabeza in [Ed. note: UH, WHAT?] "
Wiki says: Cabeza is a Spanish word meaning "head". In Mexican cuisine, it is used to describe the meat from a roasted head of a cow, served as a taco or burrito filling[1].
I have no idea how that makes any sense in the context of whatever she is dodging on and on about.
This kid was on "Toddlers & Tiaras" last week, I saw the clip of it on "The Soup" (which is not to say I am above watchiing T&T, I'm not).
This poor child is actually two and yes I realize whether she's 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 etc, it's still heinous. This is the T&T footage of Mia, complete with Mom howling "yeah Mia, work it!" (and a scary pagent dad):

Did we all note that this lady's name on YouTube is "lifeofagreatmommy" and that she has her own little channel? Let's get to know her, shall we?
About Me: At one particular passage in my luscious life, I described myself as being " A Mother on a mission. A Woman with a vision".
Now, I shall simply answer to the tasty tidbit of my own yummy tune ... " One hungry and most happy heartbeat; making love to a universe that adores me, unconditionally!"

She got a whole wacked-out life up there on YT...including a video about her son (POOR KID) getting accosted by kids who cut off his braid...she has a video up of her sobbing and cradling the braid..it's...supremely disturbing.

Random quote from the video: "There are people who don't want me in this building because I look good in a bikini".
"I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a movie with more two-dimensional characters"
Two words: "Couples Retreat"
I am seriously intrigued by how awful Kate Hudson is in this movie - not to imply that anyone in this movie is remotely good - but Kate Hudson is so unlikable and horrible and wooden and un-human-like that it is a wonder she still is allowed to make movies. The only way this movie could have been worse was if Katherine Heigl played the Anne Hathaway part. Had that happened, we could have put in end to WMOAT because GAME OVER.
My prediction is that Gabe will blow his own head off well before Season 5, and I predict it will be Hope and Michael's angst-ridden house renovation (the breakfast nook!) that will send him over the age.
I second DuckDuck. The Happening is on HBO now and nothing I read about it prepared me for how bad it actually is. It has to be experienced to be appreciated for the depths of its awfulness. I didn't watch the whole thing, maybe the first 10 minutes and the last 30 minutes but feel I deserve a medal for enduring that much. Please consider this for WM status, you will not be disappointed, its worstness is epic.
