Roller Derby Girl (well, not quite...)

I went roller skating tonight. Yes, roller skating. More on this later.

I miss heath

What do you bet he gets a posthumous Oscar for his performance in The Dark Knight a la James Dean??

Hilarity from defamer

"The only way that C asey Affleck could've been more adorable on Oprah would have been to do his interview while completely covered in newborn kittens wearing tiny cowboy hats."

and this is a pic from the only good part of that movie.

Dearest Esmee

Darling Esmee,

I was beyond excited to see a brown box on the kitchen table when I got home tonight. I was even more excited to see it had my name on it! Of course my excitement continued with the THREE packages that were waiting inside for me!!! (Dodie, in case she didn't tell you she got me a beautiful picture frame - which will soon hold pictures of you both, a gorgeous blue box with gold detail and a lovely green dish). You know me so well, they are exactly what I wanted. They are so totally my taste and the way I want my apt to look. Just beautiful little things that make it look classy and grown up (but useful too!). So so so much better than a brown mat. I absolutely love them and they came at the perfect time when everything seems so dark, they brightened up my day.

Love you so so much! You are both the most important people in the world to me and always will be. I miss you both terribly right now and cannot wait to see you soon!


Love, Charles

Today was a truly sad day at work. we are all devastated

The Only Good Thing About The Writers Strike...

The only issue I've ever had with The Daily Show was the amount of time spent on the weird skits and side interviews that tend to be uncomfortable and often not at all funny (with the notable exception of Paul Rudd's re-enactment of the farmer who resuscitated a chicken using mouth-to-mouth). But now the show is basically broken down into two parts:
1.) Jon Stewart making fun of the news and saying whatever random shit that pops into his head and
2.) The main interview with people like the crazy dude who wrote "Liberal Fascism" and thinks that organic food is the food of the nazis.

Anyways, I once again have a car (one that drives better than my poor previous car ever did) and that means I once again have access to wifi via panera, and well, the libary. Well, I have to go pack some more and then sit through one of la mere's concerts. If I survive this ordeal, I'll write more later.

Best Pats ad ever

this was the ad that played during the game last week and it was so funny my jaw just sort of dropped and then I burst out laughing. in case you missed it here is the link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=CrBl688ie_k
I especially like that it is clearly cold enough in this picture that needed to wear long sleeves under his hoodie and yet still chose to wear one of his hoodies where he inexplicably cut the sleeves off. so confusing and yet so bizarrely awesome!

the immigration debate

odd to see a top 40 song weighing in on immigration. wyclef is always so catchy.

I should really stop watching the hills...

but i'm totally obsessed. love this spoof. why can't james franco be this funny in the movies???

The Esmee trip

So Esmee, I have been thinking about what we discussed for the next time for you to come visit me and I am think we should def do you fly to Vegas and I meeting you there (like a Friday night the way Dodie and I did last year) and then we can go to all the casinos etc. to see the animals and all the crazy stuff (like the people who are so focused on the slot machines they can't be bothered to ash their cigs) and then we can have a nice dinner and then go to a show. Obvs I ADORED the Beatles Love show but you should check out to see what else is going on and we can figure out if there are any cool concerts or anything else you would prefer to see (sorry...celine is no longer there though! kidding!) but maybe if we could go to a Killers concert? AND we should also def go to a spa at I think it was the Mirage (dodie do you remember?) and get pedicure (and we should remember to bring our own flipflops this time!). And we would get a nice meal at one of the fancypants restaurants at the hotels (sushi? :)) and then we would fly back to LA on Sunday (probably mid-dayish cause we would have to check out of the hotel and Vegas is exhausting, best if taken in small increments). Of course this is if you want to do this. But i would love if my big birthday treat was taking you to Vegas and we can spoil ourselves silly! And then you can come back to LA with me and maybe I can get a day or two off (pending what on earth I am doing at that point) and we can just chill in LA if thats all right with you...you could have my car and explore LA on your own (i really do love LA and hope you do too...plenty of good things to do!).

Totally missing new TV.

effing writers strike.

Tom Brady man of action

Oh Tom Brady, how we love you. How we love that you have had a perfect season and how we just defeated Jacksonville (although I am not really sure who exactly cares about jacksonville). Such a quarterback and so hot. 'nuff said.

Huzzah!! a movie with Dylan Moran!!

Dearest Esmee, there seems to be a movie made just for you. It stars Simon Pegg and Dylan Moran plays his best friend. Constantly smoking naturally. In fact, i don't think he appears in the trailer without a cig dangling from his mouth. You must check out the trailer. Looks funny by sheer presence of Dylan. Fabulous that he in an upcoming movie, doncha think?
