OHMYGOD thank you, Uncle Simon! Take off your puffy coat and look at this sweet flower doodle I made on a post-it while I was in a conference call. I'm pretty proud of the shading.
Yeah, I would have been fine with either Perregrine or Abdi winning. And I also found it charming that the final three liked each other so much. Miles was a surprise -- I had kind of assumed he was going to end up winning the whole thing, but I also always found his work to be cool but lacking emotion.
Finally, I wish Simon would come to my house and encourage me in my work.
Yeah, this season of Top Chef is pants. Still rooting for Tiffany though!
Now who wants to talk about Work of Art? That finale made this soulless robot TEARY-EYED.
When you're escaping a mob of squealing tweens, Segway is pretty much the classiest way to escape, so Bieber gets a point from me for that.
And a point from this guy:

Young Fred Willard! It's held at the same mall where I saw 'Inception,' so I'm not totally convinced I'm not dreaming it up. I chose my totem VERY poorly (Cadbury egg, which I ate almost immediately).
I couldn't wipe the stupid grin off my face during some of the big scenes -- the weightlessness, the world exploding around Ellen and Leo, the city folding in on itself. This movie really made me feel like a giddy little kid, and that happens so rarely that I can forgive it any sin. Even the ending didn't bother me-- if it's reality, he's happy, and if it's a dream, he's happy, so does it matter if the top stops spinning?
This is long, but makes a compelling case for the whole thing being a dream:

Perhaps things would have turned out differently for Lindsay if she had hired this guy:

He's very good.
Need a good brain/palate cleanser after that, per usual:

(I highly recommend the whole series of polar bears eating watermelons over at http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/polar-bears-eating-watermelons)
The silver lining in all of this is that we're 3 hrs, 52 mins closer to the end of the world than the last time I posted this.

(Just kidding, there is no silver lining. What a nightmare day. I'm going to go visit the Roman Polanski thread and smile at puppies. What?)
Eh, I liked this show better when it was called "The Voyage of the Mimi" and starred a young Ben Affleck.

Who's with me, PBS nerds?
Love everyone in this, but is the message that chewing Orbit makes you stop caring about seriously wrong stuff? Because oh, boy, is this is going to save me a bundle in wine money!!
Yes, I'm 100% sure that's what happened! There's no other reason a character from a 2-year old movie would be featured so prominently in that stupid studio marketing "awards" "show."
In related news, Hollywood is doing an A++ job of hastening 2012!!! Great job, Hollywood!
Oh noes--I laughed at this but then watched some of his other videos, and he's clearly challenged in some way, right? So now I feel really bad. But he def. loves weather disasters and loves putting them out there for the world, so I will shut up and just LET FRANKIE BE GREAT.
Nothing makes me feel more like a grumpy old lady than this program! That's what they still call them, right? Programs?
I'm gonna nap now, plz wake me when it's 2012.
He's right, though--that's my exact thought process for every movie he's ever been in!
"I'm not seeing Cage play a weather man, how will he do that?"
"Cage as an agent who gets a face transplant to get the bad guy? Well, I never!"
"How is he going to portray a Matchstick Man, having never done it previously?"
etc.
I was hoping that the final title screen was going to say "LOST: a show by Banksy."
Because if the whole thing was a performance art piece meant to show me that I should not care so much about a TV show, then it was VERY SUCCESSFUL.
I'm pretty sad that I watched that, but on the other hand, A++ video for IM'ing to one's brother and getting the response "WHAT THE FUUUUUU" back. Turns out, spreading sadness to others is pretty satisfying!
