OMG, I forgot that after the grease fight in Transporter he goes mouth to mouth with a guy underwater. Did straight women and gay men take over Hollywood while I wasn't paying attention? Is there a mafia I should be aware of? I don't want to miss out on a sharp dress code, or anything.

My fucking god. Freddie Mercury has been dead for 20 years and Holli's an adult. What the shit?

Ima reheat some turkey/stuffing/mashed potatoes.

I have no pie. I do have ice cream!

I've been banging away at the essay and book proposal. The dog keeps barking at nothing. Eventually, someone will be breaking into my place and she'll be going nuts and I'll be screaming, SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY just before a robber shoots me in the face.

I'm afraid to get excited for the new muppets. Can someone at least tell me that jar jar binks isn't in it? The last time I got super excited about a franchise return of a beloved iconic thing from my youth and was SO STOKED to be in the theater, jar jar binks was in it, and shit has never been the same.

Suela, I will happily see The Muppets with you, anytime at all. I'm still completely giddy. (And the Pixar short before the movie starts is damn near worth the ticket price all on its own; the splendidness of the actual feature put the entire afternoon deliriously over the top.)

And Allyson, it is 100% Jar Jar free. The only new Muppet is Walter, Gary's (Jason Segal's) brother (and there's not only no explanation for how they're brothers, nobody seems to expect one or even care in the least), and he's sweet (if very mildly emo, but he's a lonely Muppet in a human world so I guess he's entitled), amiable and completely non Jar Jarry.

Heard back from eBay gamer seller. "It should be obvious when you buy a used game that the code will be in use and the issue will need to be got around. But if you insist you can send it back and I'll refund your money." To which I said, "No, it's not at all obvious that an item for sale on eBay is sold in an unusable condition and will need to be hacked. I will refrain from adding a note to my feedback that says you sell items that need to be hacked."

If I don't get a refund, though, notes will be left.

Ugh, Connie, what witless bullshit.

Excellent news on the jar jar front!

I want to try using one of those organizing systems because I get so overwhelmed by all the shit I need/want to do, but I couldn't focus long enough to finish reading about any of them. There's some irony there or something.

Pretty sure I had something else to say, but I forgot.

Oh, I know - The Hidden Habits of Ineffective People. I printed it out to hang on the wall.

I check gothamist daily to make sure Adam Yauch is still alive.

It's such a morbid habit.
