Ramblings...

** Why is it that no matter what I'm doing, no matter what time of day it is, if "Rocky IV" comes on, I have to stop everything and watch it? It really is one of the greatest movie masterpieces of our time. My favorite line? When Rocky Jr. and pals are watching the fight and he says, "That's my dad" and the friend says, "What do you think we are? Nerds?" in this ultra-robotic tone. Priceless.

** It doesn't count if you give yourself a nick-name does it? When Wendy on Project Runway was like, "My nickname is 'The Longshot'," I started seriously wondering who gave her that name or if she just thought it sounded good. I, for the record thought that even if the nickname was stupid, those hats and t-shirts she had with her name and picture on them were beyond pathetic. Don't be that guy who wears the t-shirt with your picture on it.

** How long is it going to take before people realize that the Pope isn't actually alive- they're just playing the Vatican's version of "Weekend at Bernies"?

** "If I can change... and you can change... we all can change..."

** Chris Rock hosting the Oscars was much more enjoyable than the usual middle-aged loser they get to do it (Whoopi, etc.). I actually laughed. Out loud. More than once.

** My assistant smells. Can I ask her to take a shower without sounding like an jerk?

** Are the execs at Fox trying to ruin my week even more by playing a re-run of the OC tonight?

** ITunes is fantastic and addictive. New downloads that I'm currently enjoying: Keane, Cary Brothers, Joshua Radin & The Killers.

** My Oscar Dress Review... Hits: Gwyneth, Oprah, Kate, Cate. Misses: Natalie (Please don't tell me that Nat isn't better than that J-Lo knock off she was wearing), Charlize (feathers are not a good look on anyone), Hilary (don't get me started. TERRIBLE). Renee (is she a ghost? Seriously- I want to know!).

** Brakes have shoes. Who knew? They're expensive too. Must be Jimmy Choo or Manolos...
