As Requested...

Some random thoughts of the day:

-- I felt hated by the lunch gods today when, after heating up my soup, I realized that we were out of spoons. Out of spoons! Nevermind the fact that we had 6 unopened boxes of forks. I felt like the forks were mocking me, and momentarily considered trying to eat the soup with a fork. No go. I had to run across the street to get one which of course required re-heating the soup. Seems like a lot of work for some mediocre minestrone, eh?

-- ESPN radio better fix their player ASAP. I get crabby if I don't hear DP and Keith...

-- We watched the Will Farrell movie "Kicking and Screaming" on free-HBO this weekend. It was pretty dumb, save the hilarious quote from Mike Ditka: "Coffee is the best drink in the world. Even little kids in Mexico drink it!"

-- I have a new client from New Zealand. Would it be out of line (and ultra nerdy) to try to get him to say "Weta Workshop"? Okay, okay. Yes. That is a reference to the special features on the "Lord of the Rings" DVD. Yes. I watched them. Yes. I remembered it. Moving on.

-- Per T-Diddy's request on Saturday, some comments on the Oscars

- Favorite Moments: Helen Mirren's win (If you haven't seen "The Queen" it's worth the rental. She is absolutely transformative as QE), Alan Arkin beating Eddie Murphy (LOVED Little Miss Sunshine and him in particular), When the girl who played Little Miss Sunshine presented an award with Jaden Smith and he screwed up his line (She almost rolled her eyes at him, but was able to pull it together and be professional), the song and dance number by Will Farrell and Jack Black (Those guys are hilarious), and Beyonce resigning herself to playing 2nd fiddle to Jennifer Hudson in their performance. Great stuff.

- Fashion Hits: Reese (as per usu, although she is getting a little too skinny in her Post-Phillippe Phase), Helen Mirren (Memo to Helen: Please be more fabulous... oh wait, not possible), Diane Keaton (Never thought I'dput her on this list, but she looked great. Also for the record, no woman in her 60's has any business having skin that great), Gwyenth (Not for everyone, but I liked it. Very fashion forward).

- Fashion Misses: Kirsten Dunst (how many "Worst Dressed" lists does this girl need to be on before she gets a clue? And SHE went out with Jake Gyllenhaal? What kind of world is this?), Jessica Biel (If it had been 1987, she would have looked totally radical. In 2007, she looks outdated and ridiculous. Also, it's called a bra. Look into it.), Jennifer Hudson (Oh, Jennifer Hudson... Pockets in your gown? A bolero jacket? In silver? In a sequin? Oh, no, no no...)

Song of the Day: Good- Better than Ezra.

PS. For those of you who were wondering, yes, there was much rejoycing about this.
