The performance of my daily tasks is much improved by the second season of Sarah Conner Chronicles on Hulu. “Allison from Palmdale” WINS.
Good morning, online video. How’s it going? What are you up to? What should I write about you?
I am not going to get sick. Even if it means that I have to eat every clementine in this house. (We have a lot of clementines in the house.)

I am unashamed at how eager I am to see Wolverine in his own film.
AND Gambit. This movie might be awful but I am definitely excited.
Frost/Nixon: A Dishonorable Distortion of History →
The other reason I didn’t flip over Frost/Nixon was that I kept wanting to lean over and ask somebody, “Really, did that actually happen?” This article casts interesting light on some of the movie’s potential distortions.

So I know I know someone who knows someone who pals around with @wilw. Is that person you? Please drop me a line.
Have been living off dry cereal for about a week now, but bought groceries last night. Now I can have milk in my cereal! HIGH LIFE.
Have to go interview @james_gunn and a few other directors now. Should I wear my Wonder Woman t-shirt?
