Charlie Sheen can bend his pinkie finger into a ninety-degree angle. Oh, yeah, that's something I didn't need to see before I went to bed. *wince*

So I've been killing time watching the pregame interviews for TAR on CBS. (Yay! Only a week and a half until the first episode! Thank you, God, for giving me something to obsess over while Lost goes away!) Hee ... Rob and Amber look so dopey-cute in their interview. Yeah, they're a little arrogant about the whole thing, but they won Survivor, so I guess they deserve a wee bit of arrogance about it since they actually have a winning track record. And Lynn and Alex, the gay couple, are freakin' adorable, although how the hell is one of them hiding the fact that he's gay from his family? Those two ping so much gaydar, I'm amazed they're not trailed by their own personal Village People cover band.

In other news, am now washing all of my laundry. I think it says something about me that when I do wash all of my clothes, I have a load of whites, a load of jeans, a load of darks, and a load of Holy-crap-my-eyes!-I'm-BLIND pinks, reds, and oranges.

*sigh* Boy, there's just nothing on TV after midnight, is there? (... she says, as she sits four feet away from 230 DVDs ...) And I have to get up early to go pick up my paycheck. Again. Because there's nothing like wasting an entire morning because someone else is an asshole. *grrr*

AWARD SHOW JUNKIE OF EDIT: Spotted on IMDb ...

Some of Hollywood's lesser known talent figure that they'll bear the brunt of Oscar producer Gil Cates's announced plans to group some of the nominees together in the audience and have the presenter open the envelope revealing the winner standing there. Three-time Oscar-winning editor Walter Murch reportedly sent an email to the motion picture academy Wednesday accusing it of applying a "People magazine index" to the nominees. And Lea Yardum, a spokeswoman for both the American Cinema Editors and the Visual Effects Society, was quoted by today's (Thursday) New York Post as saying, "There's a sense of devastation around this. They've worked so hard to get these artists the recognition they richly deserve; for the Academy to even consider taking it away is a true slap in the face."

You know, I haven't said anything about this yet, but Gil Cates has got to be on some pretty good crack to think this is a good idea. Hey, Cates! If you're so friggin' worried no one will watch this year because blockbusters didn't get nominated, it won't help if people keep flipping onto the show to see this crap. It's an awards show, damn it. PUT PEOPLE ON A STAGE.

David Edelstein pointed out a lovely solution to Cates' bullying. The nominees should just refuse to come. Why should they have to deal with Cates taking away their ability to make acceptance speeches or herding them onto the stage like beauty pageant contestants?

Like, sideways (the pinkie)? Ew. I can pop both my pinkies out of joint so they go limp and floppy, but that's different. :D

Your laundry is less weird than the guy at the laundromat some years ago who pulled up, opened the doors, reversed right up to the door in his van, squeeeeeeeeeezed past the back of the van to get inside, opened the back of the van, got out a dozen loads of laundry, got out a roll of paper towels and a bottle of windex, acted crazy for a while until everyone else got out of his way, grabbed 12 washers in a row, windexed them thoroughly inside and out with many paper towels, then dumped each load in a washer: The white load, the black load, the pink load, the purple load, the orange load, the green load, the yellow load.... Each load was quite seriously it's own color, and a whole full-size load, and they weren't sports uniforms. Everyone else in the place kind of huddled together and gaped at the crazy man while waiting for their shit to dry.

Yeah, sideways. He held up his right hand with his palm to him and the back of his hand facing the audience, then pulled down his pinkie until it was at a ninety-degree angle to his hand. And it wasn't even bent at a joint, it was bent at the middle of that bone closest to his palm, which ewwww.

what, everyone can't do that? I can do that with my elbow and knees. (In the opposite direction of most people) It's called hypermobility, or double jointed...alot of people have it.

He wasn't bending at the joint, he was bending at the middle of the bone. Trust me, I've seen double-jointed, and that wasn't double-jointed. Gyah.
