    Don’t forget lawyers. Gotta always remember to thank the lawyers.

    Ahh.. The Oscars work and don’t work on so many levels!
    We may like to think we are all jaded, but we still like to watch the stars come out.

      Goddammit, I was saving the singing cockatiel for another post, how’d I screw that up. Link fixed.
