    Yay Glee!

    Did anyone actually watch ANTM last night? Was it any good? Or are shorties lame? I've got it DVRed, but it's gonna need to compete with Vampire Diaries...which is a pretty low bar to set.

    Liz Hanks or (EA Hanks and she prefers to be called) is the worst. I had to sit through a dinner with the Vassar grad while she pontificated about the YA novel she was writing about a dog-- she said she was about (drumroll please...) 1/3 of the way through. (so I figure that's 30 pages?) then went on to say she was getting ready to meet with 'many agents' that were interested in repping her writing. That was a year ago...wonder how the book is coming? Papa Tom looked on v. proudly through all of this.

    ugh

    @Maria Hanson: In fairness, all sorts of writers yack endlessly about their own stuff. And some of Hanks' coworkers (who didn't hesitate to diss others) told me she seemed pretty sharp.

    @Ryan Tate:
    Ryan, you're absolutely right..I didn't add the detail of the other people seated at the table for dinner. Several literary luminaries, Tony winning writers and a couple of Oscar winning filmmakers. My takeaway was that she really felt that she was the most interesting person at the table--(since she never shut up) and she clearly wasn't.

    If the Puffington Host [TNR, natch] won't pay, don't write for them.

    Especially when they value the ego of rich people's children over your actual work.

    Leave, stop writing, now. I guarantee you'll not lose money.

    thus was it ever, except more so

    Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer-except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs. Perhaps this was partly because there were so many pigs and so many dogs.

    ... Only old Benjamin professed to remember every detail of his long life and to know that things never had been, nor ever could be much better or much worse-hunger, hardship, and disappointment being, so he said, the unalterable law of life.

    Was last night Darrell Hammond's last show? During the goodbyes the cast kept pointing at him, making a big to-do. Has this been announced? Say what you will about him, but he has the longest tenure in the show's history. Seems if it was his last episode he would get a better sendoff, no? Unless he didn't want one, which is possible.

    @Midwesterner in NYC: Hammond did get the last line of the last sketch, and you're right they were making a fuss over him. So it's likely he's not returning in the fall.

    @lacieca01: Me three. There were a lot of ways they could have opened the show, with him as Cheney being one of the weakest. That's what tipped me off. And he seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't want a fuss made over leaving. Wonder what he's going to do now.

    @noonecaresowen: I was thinking that too, but it didn't hit me until they made it obvious at the end. He has the longest full-time tenure ever and apparently has done the cold opening more times than anyone else. I would imagine he might make cameos in the future, but this was a way to say goodbye as a full-timer. It's strange, because I've seen him say in interviews that SNL was his only career goal. He never wanted to use it as a stepping stone into sitcoms or movies.

    I watched the Ferrell clip, and I saw less of a "fuck you" than you did, Foster. I think you're the one with your finger up, and you projected it onto him.


    Ferrell did a one-man show, not a play. It's not that hard to understand why he's in a different category, one in fact where he actually has a chance to win. Do you think he would have a chance in Hell of even being noticed in a Best Actor category? He was not the biggest name in entertainment to appear on stage this season, by far.


    If the idea is that he was slumming, and doing poor Broadway a favor and should be thanked on TV, thanks but it doesn't need those kinds of favors.


    Now where are those aspirin...oy, my head...
