Harper’s quote of the day:
“Almost everyone is Jewish. Except boys.”
Roger Ebert’s assessment of Natalie Portman in No Strings Attached:
“All the same, she does what she can; she has an edge, aggressive timing, and impressive enthusiasm for sex romping.”
1. Are we calling it “sex romping” now? I wish I had known because that means I could have gotten a head start on saying “sex romping” in casual conversation. ...
Brian Greene on math and physics, and Stephen...
GREENE: Math describes how your particles move; how they behave; how they interact. You are a bag of particles governed by the laws of physics.
COLBERT: That... is a great pickup line.
Brett and I are going rollerskating for my birthday on Saturday because I stopped growing emotionally at age 12. I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. The place we are going boasts the following:
12,000 square foot hardwood maple floor
Live DJ
Really Intense Sound & Awesome Lighting
7 Giant Video Screens
Huge Gamers Area
Perky’s Pizza Kitchen
Wireless Internet
I am excited to find...

Is it normal to cry uncontrollably while you watch American Idol? I don’t know because this is my first season. I’m going to go watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion to balance this shit out.

This is a great read for writers at any level, IMO. I have an opinion and it is that! Create, do; you can’t go wrong. I will try not to be a hypocrite about this.

This is really, probably my last Ryan Gosling...
Me: Ryan Gosling and I were wearing the SAME jacket. Well, almost the same. I mean his was leather, but it was same pattern!
Brett: It’s fate. You’re meant to be with the costume designer from Blue Valentine.
“First Blue Valentine, now, from Denmark, Applause: In less than a month I’ve had to endure two intense psychodramas in which the jittery, handheld camera hovers dermatologist-close to actors’ faces beset by seismic waves of grief and rage.”
NY Magazine
This is what I got from that: I’m going to be dermatologist close to Ryan Gosling’s face tonight!!!

Things I have stopped myself from writing on Facebook this week:
1. This is why we aren’t friends anymore. I LOVE the new Bachelor.
2. You know what, Rick Springfield? I’m very disappointed in you. AGAIN.
Me: I’m seeing Blue Valentine tomorrow night.
Brett: What’s that one?
Me: (meekly) Ryan Gosling.
Brett: You know I’d feel a lot better about this whole thing if you didn’t act ashamed every time you said his name. I almost bought you a GQ with him on the cover.
Me: Why didn’t you? Brett: I didn’t think it would give you what you want.
Me: What do I want?

Harper: I want to be a man when I grow up. I don’t want to be a woman.
Brett: Why? Harper: Because I want to be a daddy. Brett: Why do you want to be a daddy and not a mommy?
Harper: Because I want a mustache! I want a mustache real bad, daddy.
Girls can have mustaches, too. I have been known to sport them in my time.
Love it. I will show it to her...
Harper: I want to be a man when I grow up. I don’t want to be a woman.
Brett: Why? Harper: Because I want to be a daddy. Brett: Why do you want to be a daddy and not a mommy?

Clyde was in the bathroom with me and threw an entire roll of toilet paper into the toilet. I yelled out to Brett and Harper who was in the other room coloring.
Me: Clyde threw a roll of toilet paper into the toilet!
Harper: What?
Brett: Clyde threw the toilet paper into the toilet.
Harper: (not looking up from coloring) That’s acceptable, right?

And let me add, Mr. Marley, know when to let go of the ones who are not!
I never watch American Idol. But I had to now because Steven Tyler was my boyfriend in my imagination when I was 16, so we had a lot to catch up on. But this show is killing me! I save all my TV crying for Oprah, but this is like watching three Oprah episodes back to back! This is like if Oprah had on orphans who all thought they were just there to watch Oprah get her makeup done, but instead...

Things I have said to inanimate objects in the last 24 hours:
My GPS (“ Well, listen I hope you’re right.”)
My lemonade (“I love you, I love you, I love you.”)
The remote (“Don’t be a dick.”)
My pants (“Let’s think about this and talk next week.”)
Cherry pie (“I mean, alright. Let’s do this.)
“In 2009, the Census Bureau estimated that there were 581,000 same-sex couples in...”
– What, do we gay singles not count!?! Really Census? REALLY!?!?! NY Times article: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/19/us/19gays.html?_r=2&hp (via the-danimal)
gee, THANKS, census bureau!

I think they mean they don’t count the number of gay people who are not...
Why does tumblr delete all my notes? NOT THAT I CARE. I do this for MYSELF. But it’s weird. Tumblr is trying to get me to need no outside validation, and sure that’s a deep life lesson I can learn. But still, it’s annoying.

I don’t remember the general population liking cats that much when I was growing up. I think people were fine with cats, but they didn’t really love them the way they do now. That’s kind of weird.
Obviously now my favorite video of all time.
My interview questions for Ryan Gosling in the event I should ever interview Ryan Gosling:
1. Is it hot in here?
2. I feel like you and Rachel McAdams should get back together. I don’t see how you can argue with that. Have you seen The Notebtook?
3. Seriously, have you seen The Notebook? It was really, really good. You should call her up. I know she’s dating that older guy,...
