Me: Does my skin not look right?
Joe Reich: I don't know, man, it looks right to me, and I do this everyday. It didn't look right before. You looked like a leper.

You Can Count on Me.
Whoever can tell me what the name of the classical (oh god, I may be selling myself out here? baroque? romantic) music from “You Can Count on Me” wins my interminable love. I think it’s Mozart. Extra points if you send me the mp3.

I’ve discovered that for the most part, Ben Brantley and I are on different pages. He liked The Seagull. I thought it was kind of dumpish-like. So maybe I’ll love Uncle Vanya.

Me: Guys, Listen to this from Politico: "Japans Finance Minister resigns after repeatedly appearing drunk at the G7 Conference in Rome."
Zander: Yeah, those asians, they smell some whiskey and they're wasted.
Me: Zander, what're you talking about? Viv So can drink you under the table.

Me: Zander, Viv grew up in Hong Kong.
Zander: Well she doesn't count.
Me: Yeah, all Asians can't take their alcohol. And every Jew is money grubbing.
Zander: Mate, I only hate the one's with the twizzly bits in their hair.

Obama
I don’t like people using this “Yes we did” anachronism. Obama is inspiring. Obama is hope. And there’s much to be done. We have to see what we can do with this victory. Yes we can!
