Oscar Season.

Chilly. Gray. Blooming. Friday and Saturday look like the days you want. Hang on until then. It'll be worth it. It will, it will. Until Friday and Saturday: Coffee, with whatever you need in the bottom of it. Dogs. Hats. Those things don't go in the bottom of coffee, but you know where we're headed with this. Don't you? Maybe you don't. Wear the clothes you want to wear, and keep your shit together. For fuck's sake do not watch this new Robert Downey Jr./Jaime Foxx movie about blind cello playing. That thing can only be uplifting.

Sorry, kiddies, for all the potty-mouthing. Sometimes when mommies and daddies see the cello movie preview one too many times, and when spring's been holding out on us, we lose our tempers a wee wee bit.

April is the cruelest month.
