I am Half-Assed, and so is this Post

Some of you were good enough to remember Mike's and my anniversary, only Mike is still away so we're celebrating it later, probably by playing WW?. I almost went to bed without blogging tonight, but I was kept awake by certain injuries sustained during cycling class (hint: Jimmy's old roommate was named after the injured region) so I'm giving you my post-mortem of the Golden Globes. Bear in mind that I missed whatever happened after 10:30 that night because the old biddy in me lost out to the old fart and I went to sleep (no cycling yesterday).

Best Moments (for schadenfreude) in no particular order:

1. Star Jones Reynolds pointed out that William H. Macy and his wife Felicity Huffman were both nominated, referring to them as double nominees. "Better a double nominee than a double amputee, I always say," Macy bantered.
2. Clive Owen picked his nose while accepting his Golden Globe.
3. Not to be outdone, Ian McShane kept up the British reputation for hygiene by picking his nose while accepting his Golden Globe. Paging Dr. Mormonstein.
4. Geoffrey Rush thanked his hair and makeup people, presumably for making him look like Peter Sellers, only his current hair was so awful that the audience thought he was joking and laughed.
5. Clint Eastwood accepting: "I'd like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press for all the work you do, especially that tsunami thing--that was great."

Some of you will have noticed that most of those links are missing. That is because I am tired. Perhaps I will address this problem at work tomorrow. Thank you.
