I was going to post this yesterday, but, anyhow, did you guys get to read this feature on Cory Kennedy? It's a riot.

Oh, and I have a story in the Santa Monica Mirror right now. It's not a riot, but please read it regardless.

Yesterday, I was going to write my annual I Hate the Oscars post, particularly in light of the nearly-two hours I spent on the road traveling ass backwards to drop off a press kit at Ivan's place. I told him it would have taken me less time to ride the Orange Line to the Red Line and then walk to his place. He said, no, Hollywood and Highland has been closed for two weeks because of Oscar and, on Saturday night, all the stops between Universal and Vine (I think that's three or four stops) were closed. What, are they afraid someone is going to steal the Harry Winston diamonds that no actress actually bought?

Simply put, I just really hate it when the city decides to close down the streets and subway stops funded with our tax money for the fucking Academy Awards.
