This has NOTHING to do with Cinderellas...or groceries for that matter

but...the Oscars last Sunday night had Ben Stiller and Natalie Portman presenting an award for cinematography and apparently Ben was impersonating Joaquin Phoenix in a bizarre David Letterman interview. And I had NO idea what it was all about. I had seen some random photos of Joaquin with a beard, but you know - Hollywood is all nuts anyway, so I didn't even think twice about it. So - I investigated a little bit to see why on earth this would be so hilarious to everyone and why he would even be doing it. Clint and I really enjoy Joaquin Phoenix as an actor - Walk the Line is one of our favorite movies and he was outstanding in it. Well - I screwed up the allergy testing I was supposed to have today because I forgot that I wasn't supposed to take my allegra for like 15 days before the testing, (yeah- don't get me started) and since I wasn't supposed to be to work till noon, I had some unexpected hours to fill - and, of course, rather than doing laundry, I decided to browse through you tube...and I found the whole interview.



IT IS STINKIN' HILARIOUS! Oh. My. WORD. I laughed till I cried. It's almost 11 minutes long and worth every second. I love David Letterman - I totally appreciate his humor and I felt so bad for him! I hope this link lives forever cuz it's hysterical. What is up with Mr. Phoenix??? I really must investigate if this was real or some sort of stunt. In hind sigh, - I'm sure it's entirely possible that Mr. Joaquin was high or drunk or heavily medicated, but come on...don't do an interview if you're out of it! So I chose to bypass sympathy and head straight for hilarity - as we Gilson's tend to do. I cracked up the entire 11 minutes.

Then I looked at my pile of laundry and was immediately depressed again. Sigh.
