Thursday night
ali_wildgoose and I went to see Persepolis, and all I can really say is, see it as soon as humanly possible because it is awesome, and gorgeous, and touching, and real.
In the lobby of the Angelica movie theater they were playing Nights in White Satin, a song I really cannot stand, and I explained to Ali "that's Nights with an N, not a K" and as
sistermagpie said last night at dinner, "All that about sheets?" Meg, as I promised,
Robyn Hitchcock on Syd Barrett.
I came home to lovely, lovely Friday night TV: Best Week Ever and The Soup. BWE gave their award to Ricky from PR and then proceeded to make fun of his hats and his crying, though Sherrard Smith pointed out that everyone cries these days: "Hillary cried because some Negro is trying to take her job."
Joel, last night on The Soup, his lovely final words:Heath Ledger passed away this week and in all the years we've been doing this show we've never had cause to mention him. So stop digging through the dirt, weasles. A talented, decent guy is gone and our thoughts go out to those who knew him.
The nice thing is that E!News hasn't been dirt digging; they've been going the heartstrings route, lots of "the face of a little girl who will never know her father" kind of stuff, and Ryan and Giuliana being glum. What a turn around for a channel that Clooney was boycotting not too many years ago.
