I can't talk about programming or I'll start crying. Go to hell, hangman game.
In the school paper yesterday there was an article about UCLA's efforts to develop a new logo. They paid a design firm $98,000 and do you know what it looks like? UCLA. I swear, it's a plain blue font, slightly italicized. The guy in the paper said if you paid him $50, he could have spent a half hour playing with Helvetica and come up with the same thing. You can see it at the school's
site. In other news, fees are going up ten percent next year.
A few weeks ago, Rachel and I were discussing how nice it must be to be Natalie Portman. She gets to be pretty, rich, famous, allegedly intelligent, inexplicably worshipped by males everywhere, and date cute boys. According to the new issue of Elle, Natalie Portman is a superior human being. You think you're on the same level as her? You're not. She's flawless. Perfection, if you will. Director Mike Nichols says she's a horse that has outraced its genetic background. She may be the smartest person in the world. And what does this genetically superior freak of nature have to say about her craft?
"As an actor your job is, like, empathy."
Shut up, Elle.
