Ur doin it wrong.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is pretty much how it went.

Who knew a song about hating everyone could be so catchy?

(P.S. If you like this, listen to “I Know Him By Heart” by, Vonda Shepard.)

You’d think with so many people involved, there’d be more movement going on here. I’m just saying.

I’m sitting here, trying to find the words to explain just how devastated I am that Estelle Getty has passed away. Frankly, when I heard the news, I felt like I’d been punched in the stomach. No, I didn’t know her, and we’d never met. But for the last 10 or so years, she’s been a part of my daily life as her character, Sophia Petrillo on The Golden Girls.

From the moment I first saw her walk out onto the set and cut Bea Arthur down to size with her razor sharp wit, all along the way with every joke she leveled at the other three intensely gifted comedic actresses she shared the show with, to the final good-bye I’m writing at this moment, she was the pushy Italian grandmother I never had.

Dearest Estelle, you will be missed.

My pick for feel good movie of the year.
