Leap Day

After a walk along Green Lake, I cleaned my room... while Zach watched the Oscars on my lickable flat-screen TV.

I've seen many movies in my TV-laden 23 years, but I just wasn't inspired to see many this year. Thus, I wasn't really ga-ga or up-in-arms about any nominees. Except...

Oh, Bill Murray. I've seen you through...

Ghostbusters...

Caddyshack...

And so much more. Saturday Night Live and Tootsie through Wild Things and now Lost in Translation. You rock. You so rock. And I was proposing a tie between you and the delectable Johnny Depp.

And I lost. *sigh*

But Mr. Murray, you should've won.

From Ghostbusters (Venkman=Murray):

On their first ghost bust...
Dr. Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Venkman: Why?
Spengler: It would be bad.
Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean "bad"?
Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr. Raymond Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Venkman: That's bad. Okay. Alright, important safety tip, thanks Egon.

Interviewing Alice, an aged librarian, about her paranormal experience...
Venkman: Alice, I'm going to ask you a couple of standard questions, okay? Have you or any of your family been diagnosed schizophrenic? Mentally incompetant?
Alice: My uncle thought he was Saint Jerome.
Venkman: I'd call that a big yes. Uh, are you habitually using drugs? Stimulants? Alcohol?
Alice: No.
Venkman: No, no. Just asking. Are you, Alice, menstruating right now?
Library Administrator: What's has that got to do with it?
Venkman: Back off, man. I'm a scientist.

Yes, back off, man. I'm a scientist!
