Last night Scott and I hosted a Tony Award Viewing Party (Tony Award Winners). We fit about 15 people (his classmates and 2 of my choir buddies) in our 500 sqft apartment to watch our 20 inch TV. Despite the crowding, it was enjoyable. And Spring Awakening was the big winner which I was quite happy about. Especially John Gallagher Jr.'s win for best featured actor. He's pretty fricking cute. I think I have a thing for punk rockers (e.g. Prom 2002...another story entirely). Other fabulous wins included Christine Ebersole in Grey Gardens. For those of you who haven't seen the documentary, see it! And then see the play. Make sure to watch the director's commentary first though, because it will make it more enjoyable. By the way, best line ever (imagine this in a THICK Long Island accent):
Edith 'Little Edie' Bouvier Beale: But you see in dealing with me, the relatives didn't know that they were dealing with a staunch character and I tell you if there's anything worse than dealing with a staunch woman... S-T-A-U-N-C-H. There's nothing worse, I'm telling you. They don't weaken, no matter what.
Oh classic.
Now some questions and comments re: The Paris Hilton/Jail debacle.
#1: Did the Hilton family pay off Sheriff Baca to allow Paris to leave prison for "medical reasons"?
#2: When the hell do we get to find out what the medical condition was? Thus far, I have heard reports of a rash, panic attacks and clausterphobia. If people are going to make such an ordeal about this situation, why can't they at least give us all the necessary details to make judgements? It's like when that damn lady on the bus the other night wouldn't give me details about the fight bloody-eye-man got into. What are you good for?? Don't tease me with such things.
#3: If Paris was really having psychological difficulty with her situation, which I believe really is the case, I truely sympathize with her. Not that she doesn't deserve what she's getting because the law should not be bent for famous people with money. But knowing from various sources and personal experience the sensations and thought process that goes along with panic attacks/anxiety/phobias, those things are more painful and unbearable than people could imagine. I think people who are lucky enough not to be plagued with those things could really undermine what Paris is feeling. NOT that she should have been let out of prison for those reasons. Thats just plain favoratism/special treatment by the Sheriff's department (I don't like this Baca guy). And really, why didn't they bring her to the medical ward sooner if she was really "deteriorating"? Why wasn't she forced to take her medication which she was supposed to take? That's just plain irresponsible. Sheriff Baca is on my loser list after this incident.
