happy birthday to bob hope on this, his 100th big day ... i think everyone has to have a special place in their hearts for mr. hope. personally, my first and best thought of mr. hope is always "the seven little foyts" - good ol' fashioned musical goodness that includes one of my favorite dance sequences ever - a tabletop dance with eddie foyt (mr. hope) and george cohan (james cagney) that just brings delight whenever i even think about it. he's had an amazing life, a fantastic career and is just an all-around hollywood and american institution. congratulations to him on reaching such a milestone!

i am utterly, utterly exhausted today ... just want to curl up and sleep!!! yet somehow i don't think that would be the best of ideas ... wonder why. hmm.

but nonetheless. i was able to see the final "dawson's creek" last night, which brought back all sorts of memories of college and otherwise growing up, not to mention general amusement by a number of different aspects of the episode. from the manner in which the show poked fun at itself to the way some of the characters' storylines were explained to the fact that they justified audrey's lack of presence with the fact that she was in europe working as a backup singer for john mayer (what's worse - that mayer is in "dawson's creek" pop culture or that they are saying he'll have backup singers in ten years???), i was thoroughly amused.

now i just have to see the final "felicity" - my other big college wb show - at least during my freshman year.

ok, MUST WAKE UP.
