Worst week ever, even disregarding the head cold. Just one thing today, so let's see if that'll cheer me up, eh? It's a pic of Morgan "Super-size Me" Spurlock (without whom I would never have guessed that it isn't bright to eat only McDonald's for a month) with Charlie Kaufman at the Golden Globes:

The pic comes from Morgan's blog. Thanks to Jamie for that.

One day to go until the Night of the Potato, known to the less hip as Oscar night. Igor from Brazil tells me that he and his buddies will be drinking beer and eating fried potatoes while they watch the show. I say that's a damn fine idea. You all should get yourselves some french fries, potato chips, potato salad, SOMETHING potato-related, and park yourselves on the couch for the eight-hour back-slapping extravaganza.

From all of us BCKsters and fans everywhere, a hearty GOOD LUCK, CHARLIE.
