Another highlight of my trip was watching the Oscars with Gen, which is something we haven't done in many, many years. There was a lot to do before the ceremonies started, so we turned on the pre-show show while Larry gave Miles a bath, Gen called the pizza place to order the pizza, and I sprawled out on the couch and thought about how someone should refill my wine glass. So much to do.
And while we were all busy with our activities, Annette Bening and Warren Beatty walked onto the red carpet to have their interview. "Oh, I love her!" Gen and I said almost simultaneously. We had both seen The Kids Are All Right, and she was so good in it, and here she was all dressed up and looking fabulous (but Gen didn't like her dress). And there was Warren Beatty looking... old.
The interviewer immediately turned to Annette to ask her a few inane questions, and the cameraman tried to close in tightly on her radiant, gorgeous face, but Warren Beatty was standing so close to her that half of his face was still in the shot. And I found myself looking at him instead of her, because he had a strange look on his face, like he was thinking about something important or trying to figure out the answer to a very complicated question.
Gen had been on the phone with the pizza guy during this, and just at the moment that I was contemplating his curious expression, she looked up at the TV and said, "Ah, and there's Warren Beatty crapping his pants."
YES! That's exactly what he looked like he was doing! Brilliant! You can imagine that I fell into hysterics for about 10 minutes before the show started and then had periodic fits of giggles throughout the rest of the show whenever I let my mind wander back to Warren Beatty.
Okay, so watch the footage and pay attention to seconds 45-55. You'll see the genius of Gen's observation.

I felt sorry for him because he seemed kind of befuddled. I think her hair is too dark now(an aside).
Ohhhhhh... great! Gen and I are laughing our butts off at the guy and now it's going to turn out that he has Alzheimer's. And we're a couple of jerks. Fine.
But what do you think about her hair??
I thought her hair was okay. It is pretty dark, but I like it.
He does kind look like he's pinching a loaf. It could be that he's doing an Elijah Wood impersonation from The Lord of the Rings. I swear, every time the ring begins to overwhelm Frodo it looks like he's going to crap a stone.
I had no idea the ring was such a powerful laxative!
I'm not certain he was *actually* crapping his pants. To me, he looks like he's trying to decide .... should I? Maybe not. Maybe I really should. Later? How about now? ...
