Congrats to Will Ferrell - latest recipient of the James Joyce award. Now, honestly, you have to read the article - check out the OUTFIT he wore to accept the award. I'm howling!! And his comments on Joyce ("As I perused my leatherbound volumes of 'Ulysses,' 'Finnegans Wake,' 'Dubliners,' 'Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,' standing in my mahogany library, a lot of feelings ran across my mind. Like: 'Damn, I should have read these books.' ") have already made my day and it's not even 8 a.m. yet.

I have to admit, I had to have a road-to-Damascus on Will Ferrell. I didn't care for him on SNL, but when I saw Zoolander, I realized why people thought he was funny. It's because he is funny, and I really enjoy his work now.
Come to think of it, I went through the same process with Johnny Depp. Didn't like 21 Jump Street, but I saw Cry-Baby and said, "Hey, guy's got game."
Perhaps I'm an anti-TVite. ;-)

We said the exact same thing!!!
