Errol Morris Gets Paid 

You know he made the Ellen Fleiss commercials. Now Quaker Oatmeal. What I want to know is, what's it like to be on the set, I mean, in the interretron? Say you're sitting there talking about pecan-flavored oatmeal for three hours. Do you get really worked up about it? Does it reaffirm your mission in life as a pecan farmer? It's like the five-minutes game taken to a new level.

The five-minutes game is where you get to say or do whatever you want for five minutes and everyone is required to give you their attention. I miss doing the 5-minutes with Cary and AB et al. It sounds goofy, but once people get over the pressure and get used to it it's good. We did it the other day at a party but that's mostly drunken rambling. I may have some more sober scrabble parties and 5-minutes soup nights at the new place. That'd be nice. Yeah.

I'm packing today.
