Sometimes I think my life is high school on steroids. But in a good way.

Are you by any chance referring to the Oscars last night, and Doogie Howser appearing on stage in his skivvies/y-fronts? Gah.
I don't usually watch that stuff, but I liked a couple of the films and thought it'd be nice to see pretty ladies in pretty dresses, so I gave it a shot. Doogie in his panties put me right off.
Hooray for Eddie Redmayne, though.
It was pointed out to me that the Mr. Underpants was an allusion to "Birdman"; still, what may work on film in the context of a story just didn't work for me in this setting.
And by the way, get off my lawn.

I guess it is in that they haven't grown up. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Does anyone actually pay attention to that silliness?

If what you do goes "viral" on the net, you can feel relevant for a short while. That's important, I understand.
You know - ME, ME! Look! It's ME. Aint it great?

In Hollywood and in West Hollywood, it's the equivalent of the Super Bowl to the rest of the country--with the exception of some sections of Rhode Island.

Glad I missed whatever it was.
(I am not that clueless, I deliberately avoid anything to do with Hollywood)

Glad I was watching Grantchester instead. James Norton got out of bed in his skivvies - fine by me!

Not me. It's taxable. The stuff isn't worth the taxes I would have to pay on it.
