You know that toy we knew and loved when we were little-- Polly Pocket? They still make Polly Pocket, but she has a cute ponytail now instead of her blond Annie 'fro.
Anyway, this is a list of people I'd like pocket-sized versions of because I love them so much.
Jason Schwartzman-- preferably as King Louis XVI
Bale-- preferably without a shirt
Hal Sparks
Michael Ian Black
Ellen DeGeneres
BJ Novak
Owen Wilson
Joaquin Phoenix
Cpt. Jack Sparrow
John Brooke-- of Little Women fame
Eric Stoltz
Freddie Highmore
Mindy Kaling/Kelly Kapoor
Stacy and Clinton-- complete with visa cards with my name on them
Dick Van Dyke circa 1964
Joan Cusack
Robert Carmine
On second thought, take Robert Carmine and BJ Novak off that list. I'd like them regular-sized, please.

Ken Burns Fangirling
This morning BYU was privileged to hear from one Ken Burns at our university forum. Burns is an renown, award-winning documentary film director of such series as The Civil War; Baseball; and Jazz, as well as smaller films on Mark Twain, the Brooklyn Bridge, Thomas Jefferson, and Lewis and Clark.
Here's where I shine my true nerd-tastic colors.
His address was so absolutely phenomenal. I wish there was a Ken Burns School of Writing and Public Speaking (emphasis on the writing part). He mostly discussed his newest venture, The War, which is a 14.5 hour, 7-part series about World War II-- but he tied it in with his other films and with current situations, ways of thinking, and misconceptions about war in general and the unity (or lack thereof) as an American people.
And THEN he showed us the introduction to the new series that doesn't premiere until September. I was so happy. They actually didn't broadcast this particular forum for copyrighting purposes. I'm so absolutely intrigued to watch it when it comes out. He concluded with a trailer of sorts, featuring clips from the film scored by the "theme song," a positively lovely song called American Anthem recorded by Norah Jones. It was so moving and...it makes me all sorts of excited.
