When asked what makes her angry, actress Joy Lauren says: "These are funny questions... Judgmental people and global warming."

Olesya Rulin responds to my question: "I hate pride that gets in the way, prejudice, wars that are going on right now that shouldn't be, glaciers melting in Alaska..."

"Disrespect gets me a little bit upset."

"I'm into environmental causes. I went to the EMAs (Environmental Media Association Awards). I was so excited. Definitely try to take away our consumption of oil from the Middle East... Altternative fuel is a big thing for me right now. Animal cruelty. Women's rights."

Luke: "How do you spend your spare time?"

Olesya: "I read a lot. I watch a lot of Sex and the City reruns."

Luke: "How has Sex and the City affected you?"

Olesya giggles. "I love her [Sarah Jessica Parker's character] sense of style."

"I reread Joseph Conrad's 'The Heart of Darkness.' It's my favorite book... It's wonderful to read a novel and get inspired and see the harshness of cruelty of life and at the same time see how beautiful it is."

I ask comic Rebecca Corry, "What do you love and hate about your life right now?"

Rebecca: "The love part is tough. It's mainly hate. My kitchen ceiling leaks when it rains."

"I have an unbelievable dog in my life. His name's Walter."

Gloria Allred: "I'm here tonight in support of improving the image of women in the media. In addition, I'm the co-executive producer of a movie nominated for best television movie, ['A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story.'] I represented the mother of the transgendered teen who was murdered."

"Because of the issue of9/11, there's been a restriction of civil rights in the name of security. It also took off the agenda for a while the issue of equal protection for women and minorities under the law."

"I work seven days a week."

The awards show is a disaster. The lead presenter, Tracee Ellis Ross, leaves halfway through.

Here's a good solid report on lasik surgery:

If you are considering LASIK eye surgery, your first step is to choose a good surgeon. [Read our article on how to choose a LASIK surgeon for advice on this subject.]

In order to decide whether you're a good candidate for LASIK, your eye doctor will examine your eyes to determine their health, what kind of vision correction you need, and how much laser ablation is required. [See also: What To Expect From an Eye Exam]

Your doctor will also look for signs of dry eye disease, which must be treated and cleared up before LASIK can be performed.

Also, a corneal topographer is usually used; this device photographs your eye and creates a kind of "map" of your cornea. With new wavefront technology associated with custom LASIK, you also are likely to undergo a wavefront analysis that sends light waves through the eye to provide an even more precise map of aberrations affecting your vision. [See also: Wavefront in Eye Exams]

Finally, the doctor will find out from you any health problems you have or medications you take. Some health conditions will disqualify you altogether for LASIK, but others may just postpone the procedure until a later date. [For more information on disqualifiers for LASIK, please read LASIK Criteria for Success. Or, for a custom report on whether you are a good candidate for LASIK, please take our two-minute screening test.]

LASIK is an ambulatory procedure; you walk into the surgery center, have the procedure and walk out again. In fact, the actual surgery usually takes less than five minutes, and you're awake the whole time. Occasionally, the doctor will give a mild oral sedative beforehand. Even though the procedure is relatively quick, this does not minimize the importance of having it performed by a highly skilled surgeon with proper equipment because LASIK is a very delicate procedure. You also should have someone accompany you to drive you back home afterward.

Most people don't feel pain during LASIK surgery. Your eyes are first anesthetized with special drops.

The doctor will have you lie down, then make sure your eye is positioned directly under the laser. (One eye is operated on at a time.) A kind of retainer is placed over your eye to keep your eyelids open — normally, this is not uncomfortable. It has a suction ring that keeps your eye pressurized, which is important in LASIK for allowing the surgeon to cut the corneal flap.

The surgeon will use an ink marker to mark the cornea before the flap is created. The flap is then created with either a microkeratome or with a laser, depending on the surgeon's preference. [Read more about the IntraLase laser that is used for this purpose.] During the procedure you won't actually see the creation of the flap, which is very thin.
