"i'm proud to be a little out of touch"

i love george clooney.

the oscars. yes, i've gone review mad. anyway the oscars were great. fuck the naysayers: jon stewart leibowitz was great. i'm glad that george clooney won although for the contest i entered i picked matt dillon and i stand by it because while clooney did a good job i though dillon did a better one. i was not surprised with any of the other awards EXCEPT three-six mafia winning for 'it's hard out here for a pimp'. fuck yeah! i liked all three songs but i admit - i bought into the stereotype and didn't think they'd give an oscar to a rap song. thankfully, i was wrong. the truth is, as was said on npr also, that if you took that song out of the movie - the movie would lose something. the other songs/movies - not so much. so good. and, of course, that prompted my favorite jon stewart quote of the night, "for those of you keeping track at home: number of oscars for martin scorsese, zero...three-six mafia, one." it was a great show and i didn't even mind the inane lily tomlin/meryl streep tribute to robert altman intro. speech. the fashion was very boring. everyone looked the same, well except for michelle williams, selma hayek and helena bonham carter, it was all pale dresses or black dresses. yawn. and someone get maggie gyllenhall a back brace. she's gonna be stooped over completely by the time she's 45.

otherwise, sunday was good. i met up with the girlies for some fabric/yarn shopping at mill end. great place. then i ran an ass load of errands. then i had m over for oscar watching. i made a "breakfast for dinner" dinner. we had challah french toast, hash browns and turkey bacon. yum. i had a scone we could've split for dessert but that didn't happen. yay us. then i just read and did some snail mail letters. it was actually quite peaceful.

the bummer of the weekend was missing out on the March Fourth concert saturday night. it was f'ing sold out! i was truly bummed. i was all set to dance- especially after the pre-concert dance party we had at m's place. so we sulked and then i suggested bowling that was very lukewarmly accepted. we get to the interstate lanes place and cosmic bowling didn't start until 10pm and it was 9.15p. so....we sat around there, ostensibly, waiting until 10 to play. but you know how things happen and eventually d&g headed home and i went to m's and watched the last two episodes of the last season of 'sex and the city'. whatever.
