Post by: Druxy on January 13, 2018, 04:51:44 AM: T.O.D.

Since I don't go to movie theaters any longer, I don't see the major Oscar contenders until they are released onto DVD. However, from what I surmise, Gary Oldman and Frances McDormand seem to be the front-runners for the Best Actor & Actress awards.

I enjoyed DUNKIRK. Also, THE BIG SICK, though I doubt if either will wind up taking home the Best Picture Oscar.

Before I go, I have much to accomplish since this may be my last day for six weeks to use an elevator to reach the basement. I need to take a lot of trash to the basement and to scrub down the litter box.

Post by: elmore3003 on January 13, 2018, 04:54:06 AM: I see so few movies that I have no interest any more in the Academy Awards, or any awards shows for that matter. I'm most interested in the Tonys because it may be my only chance to see a number from a show and many of my friends are up for awards.

Post by: elmore3003 on January 13, 2018, 04:57:48 AM: The cats are unusually quiet this morning after breakfast; Annabelle's usually looking for birds and Thatch running wildly about the apartment playing The Flash. They didn't even eat all their food.

This can only bode trouble. They are planning something.

Annabelle escaped the apartment while I was entering with the litter boxes. When I realized she was missing, it terrified me. It took me two searches of the building to find her. She was on the fifth floor rubbing her head against all the walls and marking her territory.

Have you lined the litter box with plastic? The best type is a bag you put the entire box in, then the box does not need washing as often. You might considering using the bags while the elevator is out.

Like DR ELMORE and DR DRUXY I have not seen ANY films at the theatre this year. The thought of that even five years ago would seem impossible.

I do know what I read here about folks who see movies....and screeners.....but I do not have any idea who I would like to see win. I am also OVER the politicization of AWARDS shows - yes they certainly are welcome to their opinions, but I don't need to be lectured about my own....

Get a blog!

So I am not sure I will even watch this year....we shall see. I didn't watch the GG and I'm still here.

This has to be the worst winter ever and it's only January 13th. It was frigid last week, but still somehow snowing all the time. Then it got warm for two days. Now it is snowing like crazy. And it's supposed to get super cold again. I can't recall ever seeing so much snow and so many days of freezing cold temps. :(

How cold has it been getting?

Right now it's not that bad. It's -18C/0F. But with the windchill it is much colder. And it is supposed to be -28C tomorrow. But last week it was -38C with the windchill. It was so windy. It was horrible. The worst part is how much it snowed overnight. There was around 36 cm/15 inches of snow this morning with more coming down. :(

What kind of demands?

That they need to talk. I don't want to sound like I'm whining, but I need more time before I have the energy to deal with them.

Then hang up.
