THE ANNUAL OSCAR BASH

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were electrifying, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they'll be attending the Oscar bash, but only as lurkers.

I tell you, the air is filled with electricity.  That's good, otherwise we wouldn't be able to watch Ye Olde Oscars.

NOw that you have described it, I remember seeing THE SLENDER THREAD when I was going through a Sidney Poitier obsession a few years back. I had forgotten the title to the film, but I do remember liking...though not as much as some of his other films.

I'm exercising my fingers - for I'll be doing plenty of typing during the Oscarcast and it's very hard to keep up unless your fingers are nimble.

Well, I have watched and transferred to DVD so many WB detective shows tonight and I am now very sleepy...I must say Ruta Lee (who shows up in these old WB shows a LOT) is a swell actress!!

I've got another ten minutes in me before I have to toddle off to the bedroom environment.

I'm here, but no one else is...oh, well.  Last night, I went to see "Music & Lyrics" and "Amazing Grace."  I thought the M&L was very cute...slight, but cute.  AG was quite good.  Ioan Gruffudd (pronounced YO-an GRIFF-ith, according to IMDb.com) is always nice to look at, even when he aged in the film. ;) I had no idea what the film was about.  I thought that it was about the writing of the song "Amazing Grace," but it's not.  It's about the end of slavery in England.  "The idealist William Wilberforce [played by Ioan] maneuvers his way through Parliament in 18th century England, endeavoring to end slavery in the empire."

I remember in the 1980s, there was a presidential candidate named John Anderson...I'm pretty sure that was his name.  Anyway, I very distinctly remember that his wife's name was Kiki.  Yes, Kiki.  I just couldn't imagine a first lady named Kiki. ;)

I work with his daughter Beverly occasionally. She's a tv producer and is really nice. She goes by her married name, so it was a few jobs before I found out who her father was.

I went to Jr. high with a girl name Scooter Honeycutt. How's that for a first lady name? Can you imagine anyone in politics named "Scooter"?

Well, I guess maybe I can...

My junior high school Latin teacher was Kiki Demetrion, and I adored her.  I suspect Kiki was a Greek diminutive, but I could be wrong.  The stage name that drives me crazy is French actress Miou-Miou, although I thought S.Z. "Cuddles" Sakall was a peculiar stage name as well.

Good morning, all!  I plan to spend another personal day away from family and friends.  I don't think I'll be watching the Oscars since I saw only one of the nominated movies, THE QUEEN, and I have work to do.  I'll stop by for an occasional peek at the posts.

RE: friday's GHOST WHISPERER which i know a few people here watch.

SPOILERS.



While i loved last week's show, this week's show did not make sense to me. I still liked a lot of it. But there was just a part of it that i did not get.

I think when you're doing a show like this, you have to be careful.  I know watching it I have to accept certain things.  But just because i am willing to accept that melinda can see dead people and communicate with the dead doesn't mean that i will accept anything.

I just really did not get how everybody could see that (those) dead guy(s).    That really did not make sense to me. And it hindered my enjoyment. I'm wondering if others felt the same way.

"Scooter" sounds like a great name for a Congressional page.

Okay i finally got my nickname go through on oscars.com.

I was already registered (from voting for Dancing with the stars). But for some reason my nickname would not go through. Finally i just clicked on the rules (wondering if it was not letting me through because of where i lived). And when i clicked on this my nickname appeared as good.

Weird!

So now i'm making my choices.

And off I go, to earn our daily bread.

And newspaper.

And butter.  I forgot butter when we went to the store last night.

And I think we're out of OxyClean.

And we're going to need a veg and a starch for tonight's dinner.

Edisaurus, yes, I did see the goats and the chicken. DR Sandra and I were exclaiming over them. Very cute, and very nice photos.

Good morning!

It's a gray day here, and it's been dripping rain all morning. I don't mind rain like this. I hate those deluges that always make me think my roof is going to sag under the onslaught of so much water at one time.

For me, the funniest part of PARIS WHEN IT SIZZLES is that Audrey Hepburn's perfume gets a screen credit.

Otherwise, it's one of her worst films, but I put it on every year or so just to make sure it's still as awful and unfunny as I remember it.

Looking forward to the Oscar bash tonight, but I won't be taking any pictures of myself. It's a bum day for me which means I probably won't shave or shower, and I'm not about to soil the internet with a pic of me looking like a homeless person.
