DR JANE - this site might help you:

The Wikipedia site says mostly the same thing, but mentions a couple of other interim babies, known only as Hogg and Murray.

If NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN wins Best Picture tonight, I'll watch that Blu-ray disc of it tomorrow.

I gotta tell you.

And I'm expecting the Blu-ray disc of ENCHANTED this week from Disney. Since I didn't see it at the theater, I'm really looking forward to watching it.

Today looks great in Blu-Ray. Very real looking, almost 3-D and the colors really pop, even though it's gray.

At least the awards will be in high definition this year. I have to say that finally the networks are starting to broadcast these shows in HD. The Tonys are now the lone holdout in HD broadcasting. Maybe this year will be different.

Hmmm.... not a film I'm familiar with.

I shall now be on my way to the Chance Theatre. Don't forget excellent vibes and xylophones for the drive home. I shall attempt to post during the day.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up.... And it's sunny outside. That's always nice on a Sunday morning.

Driving home vibes for BK!

I need to do some computer tinkering to get ready for our Oscar marathon this evening. Then, I'll start thinking about fixing some lunch and later doing laundry.

Hmm... "Too Many Connections"... Not a good omen for the Annual Oscar Bash.

Vibes for the driving home of MR BK on this most glorious of awards days.

I am watching CIRCUS WORLD which we saw on the Cinerama Screen, I think....it was BIG.

But I am hoping when it is finally released on DVD officially we will get CC so that I know what the Claudia Cardinale is saying.

I have just finished installing a simple little home network so I can use DSL downstairs or upstairs. The remote connection is a tad slow, of course, but it should work fine for Oscar night!

Off to start on lunch now.

Sadly, I will be at rehearsal today from about 3:30 until 6:30 pm. I'm sure I'll get home by 6:45. However, if the cast goes out to a restaurant next to the theater where we rehearse, I may go with them. They did last night, but I went to my sister's house for a while. We'll see if it actually happens. Otherwise, I WILL be here as soon as possible after I get home.

So, you will join us after the fat lady sings.

Good morning!

Oscar day here has started off overcast. It got up to 65 yesterday, but isn't supposed to leave the 50s today. Then back for more spring-type weather the next couple of days.

Our temperature is struggling in the low 40s, but it is sunny and clear - rather pleasant if you're not waiting for a bus.

PREDICTING THE OSCARS

An interesting read - no surprises in the predictions, but thoughtful analysis supporting the selection (not a
My Favorites list).

I may skip the Oscars this year as I did not manage to see much, if any, of those up for awards...I had meant to, but few of the films really interested me...of course it might be that I missed out on some really good stuff...who knows.

Wow----I was just watching Meet The Press and Ralph Nader announced that he was going to run for president!

This should be very interesting!

Well, that's good news for a partisan Republican, but bad news for our political system. Nadar can only pull votes from the Democrat; the Democrat will be inclined to lean more to left, removing pressure from the Republican to lean to the middle. Most data suggest that the electorate is fairly evenly split, so a third entrant pulling a mere 0.5 % could be decisive.

Nadar pulled 2.7 percent of the national vote as the Green Party candidate in 2000, his percentage dropped to just 0.3 percent as an independent in 2004, when he appeared on the ballot in only 34 states.

And, as we found out in both 2000 and 2004, very few votes in one or two states can swing the election.

Sadly, Nadar offers no fresh insights or innovative proposals; he has no credential for leadership - his presence will only serve to act as a spoiler.

This morning I will begin another Bollywood movie...this time it is the 1975 version of NAGIN...the 1954 version was very subtle in it's fantastical snake story...I suspect this 70s version will be much less subtle! LOL! In fact I understand that it's camp factor is hard to beat.

And if you are truly brave, you can watch a cat fight scene from NAGIN between the Snake Woman (in the purple pantsuit) and a lovely lass .....and see her turn into a snake, as well! Oy!

Good morning. It is a bright, sunny day here is my 'hood. Coolish, though.

I did my usual Sunday chores and errands, and now have a few hours free to go through my closet and select my attire for the evening's festivities. Black and white? A Jeanne evening fave. I have a lovely print cummerbund, but mine's silk, not cucumber. Maybe I can even rustle up my white fox stole. Careful decisions, all. I wouldn't want to clash with DR Singdaw. Of course, after seeing Singdaw, no one will even notice me!
