Jennifer Lawrence looks beautiful.  She said she was wearing about 9 inch heels, no wonder she needs help to walk

LOL....I didn't hear her say that.  OMG.

She was standing next to Kristin Chenoweth and was at least a food taller, it was funny

I cracked up when Kristin said, "I really look up to you!"

[bk]

Why on earth is Kristin Chenoweth doing this???

[TCB]

When will Les Miz be released?

Straight to video.

Just listened to   The Baja Marimbas   again.

You know, when I was growing up with Oscar and even all the way through the 1970s, it was never this self-serving and obnoxious - with these Google tributes to movies and red carpets and people drooling all over themselves.

[bk]

Kristin shouldn't be doing this - really.  Bad, bad career advice, IMO.

DR Jane, I wonder if you spoke to someone at your library if you could find out about which books would be available to you as ebooks. It seems crazy that you have to wait until they show up in your system. I think they must have some idea which ebooks they are going to get.

The way my library works is that it doesn't take very long from the time a title is selected to being ordered to showing up on our website.  As soon as they show up, they're available to download.  You really can't find out what's going to be ordered/available, until it shows up...and it's not necessary because it's so quick.  Also, anyone can request an e-book/downloadable movie/downloadable CD.  I would hope that you can, too.

How do they do that, by phone or online?  Are these books only for your library?

It's on-line...our website is www.trl.org and there's a link to OverDrive, the download service to which we subscribe.  Anyone can search, but only Timberland patrons can download item.  Anyway, the titles show up within an hour or so after I place the order for the titles that the selectors select.

Paging page nine.

[bk]

Will we never get to page fifty?

[Sam]

Since I do not own a tv.

I'm off to a friends and hopefully the kids will not hog their tv.

And I can watch some of the Oscars.

 

[Ginny]

Think I'll get my knitting...

[Sam]

Night everyone.

Mega vibes for the partay.

 

[bk]

Our highest posting day ever was an Oscar partay here - we had, on that gloriously wacko evening, 2,062 posts.  Our second highest posting day had nothing to do with anything - we just all went nuts one day.  Our third highest posting day was also an Oscar broadcast - over 1700 posts.

[Cillaliz]

That was the first food for movie name night, I think

[bk]

Charlize Theron - not my favorite look.

[TCB]

Wow!  Charlize Theron looks incredible.

[bk]

Now they have kids who represent the future presenting the presenters?  What the HELL has happened here - this is a sad joke.

[bk]

Like a stupid reality show.

[Laura]

Few shows today honor three-act show structure anymore - and they should.  The first act break in Peter Pan is after I'm Flying and in my opinion, it needs it.  The original reason, however, was to get Peter and kids out of the harnesses and to make the set change into Neverland.  For the two-act version, they do some completely unnecessary dancing and time-killing stuff "in one" while the set is changed.  It just adds time and is a bore.

I love the way Peter Pan is done now. I just love it.

[bk]

Forty-five minutes to show time.  I can't keep watching the red carpet - it's too irritating.  Kristin is irritating.

Thanks.  It was interesting to see your local website which is very different from mine.  With my Nook HD I also download from OverDrive.  I didn't see where to request a book, maybe I need to be a member to see it.

The Oscar Experience College Search - I rest my case.  They've turned it into The Amazing Race.

[bk]

I hope this is not a portent of the show to come.

[bk]

I hope our other partay guests arrive soon.

[Jane]

Wow!  Charlize Theron looks incredible.

I don't care for the short, short hair but otherwise I agree with you.

[bk]

Hairdresser Teddy, who is completely addicted to Facebook, has proclaimed Charlize Theron's hair the winner of the evening.

She was standing next to Kristin Chenoweth and was at least a food taller, it was funny

And Kristan is also wearing heels.

[Laura]

Wae-Ling and I watched the Cathy Rigby video of Peter Pan again. I was going to give it to her, but it gives her something to do while her dad sends her over until he gets back. So I think I'll keep it here for her to watch on the computer.

No, it's just on the regular library website.  Go to www.trl.org, hover over "Research," click on "Ask a Librarian," then there's a link to "Purchase Request."  From there, you can see all the options for the requests.
