The snow has already turned to rain.

Good afternoon.

As I have done in the past several years or so I DVR the show and FF through most of it and stopped at the awards that interested me. I think I got through the show in 90 minutes.

Have to admit that I was surprised that Glenn Close did not win as all the predictors said she was a lock.

As for the Best Film, many said it would be ROMA but I never thought they would win because they wouldn't want to give it two Best Picture awards.

As for me one of my plays has moved forward into semi-finals competition for a theater in CA. Can't say more until mid-March.

Another 10-minute play is in talks to adapt to a short film as a thesis project.

Continuing to work on my play that has an Academy Award plot point.

The Marvin Hamlisch show has confirmed bookings in 2020.

Working at my salary job to live and writing during other free are keeping me busy.

Yes DR GINNY - my trash can kept wanting to walk off the deck....I had to bring it back from the steps three times.....

I do want to see Blackkklansman, If Beale Street Could Talk, and The Favourite now....

I want to see all three of those, also!

Favorite: Spike’s win. (I liked his purple suit, JRand. It was a nice tribute to Prince, whose music is used as the closing of Blackkklansman.”)

I guess the biggest surprise was Glenn Close not winning....

The only thing I didn't like was Spike Lee's completely unorganized thoughts that he couldn't even read off a piece of paper.....and his suit was ugly.

I'd read that his suit was supposed to be a tribute to Prince.

TOD:

Worst: The stories already calling Green Book the new Forrest Gump or Crash, among the worst best pictures in history. That includes Spike Lee’s response.

The worst part 2:

The president’s irrational response to Spike Lee’s surprisingly restrained speech.

Went to the library book cellar today. Picked up a Zola novel, a Ross Macdonald, a Seamus Heaney play and a disc of Sting acting as Schmann, all for $2.

Ah I feel much better about Spike's suit now.....I see!!! Thanks to DR JOHN G and DR GEORGE.....

I'm up, I'm up - about eight and a half hours of sleep, but only an hour until our rehearsal begins.

At the theater next door, the Symphony Pops is doing Alan Silvestri’s score for Back to the Future. Someone drove up with his DeLorean. We all went over to check out the car.

I went to the large supermarket on Columbus Ave now that the one near me has closed. Thanks to traffic and the damned taxi increase, it cost me $10 to get home. I guess in future I will shop there only at 8:00am on Sunday mornings.

I do not know what Alexa was thinking when she added "Sustainer has always enjoyed" to my Costco shopping list.

DR Laura you need to post more so I can look at your avatar.

Too long ago, I put my paper cutter in a safe place where the cats could not injure themselves. Now that I need it I cannot find the damned thing.

When the movie originally played in theaters, the Lacey (Washington) cinemas had the record for the movie playing the longest at any one theater, a whole year! If I remember correctly, the DeLorean that was used in the movie was brought here to celebrate.

My friend sent his grocery list in to Kroger for delivery. He asked for 1 lb. of carrots.....and he was sent a carrot that weighed 1 lb.
