WTH.

I had just turned on the Oscar telecast.....and they were announcing Best Song I guess...a man and a woman got up there and started jaw-jacking and then the woman started singing the song....

And I fell asleep....and I woke up at 2 a.m.

I guess I was more tired than I thought!

I missed the HHW par-tay.

I'd like to chime in with something very positive about Adrien Brody. I worked for the firm which did a lot of Adrien Brody's tax work for about four years in the mid-2010s, and while this might not sound like a big deal in general, to a tax person it's key, and speaks to his being a very considerate person: The material he sent in was among the most useful and helpful and considerate I'd seen in all my time of doing tax work.

Have I stayed too long at the fair?

First, Morgan Freeman came out and gave a special tribute to Gene Hackman. Then he left, and they went through everyone at a decent pace (not too rushed), AND the music was none other than the Mozart Requiem, sung live BEHIND the main display (you could see the choral group extending to the sides), and it ended by coming back around to Hackman. It was the most beautiful and respectful thing I’ve seen on TV. Like, ever.

Is that fairly accurate? Please don’t tell me I dreamed it.

I completely missed the opening of the show - a Wicked thing with Erivo and Grande? - which people are saying was truly good. Anyone here? I dunno, will try to find it online.

I liked it fine. Except for Ariana's opening "Somewhere o [big breath] ver the rainbow...."

But did you feel it rivaled Aretha Franklin's much-discussed long breath between the syllables of "country" at Inauguration Day 2009

Wow. That just irks me no end.

Freddie · « **Reply #43 on:** March 03, 2025, 06:11:45 AM »

Looking back, more seriously, Inauguration Day 2009 was a day full of hope, wasn't it?

How did we get here from there?

The Great Procrastinator strikes again. I'm still feeling queasy, so I am postponing laundry to tomorrow.

No one teaches this current crop of pop singers two important things to remember:
1. Where and when to take a breath and never between syllables unliss it's clearly intentional
2. The meaning of what you sing is more often more important than your vocalizing

I'm not saying Ms Ariana is guilty of both of these charges, but too many pop singer are.

Was the anemic bash a reflection of movies today or the fact we’re all getting old!

I don’t like that George resetting his breakers didn’t help fix the issue. But G, look around the house for all your GFCI outlets. The ones with little trip switches on them, often in bathroom and kitchen. One of those may be on the circuit, could have tripped and needs to be reset at the outlet. Worth checking all those.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #57 on:** March 03, 2025, 07:35:08 AM »

The hardwired alarm plus computer and whatever else might be too much for that circuit.
