Wow, can you spell sporadic

I am tres whore-re-blay at keeping up to date with this thing.

Going into SC meeting..could get dicey. Doesn't bear thought now. (bare thought? that doesn't look right)

I watched DVD of the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy original TV series. FUN FUN FUN. Douglas Adams...truly a god. I love his writing, and now I have to track down my copy of Last Chance to See and reread it. Very funny, yet touches on so many important issues.

Started, and well finished, the knit parts of a bunny with the knifty knitter. Just have to 'sew' it together. I think I understand the sewing directions...I just have to track down a 'tapestry needle'. Did the knitting during the Oscar coverage, then I started and did about 2/3 s of a slipper. They're going to be LOVELY!

Oscar coverage. WOW, can you say both SUCKED and BLEW? The 4:30-5:00 Canadian produced CTV show, with Ben Mulrooney was so bad it was funny. He was shouting, from behind a pack of more important reporters, trying to get the attention of Jada Pinkett. At one point he actually turned to the camera, embarassed, and said "It's kinda a pecking order here, and when you're not at the top of it...". Basically admitted to the, well 5 of us watching, what a big fat nothing he is. HAHAHAHA

But then, from 5-6 the 'official' red carpet crew came on....and made Ben look like a 60 minutes anchor. Holy crap, they were awful. They would interview theses stars, and start off with these HUGE background questions, which basically answered themselves before they were done, and then shove the mic at the star who was usually left with a "well, yes" or "actually no" type answer. When they were talking to George Clooney they actually referenced his work on The Facts of Life! To which he responded with this absolutely gorgeous, but total WHAT THE F#*$( smirk when he answered. Love him LOVE HIM!

They asked Heath "What question haven't you been asked, and what have you been asked to death". So on one hand, they were wanting Heath to do their work for them, on the other they were asking him to bitch about past interviews. I mean c'mon.

Jennifer Aniston was asked about who she used to amire when she watched the show as a child. WHO CARES! The red carpet is NOT the time to do daring, probing, cutting edge journalism. We want to know: who are they wearing, how many ga-zillion dollars worth of jewelry have they borrowed, and where are they partying later. SHEESH. Then they kept showing clips from movies that have won in the past, almost like "yes, we know the public didn't care/watch/download this year's winners, but you've liked our stuff in the past, please dont' turn your sets off!!!" It was so bad it was good. I wish I'd had someone with me trading insults with the telly...I wuz on fire.

Anyhoo: Jon Stewart, funny. Lauren Bacall either drunk or past-it. George Clooney....sigh... ok I'm back. Dolly Parton, you go girl, Reese Witherspoon, I wish I could hate you you pretty-talented-humble-nice person you.

Oh yes, and a personal thank you to Brangelina and Tom and Katy for being knocked up and out of the picture, I'm SO sick of the sight of you all.
