Before Baseball Starts Again

I’ve missed most of the movies that were nominated for tonight’s academy awards. We don’t have a TV. I got a sudden hankering to watch them, though, and persuaded the Spirit Sisters to let me come over with a pot of soup and watched the taped-on-Tivo version so we could skip the commercials.

Oscars are general silliness and sometimes that works. After the somewhat traumatic experience of taking Charlie in for his rabies shot this morning, it fit the bill for me. Numenius stayed home and did his Spanish homework; his prediction that Russell Crow wouldn’t win anything this year proved to be astonishingly correct.

  1. Ah yes, but Aussie Cate Blanchett did. (We count Russell as an Aussie even though he was born in New Zealand ).

  2. We loved having you join us, Pica! Isn’t it amazing that our favorite acceptance speech (Drexler singing her award-winning song) was his thumbing-his-nose at the powers that be who wouldn’t allow him to sing the song on the show because he’s supposedly not famous enough!
