Required 78th Annual Academy Award Post

Yep, I watched 'em. Yep, I'm sure that someone, anyone else will have better, more insightful, in-depth commentary about it. The good news: I got to go across the street to my friend Janelle's house and join in our annual Oscar watching party this evening. This is great news for three reasons:
(she's the gorgeous blonde on the far left, by the way)
1) I got to go to her house instead of watching with just S. and Fynn, neither of whom give a rats' behind about who Won What Award Now
2) Her house: clean, not under construction. Mine: Not
3) Friends who brought drinks and appetizers. yeah!
3b) Jon Stewart: My 'date' for the evening*, also: hilarious, adorable, and dark-hair/light eyes (my favorite combo EV-VER!)
*everyone at the party got to pick a 'date'. I love the Daily Show (and have a small crush on the Colbert Report) so, so SO! much!

My observations, post-grapefruit margarita:

1. What the HELL was that THING on Charlize Therons' shoulder?
2. I love, love, LOVED how demure (read: no visible va-jay-jays, I'm looking at YOU, Zhang Zihi!) the dresses were, by and large
3. Hard to Be a PIMP!?!! Come on, naw! Simma dawn! Simma dawn-naw!

More importantly (ok, to me)

Up a Creek is a funny, funny movie.
My cat has 'bad manners" - and I am pretty much OK with that.
I just invented a new margarita (new to me, any rate)

The Grapefruit - Garita:

I squeeze (squoze? juiced?) four grapefruits first.
-Tequila
-Ice
-Triple Sec
-Lime juice and margarita mixer

Mix equal parts of each of these in a glass. Stir. Enjoy.
Jon Stewart stirrer optional.

didn't see the oscars, alas. tho jon stewart is indeed a choice fellow to MC the awards, I was at the in-laws and then went to see matt pond pa. i did see the outfits tho, and it really makes me sad that such a georgeous hottie like charlize theron - who NEVER looks bad - chose such a strange dress. hideous, no, but just strangely...sculptural.
