Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

I'm on a furlough day. Wheee. It would be more whee if I weren't wrangling my two adorable children all day. The little one demanded we bake cookies for breakfast. So far I am prevailing.

Perkins, I am giving you the fish eye.

Although, we did get out of the house on time today and without incident so I guess it is a good Monday so far. I have 3 unhappy vendors to return calls to and a pile of papers from Friday to go through and I am uninterested in either. On second cup of coffee.

Sandra made me cry last night. I never cry watching award shows. Tom Hanks cut to the quick Best Picture announcement annoyed. Even more than if it were done the normal way and they had to slog through all 10 nominees.

I flipped over to Amazing Race in the middle of the show and it sounds like the only thing I missed was the John Hughes tribute. I'm sure it is on youtube.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Perkins, I am giving you the fish eye.

Is that better or worse than the stink eye?

I've been horribly backslidey all last week and especially this weekend on both diet and the no-buy, so I decided to just suck it up, declare it a new week, and start again.

Wheeeeeeeee!!!!!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

My (predictable) reaction: Whoo, the director of Near Dark won an Oscar! Yeah!

Me too! In fact, I had to edit my thing for work today to include her Oscar in the Near Dark section! Yay her!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I am not really looking forward to this week, although there are at least two good things about it:

1) I may have the Project That Never Ends off my plate by Friday.
2) When this week ends, I head to NEW ORLEANS! With Nora! And my sister! And many other awesome people!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Salon's review of last night's Oscars:

As crazy as it sounds, this year's Oscar festivities were dynamic, funny and moved along at a good clip. Hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were hilarious, there were great jokes by everyone from Tina Fey to Ben Stiller, and the speeches were less long and dull than they've been in years. For once, no one rambled on forever and agents were rarely thanked. Not only that, but the usual endless tributes that serve no purpose whatsoever were gone, cut down to a great John Hughes segment and an entertaining horror-movie montage.

That does sound crazy. Perhaps she watched a different show.

It's a shame that crack has taken such a toll on entertainment writers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

there were great jokes by everyone from Tina Fey

Well, that part I agree with.
