and the Oscar goes to...

Well after a weekend marathon of watching Oscar contender movies, thank god Jacko and I went to see Dreamgirls and The Queen at the theater, because we were busy all weekend with documentaries and such.. and to tell you the truth, having seen so many movies it makes it tough to decide who should be best actor or actress and picture.
Here is my take on who and what will be winners.

Best Picture: Definitely a toss up between The Departed and The Queen. Helen Mirren is amazing as Madge... I forgot it was Helen up there on the big screen. But then The Departed, taking place in my hometown of Boston, was a wowzer, didn't see that coming kinda movie..

Best Director: Martin Scorcese definitely for The Departed.. this is one of his best!

Best Actor: Haven't seen it, but looking at the list of contenders, Forest Whitaker as Idi Amin has to be the winner... this man can sing too!

Best Actress: Helen Mirren, hands down... made me look more favorably on her Madge and what was going on in that septagenarian royal squash when Diana died... now I sort of understand.. but I still think Prince Phillip is a total arse and a half..

Best Supporting Actor: Definitely Eddie Murphy for Dreamgirls. One of his finest roles.

Best Supporting Actress: Jennifer Hudson...omg, she blew me away with her performance and I remember when she got voted off American Idol, I said..what the fuck? So I want her to win to show those who voted her off.. that they were wrong.

Best Documetary: An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore.. everyone in the world should watch this film.. its scary.

Best Song: I need to wake up by Melissa Ethridge, the song for An Inconvenient Truth.

The rest of the nominations are not as compelling.. ahh the KFC is here... the sun is down and time to prepare for the 79th Annual Oscars ( Please don''t think Americans are totally frivolous with this sort of thing.. we're just as concerned about Bushy and cromies waging war on Iran and Syria.. *sigh* tonight we just want to forget reality for a bit...

anger is like fire

Some people need to chill
Their anger is contagious
It spreads like wildfire
And there is no way to stop
the conflagration.

Harry Potter

Its Friday nite, and I have had no ambition all day except to make the winter go fast, the days shine longer, and move to sunny Florida. Tonite we're watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Daniel Radcliffe is a junior hottie.. I want to go to London to see him do Equus au naturale.. meanwhile, I have to work the weekend...

snow..snow..and more snow

This morning as daylight nudges the darkness of night, I view a scene from winter. The weathermen are all excited, I wonder if they find a blizzard more exciting than an orgasm... meanwhile, sick people don't take care of themselves and I have to trudge through the snow to make it to work.

Happy Valentines Day ;-)

Maine suxs

Its been days since I blogged. I have been uninspired and stressed out. I have been trying to write essays to submit to grad school so that they can see what a total whatever they decide I am...

So I started my new job today working for the feds. Ambivalence reigns supreme.. I hate Maine... we're expecting about 16 inches of snow on Wednesday.... ok.. enough maybe I'll find new inspiration as this week progresses. Did I say I hate living in Maine?

Post Florida

Well I've been home in Maine for over 24 hours now.. the first hours back here were unsettling. The first thing I noticed was how dirty the snow on the highway was..and how dark the highway and roadways seem to be. I guess I was finding fault with everything with being here.

Today, wow..I slept alot. I tried studying for my GRE's tomorrow without much success. Already figure I'll take them again. Talked with friends today, gave some thought to our move to Florida, how we need a game plan. Temperature today..the high of 14... this sucks. Oh, this is looking from my front window thats not sand...its snow.. snow suxs

this is Florida?

ok, I've been in Florida for three days, and for most of the time, I have been sick as a freakin dog. I've managed to walk to the Medical College campus, went by the botanical garden and thats about it.. trying to get healthy for tomorrow, my big day with the grad school people.

Meanwhile, never mind my health, but its like 50 degrees here. Cloudy..dismal... I haven't seen much.. this sucks for the most part...will gather my thoughts when I have some and get back to you...

Urgh... I hate mornings, well I hate mornings that I only get four hours sleep. The incessant chatter of news people on the television are just a bit too perky for me.. leaving within the hour. I'm hearing that its rainy in Tamp today through the weekend.. at least it will be quasi warm... why am I whining.. "smack" just slapped myself... there got it together... see y'all next week..

One last thing....

Moonlight shines bright tonight

Well I have finished packing, getting all my papers together and sent off all the emails I intended. Heading to Florida tomorrow to check out grad school, Tampa, and visit family. I'm sure I'll come home with a few things to blog about. My last night at work was uneventful as far as anyone saying.. goodbye and good luck... typically up here in Maine, people are soooo uptight to show emotions or feelings.. ah well.. just have to wait... but the moon is beautiful tonight, there is a snow right around its fullness.. and I find it tranquilizing... see you all in a week.
