Did you all know that the Smurfs are 50 years old? I would’ve never guessed that. I LOVED the Smurfs as a kid. It was my favorite Saturday morning cartoon. I have distinct memories of laying on the couch watching the Smurfs. The memories are so distinct, that if I closed my eyes, I could almost transport myself to those moments. Ah, memories. I bet if I tried to watch the Smurfs now, they would drive me crazy, but who knows. Maybe I will test that theory when the Smurfs3-D movie comes out next year.
So the Oscars are this weekend, and as most of you readers know, I love me some Oscars. This year, however, I am not really into the nominees. But I will tell you who I think I will win and who I want to win. Because I know everyone is chomping at the bit to know.
Best Picture: I think No Country for Old Men will win and it should. It rocked and it is a Coen Brother movie. And with the exception of that movie about killing the old black lady, and the one with George Clooney (barf) and Catherine Zeta Jones, the Coen Brothers can do no wrong. Come on, The Big Lebowski? Fargo? Raising Arizona? So awesome.
Best Actor: I think Daniel Day Lewis is supposed to win. I haven’t seen his movie (There Will Be Blood), so I don’t know if he deserves it. As long as George Clooney doesn’t win, I am a happy camper. I would like Viggo Mortinsen to win. 1. Because he’s Aragorn from Lord of the Rings. 2. Because he has the same birthday as me. 3. Because I liked Eastern Promises. And 4. Because he shows his penis in Eastern Promises. I respect any many who lets it all hang out.
Best Actress: This tough. I think Julie Christie is going to win for playing an old lady with Alzheimers who goes into a home, forgets about her husband and falls in love with someone else. It was a sad movie, but a good sad movie. I also saw the movie about French singer Edith Piaf and the woman who played her looks completely different. It was also a sad movie. And I liked Juno. I don’t know who I want.
Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem will and should win for No Country for Old Men. Not just because I liked that movie, but also because he was totally psycho in it. Like, the kind of psycho that jumps off the screen and makes your skin crawl.
Best Supporting Actress: I have no real choices of who I want to win, so let me tell you who I don’t want to win. I don’t want Cate Blanchet to win. I am tired of the Cate Blanchet bandwagon. I am jumping off. Actually, I was never really on it; I mean, I think she’s a good actress, but she was never my favorite. And I don’t want Rudy Dee to win. I don’t think old people should get awards just because they are old. Call me an ageist or whatever, but I don’t think because someone is closer to death than someone else means they gave a
better performance.
Anyway, there you go. My Oscar analysis.

Yay for Oscars. I always love your reviews.
;o)
So, did Kate steal Claire's baby? Or was Claire the one in the coffin? When Kate said Aaron's name, I got goose bumps hard core. F*CKED UP!
Where to begin with your Lost questions?
I don't know if Kate actually stole Aaron, but I don't think Claire was in the coffin. If I remember correctly, it was a man in the coffin.
I do think something awful happened to Claire. SOmething Jack is either responsible for or thinks he is responsible for. I was shocked when Kate said Aaron. I think I literally said, "What the fuck?" out loud.
Here are my questions: Is Aaron one of the Oceanic Six? And who are the two that "drowned?" Why did they have such a crazy story concocted? Why does Miles want exactly $3.2 million?
In some crappy news, I wiped out walking in the parking lot at work (because our company apparently doesn't believe in plowing), totally feel on my knee cap, had to go to the Dr. I am ok, just pulled some muscles and have some swelling and I think my boss is kind of annoyed. But WTF? Plow the fucking parking lot, or don't make me go to the back to do half of my job!!!!
Here's my 2 cents on Lost and bad employers.
1. Kate saved Aaron. Claire is alive. She didn't want to leave the island, but Aaron had to go. I don't know why yet - prob a blackmail thing in some way.
I wasn't shocked. Once I saw the blond hair, I yelled "aaron" and sure, enuf. I should write for LOST. I believe Aaron counts as one, so we know them all. Kate, Jack, Hurley, Aaron, Sayid, and Ben...but wait, Ben wasn't on the manifest. Hmmm. There's one more.
The story is concocted bc of some kind of blackmail/saving friends idea of Ben's., I think
Your boss is a wad. He's responsible and you are hurt-proof that he's a bad boss. He's just projecting.
You COULD be applying for merit pay that may not amount to monetary pay...and if it does, it could be a bonus OR it could be added into the salary, but PLEASE fill out this 9 page form thoroughly.
ugh
Damn Murph, you are good. I never would've guessed Aaron. But here's another question about the Claire thing: didn't the psychic tell her she had to raise the baby or something bad was going to happen? That just adds more mystery to the thing, as if Lost needs any more mystery. But I am sucked in. I need Lost like I might someday need a new kneecap.
Your application sounds weird. Things that are complicated that shouldn't be are annoying.
Think of how much we have to learn about Lost. And then it is going to end and we are going to be sooo sad.
I am fine. I don't really have any more pain, my knee is stiff like it needs to pop and my hip has been cracking a lot. My body sounds even older than it normally does.
As for right now, I am totally chilling, watching my beloved Oscar red carpet. Life is good.
