Celebrity Super Bowl

As many of you know, I am an awards show junkie. Tomorrow is the creme de la creme of award shows...the Academy Awards aka the Oscars. I love watching the Oscars. I love it when there are surprises, but then I get mad when people I hate (i.e. George Clooney) wins. 

This year there is a small snag though. I haven't really seen any of the movies and well, I just don't care who wins or loses. 

But I do love me some Hugh Jackman, who is hosting, and it's would feel weird to know the show is on, but not watch it.  I think it'll still be good.

I'll twitter as the festivities go on, in case you need any updates.

Facebook

I love Facebook. I really do. 

But sometimes I get requests from people that I went to high school with and I have no recollection of them. Sometimes I think they got married and have a new last name and if I saw a picture I would remember them. Nope, that is not always the case. I literally can't remember them. But I friend them anyway out of guilt.

And recently someone I know on Facebook used their status update as a place to help their children sell cookies or whatever. I thought, "Wow, I can't even come to Facebook without dealing with that." Our online spaces are giving our face-to-face spaces a run for their money.

Glad It's Thursday, Will Like Tomorrow Better

I am tired and a little hungover. I don't know why, I didn't drink that much last night. Maybe it's dealing with students. I kicked one of them out today for texting. The policy is in my syllabus.

Uh ... students.

So, Lost is on fire this season. Not one bad episode. I love the heartwarming reunion between Jin and Sawyer last night. I ALWAYS love it when Ben freaks out. It makes me so happy. I was surprised to see Charlotte die so quickly. I wasn't sad though. She managed to squeak out some good information in her final moments. But there goes my theory on Faraday being her father. I guess my new theory is that Ben is her father. But really, now that she's dead, does it really matter?

Who I really want to learn about is Miles. I think he is the guy from Dharma Iniative's videos son. Sometimes I think I am grasping at straws when I think about Lost. But I can't stop. What am I going to do when the show is over?

Everyone's been having crazy weather this week. Murph ... did you see a tornado? Laura and PTT... did you have some warm weather? We had really cold weather, for here anyway. And the windy season has started. I can't ride my bike when it is really windy. Someone I know saw a girl get literally blown off her bike the other day. I don't want that to be me. I am older now and my body doesn't heal like it used to.

Hence my hangover today.

Blah.

My Apologies

For being a sucky blogger at the moment. I am crazy busy right now. But I thought I would share a few things about what's going on...

I am totally digging Lost this season. It has been awesome. I knew Jin wasn't dead, but it never occurred to me that, of course, we would see Danielle again.

Speaking of Lost, I am in the process of writing my paper for Pop Culture conference. It feels as though it is going slow.

Speaking of writing papers, I also have to revise my qualifying portfolio.

Last night I had flipping awesome green chile cheeseburger.

Later today I am going to eat a chicken fajita burrito.

I loved the movie Man on Wire. It is a documentary about the guy who walked a tightrope between the twin towers. I can't say enough about it. You can watch it on Netflix. It is available to watch instantly.

And I don't understand why people on Post Secret want to hate on New Mexico. They should just leave. We all hate them anyway.

Ciao Bellas and Bellos!
