- 21:15 We just signed up for Netflix! First DVD? Eureka Season 1!!! #
- 22:06 Yet another thing I never thought I'd say: Why are there nine ninjas on my counter? #
- 22:10 twitpic.com/1266iy - Nine ninjas on my countertop. #
- 14:59 I'm about to be interviewed by the Statesman about the change in weight requirements for the Blood Center! More to come. #
- 16:39 Interview for the Statesman went well, I think. It'll be in the print edition tomorrow. This started it: tinyurl.com/donorwt #
- 21:34 Great game! Buddy was all about the Saints and was SO into the game. That was awesome! (I like Manning, but had to go with Buddy's pick.) #
- 16:40 Don't the Facebook people realize that if it ain't broke, you don't fix it? Obviously not. Sigh. Getting used to the newEST FB changes. #
- 20:07 Buddy: Evan told me the "n" word. Me: (here we go) What is it? B: All the bad words in the world. Me: What is the word? B: "Nuture". Me:??? #
- 20:23 Watched "Cloudy W/A Chance of Meatballs" with Buddy and Hubby. A fun little movie! Now Hubs and I will rent Inglourious Basterds. ;-) #
- 22:33 No Basterds tonight. We decided to catch up on old Parks and Rec and Community. Good choice! #
- 14:16 @justgina Sometimes we don't even understand them! :-) #
- 14:18 Going to a SB party and chili cookoff. I'm bringing Spicy Mole Oatmeal Chili. I'm going to win! tinyurl.com/oatmealchili #
- 19:21 Buddy while watching The Who: Wow. They're pretty old. (But he's rocking out to the old guys!) #
- 22:56 Had a great time at the dance. Such beautiful little princesses! Now . . . off to bed. #
- 16:33 @jryancaruthers I like it! #
- 22:03 Looks like I'll get to bed tonight before 10:30. That's insane. What am I thinking? #
- 11:07 @rainnwilson Fist pump!!! #
- 11:08 So THAT'S what seven hours of sleep feels like! Wow! It IS beneficial! #
- 18:08 About to go take candid pictures at a Daddy Daughter Dance. I can't wait! It's so uplifting! #
- 21:14 Me: I can weigh your pinewood car, I have a scale. Buddy: Of course you do. You're a mom you have everything. (pause) Except a machine gun. #
- 09:59 Thinking about starting a Twitter account called "Stuff My Son Says" in the vein of "Sh*t My Dad Says". I could get lots of followers! #
- 10:19 @justgina Because we have the same children! #
- 12:21 @emily_l_f Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Buy it even if you already have a copy. Then you'll have one to give away. #
- 12:42 Buddy discovered the joke: "Spell i-cup." Now he walks around saying I - C - U - P and thinking that it is hysterical. I love my life. #
- 21:45 @rainnwilson That was awesome! But the best line: The EPA has reported that it has LOST the endangered species list. #
- 07:08 Gotta turn this day around. Didn't sleep well, not prepared for Bible Study, it's cold and rainy. Grrr. #
- 13:18 Cure for what ails you: studying Colossians then coming home and listening to Erasure. Ahhhh. The day's looking up!!!! #
- 16:38 NOT good timing: turning on the TV just as Large Marge says, "Like THIS!" and makes the face. Buddy's now scared of Pee Wee. Drat! #
- 16:48 SHHHH! I'M TRYING TO USE THE PHONE!!!!! ;-) #
- 21:46 Oscar nominations come out tomorrow! And I don't think I've seen any of the movies people are buzzing about. Sigh. #
- 22:12 "It's My Life" on Pandora just took me back to Starrz . . . 1988/89. Holy cow, the memories - good and bad and very vivid. Wow. #
- 08:49 "District 9" nominated for Best Picture and Best Screenplay!!!! I loved that movie! And kudos for Bigelow! Girl power!!!!! #
- 13:57 Checked out "Jersey Shore" to see what the fuss was about. Oh my. Didn't get past 10 minutes. Their parents must be so proud. Sigh. #
- 17:14 @RachelFineMusic I got to hold one once, too! Those things are HUGE! And beautiful! I think the one I held was for writing. I want one! #
I love the Oscars. I just do. I make no apologies. I was a film major. I started out life as a theatre major. The Oscars have always been the equivalent to the Superbowl in my life. I love the politics, the glamor, the competition (real and perceived). I just love the whole thing.
So you will excuse me if I give a huge SQUEEEEEEE for District 9!!! It's nominated for two of the major categories: Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. I'm so excited!!! Had it been up to me, I think I would have nominated Sharlto Copley for Best Actor. I only say "think" because I haven't seen any of the films of the best actor nominees. The cause of my absence from a movie theatre is the subject of another post - possibly a rant. I will not follow that rabbit trail now. Just suffice it to say that I DID see District 9 and I absolutely loved it.
I am disappointed that (500) Days of Summer was ignored completely. It was another one of the few movies I saw this year. Luckily it was also a good one. (My movie dollars are precious and I become very bitter if they are wasted.)
I hope to see some of the nominees soon. We're about to take the plunge and become members of Netflix. So I can queue up all of the nominees and start cramming for the final exam - Oscar night 2010!!!!
Oh, and a bonus - my dad's going to be in town for the Oscars! That will be fun!
To all of my regular movie going friends out there - what are your predictions? What were you delighted to see nominated and annoyed to see ignored? What should be #1 movie in my queue? (Yes, Avatar is still #1 on the go-to-see-in-the-theatre list. Does anyone want to volunteer to 1. Nuke our schedule to make a big hole in it and 2. Come baby-sit for free? Anyone? Anyone?)
Yay to District 9!!!!

- 22:15 I need to turn my brain off. Some might argue that it's been off for a while. (But don't. It's not nice.) #
- 07:16 Forgot to record the Grammy's. Bummer. But we can't watch live with the kids. It's too "dangerous". Sad. #
- 14:06 I love catching up with old friends! But I refuse to believe the "old" part. Let's just say "seasoned". ;-) #
- 21:18 @RachelFineMusic Oh! Cute overload! I can smell the sweet puppy smell and feel the velvety ears!!! Soooooo cute!!!! #
- 21:19 Just watched "Facing the Giants". That is a great movie! And it held Buddy's interest the whole time-even through the "talking" parts. #
- 13:28 So when did my laid back day 'o rest get jam packed with "gotta do it now" stuff?!?! #
- 19:46 @lesmcgehee That's just scary. And wrong. #
- 11:46 I'm Spartacus. All morning. Every halftime. Today is a Spartacus day. #
- 14:36 @RachelFineMusic Pictures. I demand pictures. How stinkin' cute!!!! #
- 21:53 @djnst DEFINITELY a hit! Asher was WAY tired so he whined through the first round, but then he got into it! Thank you for all that you do! #
- 09:43 @somethingfishie I totally agree - my Mr. is coming home tonight! #
- 14:06 @ActuallyNPH I just watched my DVRed AI from Dallas. You just rock. My esteem for you continues to go up. You know your stuff and your nice! #
- 14:09 Gotten a lot done today! So why is the pile of dishes TALLER? #
- 14:22 This is possibly my favorite TV ad ever. EVER! youtu.be/hsvAj6qfmFQ #
- 14:54 Just changed my twitter background, check it out! Found it at www.TwitterBackgrounds.com #
- 17:28 #followfriday @oxfordaustin Check it out! #
- 12:11 Every child tests the "if you feel sick, tell the teacher and she'll call me to come get you" theory. Today was Buddy's day. Back tomorrow! #
- 13:57 What part of "turn the lights off" is unclear? And is there really a need to give a reason other than "you are not in the room anymore"? #
- 17:27 I got a coupon for a free drink from Starbucks today! And there was much rejoicing. #
- 19:44 I am not cut out for Boy Scout meetings. #
- 12:48 Started a new Bible study this morning and I LOVE my small group. Such a great first day!!!! Thanks, ladies!!! #
- 15:50 Just heard from Buddy's playdate: REAL mummies from Egypt are NOT covered in toilet paper. (pause) Trust me. #
- 19:54 has just decided that Spartacus is going to figure prominently in one of my halftime talks this Saturday. #
- 16:23 Planning on going Feb 20th - who's with me? Hurry! $20 Painting Class at Painting with a Twist ($45 Value) - bit.ly/a7uPFn #
- 20:48 @ezack60 YAY!!! Congrats! Which one? #
- 20:48 Long day. LOOOOONNNNNGGGG day. I'm wiped out. I hear some ice cream calling my name . . . . #
- 06:55 Looking forward to a really great day. Looked up some wonderful scripture last night that was like a balm on a burn. God's got my back! #
- 07:06 Yet another thing I never thought I'd need to say: Buddy, you need to be getting dressed, not walking around with a cereal box on your foot. #
- 13:15 @RachelFineMusic That dress is smokin'!!!!!! You look great and I'm sure you sounded fabulous!!! #
- 18:37 Calm, laid back day today. Nice and recharged for home school tomorrow! #
- 19:24 We crossed an important milestone today: Buddy learned how to make fart noises with his armpit. And there was much rejoicing. #
- 21:18 Tooth Fairy was pretty good! The kids loved it and Hubby and I enjoyed ourselves. I really <3 Julie Andrews!!! #
