Can't.Turn it. Off....

OK so it's 12:22 AM and I'm still up watching red carpet coverage...Ryan Seacrest is so painfully awkward at times, it's almost mesmerizing. The best part so far was when he was interviewing Al Gore about "An Inconvenient Truth" and environmental issues whilst the camera was zero-ing in on Jessica Biel's arse. Boo, E!, boo! And yet I'm still watching.

1 AM is late, y'all.

The question is, am I enough of an Oscar junkie to stay up to watch the awards? I mean, the fact is I haven't seen "Babel" or "Letters from Iwo Jima" and I thought the end of "The Departed" was poop. On the other hand, I love Ellen and am still haunted by the Dench/ Blanchett performances in "Notes on a Scandal" plus I'm still holding out hope that Jackie Ealre Haley will snag a win for his disturbingly fantastic performance in "Little Children."

It's a toughie...then again, maybe that's why I'm so thankful to be born in the age of TiVo, or whatever they call it here.

A few words of advice

If you type "mojitos and port" (with the quotes) into Google, no pages will come up. There is a reason for this: I'm pretty sure--no matter how delicious these things are--that these beverages were ever meant to be consumed together.

I would just like to say

that I hope the Paris Hilton boycott effort is successful. Very successful. Since I rarely stay at a Hilton and I never wear FILA and I'd never ever ever see a Paris Hilton movie even if you threatened to rip out all my arm hairs one by one...there's not much I can do by way of activiely participating in this boycott. But I wish eveyone involved all the best because she is a SBBW.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Happy 32nd Anniversary, Mom and Dad!

I just read that the gift for the 32nd wedding anniversary should be a "gift of conveyance, i.e. an automobile." But considering some of the cars my family has had over the years, a list that includes a powder blue Ford Pinto, a purple Volvo station wagon and a tan-colored boat like vehicle that cost us $50 (£25)...I'd opt for another present. :) Plus, my parents have been known to try to patch a car radiator with bubble gum....:D

Mom and Dad, I love you both. And if you are reading this, shame on you...you should be celebrating!

Report back...

1. Finally seeing "Notes on a Scandal" -- eh, didn't happen.
2. Haircut at Taylor Taylor -- very pleased. and my favourite part (hee hee "part") was when I asked Mr. Superstylist if he's ever jabbed someone in the eye with scissors while cutting their fringe, he responded with, "No no no, but I have accidentally yanked some eyebrow rings out...and I just say to them, 'sorry, guess the 90s are officially over.'" :)
3. Making pumpkin pie -- delish and enjoyed by all.
4. Trip to Absolute Vintage -- fantastic, but only if you like rows and rows of fabulous footwear at amazing prices and racks of supercute dresses and hats from decades gone by.
5. Staying up until the creakity crack of dawn to watch the Super Bowl -- totally worth it. But I need a coffee the size of my head.

Things to look forward to this weekend.

As predicted...

I was mortified yesterday to see two people at two different times skateboarding through the tunnels at the tube station. Yes. Skateboarding. Why do people insist on making me want to hurt them? On the bright side, there was a great female singer busking at Bank. She sounded like Juliet Turner.
