Oscar night was great! Although I still feel bad for Roger Ross Williams, the director of Best Documentary Short Subject winner Music by Prudence, who was interrupted by that woman. I’ve read that she was a co-producer and also a nominee, but that she was taken off the project a year ago.

Even if she had a case, and should have been on that stage too, I’d have been more sympathetic if she had managed to summon some measure of graciousness and made at least some attempt at sharing the moment. The fact that she didn’t makes me not surprised that she was taken off the project. She says it was her idea. Okay. But this is not the award for whose idea it was, but the execution.

And I loved that League of Extraordinary Dancers homage. As usual, I was frustrated by the camera work, because I couldn’t see a lot of what was going on. I spotted Kayla and Russell from So You Think You Can Dance. I’m sure there were others. The Asian kid dancing with Kayla during the UP part of that dance was amazing!! But there were tons of amazing moves. I wish I could see it again from different angles. Hell, I wish I could have been there.

This is a picture of another amazing house in Brooklyn.

Finney has the most expressive face, doesn’t he? Look at him. God, I do love the furballs.

In Brooklyn!! I am practically sobbing with longing. The tree, the vines, everything. Want. Anyway. Sigh. Moving on.

The Oscars are tomorrow!! Woohoo! The red carpet! Outfits and looks to critique! I just remembered the year I had to watch the Oscars from the Extended Stay Hotel in Durham. I had just bought an HDTV and it was killing me that I was missing it in hi-def. Well, not this year!

I was posting so many pictures of snow I didn’t think anyone could take one more, but I took this on the way to choir practice last week. I liked the infinity mirror-like aspect of it. This guy was taking a picture of the snow so I thought I’d take a picture of him taking a picture of the snow, AND get some snow in there myself.

The paperback of my book Unbelievable comes out next week and I have to start going promotion-crazy. I’ve put together a to-do list. Revving up …

All the best people will get that reference. It fits my over-stressed mood and why pretty lights would happily distract me. I keep calling them Christmas lights, but there’s no reason to assume they’re not just pretty lights for the sake of pretty lights, and not Christmas-related.
