The Oscars and Idaho


Ok so last night, the Oscars. It had some props of course but the show in general was a drop.

Highlights:
-Ellen asking Spielberg to take a photo of her and Clint Eastwood for her Myspace...yeah
-Scorsese winning FINALLY
-Jennifer Hudson kicking butt and winning
-Celine Dion singing, ok she has weird facial expressions but the woman can sing!

Not so highlights:
-Peter O'Toole....as my roommate said "he's got one foot in the grave".
-Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson dueling it out on stage in a vocal battle.
-Forest Whitaker winning best lead actor. I cannot stand him. Leonardo Dicaprio deserved to win.
-After Celine sang, the Italian guy going up on stage with a blind-non reading teleprompted Clint Eastwood. The man gave his speech in Italian and Clint Eastwood translated...yeah ok. Even Kate Winslet had the WTF face going on.


Ok I will stop now about the Oscars. Onto other news that is so much more important.

I've been told by Craig that I have a duty to all of you to write a blog about my journey that is coming up. My boyfriend (referred to here after as BW or Boy Wonder) just got a job in Boise, Idaho. YAY BW! Go you. So BW must go to Boise and start his 3 month co-op but he wants his car. So I have been elected co-pilot on our lil trek across the country. Yeah New York to Idaho? Ever glanced at Idaho on a map? It's not close...at all. I decided to help you all out and include a link with a map(http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=rochester+to+boise&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=62.70117,112.851563&ie=UTF8&z=4&om=1)

Far right? Yep. But atleast it is only one way. BW is being a good guy and buying me a plane ticket home. That will be a predicament in itself. I'm flying Boise to Seattle, Seattle to Washington D.C., D.C. to Syracuse and then driving back to Rochester from there Sunday morning. Yeah I have French class at 9am Monday...

I think that just about covers my rants for the day. I wont be updating for a few days unfortunately. I'm going to see my other Boy Wonder, Johnny Mayer :) Tuesday night I will be MIA and quite possibly sneaking backstage.

Ignore the link the picture comes from, google maps decided not to be my friend.

my favorite part of the oscars was definitely jack black and will ferrel's skit about how comedians don't get attention at the oscars.
