75th Oscars or How I wasted 4 hours

Happy about the following Oscar wins:

Best Animated Feature: Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi) (Yay, Hayao Miyazaki!)
Visual Effects: Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Sound Editing: Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Documentary Feature: Bowling for Columbine (and rock on Michael Moore for that acceptance speech! Fictitious election, war, President, Orange Alert, and duct tape, indeed.)
Best Song: Eminem, "Lose Yourself" for 8 Mile (I wonder if he wasn't thre to perform or accept because, hmm.. he's mouthy?)
Best Performance by an Actor: Adrien Brody for The Pianist (and also a very lovely speech, especially the bit at the end when he told them that he wasn't done and the actually cut the music so he could talk about the sadness of this war and hoped for the safe return of his friend and their unit.)
Best Performance by an Actress: Nicole Kidman for the Hours (cause that speech alone and her trying to stop the band was great)

I shall not mention the losses, because there were many. Also, I'll be surprised if Steve Martin doesn't get the crap kicked out of him for the many, many jokes he's made in poor taste. Like the France/Germany coverage.

Keanu looks so unamused. Not a fan of Colin Farrell, but love the accent and the bit of Gaelic thrown into the U2 intro. Poor Peter O'Toole - lose 7 get one free? Eh.

Also, intercutting the Oscars with "war" updates? Lame. Because, what, are we surprised that they're resisting? Please.

Most amusing moment - Jen Garner & Mickey Mouse presenting Best Animated Short. 3D Mickey is rather odd.

Very, very disappointed that friggin' Chubbchubbs won over The Cathedral, which I had a chance to see at Siggraph. The animation rocked and the concept was amazing.

Once again. Lord of the Rings was robbed. Bitches and hos.

Monday?!

This weekend I've done nothing. NOTHING. Not one damn thing that could be considered productive. *sigh* I did read a little bit, but not really enough to be considered caught up with class >_< I am so going to fail.

Jay IMed me earlier to let me know I was being assigned a ticket to fix someone's printer on Monday. Then he tells me that it shouldn't take more than an hour or two.. or three. Um.. Thanks. :-P Also, Chardo has my SN now. Gods help me.

Don't remember what happened, but Nicolas Tse is making a come back. Sweet. Maybe his new sound will be more rock and less ballad-y pop.

I still want this. It's just like Faith's!

According to Human For Sale, I'm currently worth $1,801,580.00. That's $106,422 more than I was worth when I took the test in August 2001. Go me!

Since I have no mail and don't plan on doing any work, I think going to bed would be a good option. So. Off to slumber I go.
