new week

Here it is another Monday and, thankfully, we didn't get all the snow they were saying we would get. I'm still not feeling 100% but I'm here to blog and blog I will.

Ridiculous item of the day: A man in Alaska has had his "manhood" re-attached after a fight with his girlfriend, over a breakup, left him missing one of his parts. The two had been arguing and then they decided to have sex. The man agreed to let the woman tie his hands to a windowsill (stupid!!!! and how does one tie someone's hands to a windowsill anyway?). The next thing that happens is graphic, please close your eyes as you read. The woman cut off the man's penis with a kitchen knife and FLUSHED IT DOWN THE TOILET!!!! Yikes!!!! Luckily, for the man, the penis was retrieved and reattached successfully. I don't know about you but I probably would have ordered a new one (hahaha).

Oscar Watch Cont.....

Today is the Best Supporting Actor race. Some previous winners in this race have been Walter Brennan, Jack Lemmon, George Kennedy, John Houseman, and Jim Broadbent.

Before I get to this year's nominees, I'd like to mention a few names that were snubbed who should have been nominated. Peter Sarsgaard, Kinsey's dutiful assistant in their quest to learn about people's sexual habits. James Garner, who lovingly played a man trying desperately to jog his wife's Alzheimer's afflicted mind. And, of course, Freddie Highmore, who played the young kid who inspired J.M. Barrie to write Peter Pan. He was a marvel in the film and I will not be convinced that he wasn't robbed.

Alan Alda: Playing a not nice Senator in The Aviator, Alda scores his first ever nomination. Haven't seen the movie....yet. Alda may have been long in waiting for this moment but he won't be smiling on Oscar night.

Thomas Haden Church: Playing a man about to get married who wants to fool around a bit more before saying, I DO, Church is also a first time nominee. Not a Oscar nominee worthy performance, in my humble opinion, and Church may as well stay home on Oscar night.

Jamie Foxx: Nominated for his cabbie driving around a murderer performance, Foxx really didn't need this nomination. He was also nominated for Ray and with this supp. actor nomination, shut out another performance that could have been chosen.

Morgan Freeman: Playing a retired boxer with lots of wise bon mots, Freeman scores yet another nom (his 4th). This is not his best work and although I think Freeman SHOULD WIN, he unfortunately won't.

Clive Owen: Another first time nominee for his engrossing performance of a man cuckolded by Julia Roberts. He also gets to verbally trash her and while he has moments where one may think, oh my gosh, he's sick, it's hard for one to look away from his face. Owen will be smiling on Oscar night....WILL WIN

More later, enjoy your day.

love,
