I LOVE THE OSCARS! It is probably my favorite day of the year. I love it so much that I started watching preshow at around 1130 am and watched almost straight through til now while I am still watching the post show on E!. It is my dream to one day go to the Oscars, wel lmor ethe after parties. Me and (e:jill) think we are just going to start a rival post party that will rival the Governor's Ball and start wooing the celebrities that way. We don't have much to offer, excpet maybe some Gordon Lightfoot cds and some tasty nacho chip creations. But hey there are plenty of c-list celebrities out ther ethta need to go somewhere. So anyway, waht are some of the tings I saw and learned in my 12 hour Oscarathon

1. I watched a behind the scenes look at a commerical that was going to air during the Oscars. It was an American Express one by M. Night Shaymalan. He talked about the only reason he did it was becuase it was something he oculd be behind and support. Um a credit card? Not exactly like a good cause....

2. Plenty of ways to use M&M's in an oscar party. It was weird cuz at first I was thinking wow does this party planner for the stars really use MM's in like everything and then I realized that M&M's were the official sponsor of this years telecast. That and JCPenney's...cuz nothing says glamour like JCPenney's.

3. I didn't realize there was so much controversy about Jon Stewart as host. So many people on the preshows were saying he is too edgy and liberal and that America wouldn't tune in...I am waiting to see the results...I personally thin khe did a good job for the most part

4. Reese Witherspoon...love her...hate her dress

5. I love montages probably more than any living person but um come one they had some rather ridiculous ones. Like honestly noone had any idea what they were even montaging. LIke they just were montaging old movies, then movies based on people, then like movies based on things...it was a little redic.

6. Joan Rivers was interviewing Gary Busey and it was relaly bad and afterwards like completeyl seriously she said something like "this show is crap just cut back to Melissa" ..i know she jokes about it bu tI tink she really felt that the show had gone down

7. I swear the interviewers get crazier every year.

MY PERSONAL FAVORITE: Isaac Mizrahi interviewing Ludacris on the red carpet and he says something to the extent of "those are some cute little beatiufl diamond earrings you have one" haha i think you had to see it to understand but it was seriously hilarious!

9. And what was up wiht the writer of Brokeback. Was she like drugged up and did you catch the shot of her drinking in her seat. She was ridiculous.

10. THANK GOD THEY LET THE REAL SINGERS SING THE SONGS THIS YEAR. I don't know if the rest of you remember but last year Beyonce sang three of the nominated osngs and Antonio Banderas sang one even though the real singers were in the audience. It was so stupid so I'm glad they went back to the real thing. AND WHOA DOlly is hott!

11. Ryan Seacrest, after probably the awkwardest interview ever with Naomi Watts gave her a free DVD of King Kong....which she starred in...so I"m sure she prolly already had a copy if she wanted one...what a loser he is.....

Ok thats all for now ...oh wait one mor ehing....who was th ehideously dressed respoter on ABC's preshow. She had an armband on and looked ridiculous. It made me physically sick. Or maybe it was the mass quantities of food me and (e:jill) ate because we thougth more people would be there but there were just four of us yet we ate like all the food anyway.....

So (e:beast) is leaving again. She is going to Alaska. I think she will be eternally traveling but she will always be back. ANyway, I will miss ya (e:beast). Who am I gonna find who will go up to a couple dry humping in the corner of SoHo and pretend to interview them wiht a fake microphone that is actually just your hand. Noone! You're one of a kind. See ya in a few month if we don't meet up in Hawaii first!@

Last nights going away party was fun. An odd assortment of people from teres's life. There was this creepy old man at Frizzy's who was hitting on Teres and would not stop staring at her. He sat on her chair with her and she said this is uncomfortable but he didn't get it and still asked her to go out and have a smoke with him. He would not leave her a lone even after me and Jill sent him scowering looks and showed him our big guns. People are weird. I think I will always love Frizzy's if for no other reason than the photo booth.

So (e:beast) is leaving town for Alaska on Monday. She is moving to Alaska with her cousin and is gonna be living there until around October so we are going out tonight to celebrate. (Not celebrate she is leaving haha but celebrate the funness that is (e:beast)) YOU ALL SHOULD COME OUT!!! We will be at Frizzy's on Allen around 11ish and not sure where from there but will liely be there for quite a while first if not for the whole night. Come out, have some drinks, and wish (e:beast) a good move. The more the merrier.....if you want to make sure we are there call me.

SO last night me, (e:paul), (e:terry) and (e:matt) went out for Mardi Gras. Holy Heck did I get wasted. I don't remember any of it. Too many shots of Soco and too much of everything else. I honestloy aclled everyone I know I think while drunk, ok well a lot of innaprotpriateness I guess from the comments and calls I've got today. Hmm uh oh! Anywho, Today I get in my car to go get lunch and think hmm it feels like I had a parking ticket in this car. LIke I couldn't remember it but like that weird like I remember sitting in this chair and having a parking ticket. I search the car and find no ticket and decide it must have been a dream...but then tonight I found a ticket in my mirror, so I guess I did get one. Darnit!@

So after that crazyness today is Ash Wednesday and so I start my abstitence from french fries and potato chips. Anyone who knows me knows that french fries are about 50% of my diet. Whenever I give them up I end up eating more potato chips so I decided to give both up. I hope it sticks after Lent. That usually happens and that is how I have gotten over pop, gum and other addictions in years past. This will also help in my gym endeavor though right now I think I am the fattiest ever even though I have been going to the gym a lot.

So craziness of hangover, being at work at 830 am and not being able to eat my normal hangover diet of pizza logs and french fries with blue cheese (cuz also no meat today) and then going to the gym tonight makes me have a headache. And now in two days is Michelle my bestest coworker and now friend ever's last day at Eckerd and Teres leaves for Alaska on Monday. Ok this is gonna be an insanely emotional rest of the week../.

Saw many an (e:peep) at the art show at the Hotel Lenox last night. (e:robin)'s room was by far the most fun, what can be better than a room full of people in their pajamas and free booze. Not much is better than that if I do say so myself. I'm sure the fun onlyc ontinued and got better after I had to leave to meet up with a friend.

So last night I ended up wihtout a car becuase I went to the mall with (e:beast) and (e:mk) and then we went to spot where (e:pmt) picked me up to go to the art show. So then I had no car for the night. That freaks me out. I don't know why but i just like to know I have a car in the general area, otherwise I feel so trapped. LIke i Know i can always stay at (e:pmts) and stuff but I don't know I just like to have my car around. ANywho it always works out either if I end up walking home at 5am or much nicer this time my friend Dave drove me home after spending the night watching his photo slideshow of Cuba. It was really cool, it was a lto of just like candid shots of the poeple and stuff which like you never see. It wasn't touristy and liek scenic things but liek the real life of the people. It was cool cuz like who goes to Cuba.Anyways, I just always feel bad cuz like I live in Kenmore, not like it is sooo far but it isn't around here where eveyrone else lives. I feel bad he had to drive me home but thanks Dave! I think it is def time to get an apt soon! If only I could win the lottery...maybe if I played it I could win it!
