My Snuggies

My new Facebook friend Lindsey was spot on when she mentioned the Snuggies (a blanket with sleeves!) looks like what members of a cult would wear. And now, New York Times uncharacteristically charms their readers with a photo essay taking their infomercial literally to the streets by wearing them outdoors. 

My Craigslist Posting

Sometimes, when I'm having a bad day, I cheer myself up by reading the 'Missed Connections' listings on Craigslist to see what kinds of creepiness is out there. This is today's winner. 

There are usually worse ones.

My Slumdog Millionaire Magazine Cover

I'm still smiling too. Get ready folks, Miss Freida Pinto is about to invade your magazine covers.

My Best-Of Christian Bale Remixes

(this blog entry contain uber amounts of vulgarity)

So a few weeks after the Christian Bale tapes leaked, I'd figure it's time to collect the best remixes from the world of Youtube from creative genius who did their best with limited source material.

Oh, I can laugh at this all day long.

My Happy Moment Of The Day

Upon receiving this return address sticker on the envelope today, I smiled instantly. Is that not the most precious thing in the world? Sadly, that smile went away a few hours later.

My Favorite Oscar Speeches

It's a close one, but these two were my favorite of the night -although much props to the "Mr. Roboto" guy. Relive them now before AMPAS takes them away!

Dustin Lance Black, with perhaps the most touching and inspirational speech of the night.

And of course, la Winslet herself. Watching her go up there and greeted by modern legends almost seemed like she was getting knighted, no?

My Peterio Awards (Part Forty-Seven: Best Ensemble Performance In a Film)

Never letting go the connection of a complicated family dynamic with more baggage than most, the cast of Rachel Getting Married maintained the tricky balance of self-assurance and reliance on one another without ever overshadowing the delicate, beautiful story.
