time spent

we're living here among the wreckage of what used to be organized stuff but now, in this space, it's all come apart...we got to bed super late last night and today was stake conference so we dredge out of bed and go, and what?, The satellite feed from the stake center to our building was totally busted and we sat there for 45 minutes looking at each other other thinking, ok, we got out of bed to be uplifted and here we sit....then we got visual feed with no audio, followed by garbled audio with no visual and then barely intelligible audio with fuzzy visual for the last 40 minutes or so....with squirmy babies and no real cohesive spirit to keep you rivited, i can just go ahead and say my Sealy and my 400 thread counts were straight up screaming my name...we're watching the oscars right now and Ruby is sitting way up by my shoulder sucking her hand watching a stirring rendition of "it'shard out here for a pimp" like it's the philharmonic or something...I don't think baby einstein has come out with a "baby street smarts" video yet, so she'll have to take it easy on the gangsta rap...Ok, "it's hard out here for a pimp just WON the oscar and I have to say I'm a little sad because Dolly Parton was totally working it out with that travelin' through song and I have to say, I cried out of sheer Dolly is so good-ness...this is another reason why I really wish I had Tivo because this show really is just about 6 awards or so and it goes ahead on and lasts FOR ever...everyone's faces are getting more shiny and they all look a little bedraggled...
these are the people I think look amazing though:
Meryl Streep
Michelle Williams (man she looks am-azing)
Reese Witherspoon
Judi Dench (please Lord, let me look like her when I'm her age, she's my favorite lady)
Naomi Watts
Sandra Bullock (although I totally had a shelley segal ball skirt with pockets in the front like 8 years ago and everyone's like, wow, pockets, wow, whatever)
Felicity Huffman

these are the people I think looked rediculous:
Charlize Theron
the girl with Phillip Seymore Hoffman
I want to say Keira Knightly but I can't decide if my feelings are tainted by bad orthodontia
Charlize Theron

my new food obsession is avocado with salt...i'l l go eat a third one now...

I think Reese and the gay cowboy's wife/girlfriend looked the best. I wish that one chick could go out on a date with George Clooney - the one who said thank you for letting me sit next to him. It mortified me and made me feel a kinship to her all at once. It was something I know I would have done.

lou- did you see how he looked at the camera after she said that? seriously it was like high school. It was like when the nerdy drama girl has it for the cool jock guy and says something outrageous and he's like, "man, I am too cool for that shiz..." I kindof lost respect for him at that.

erin- I watched all the after oscar fashion shows on style, did you? they all loved loved loved michelle williams. loved. and were ambivalent about Charlize. I thought Uma Thurman looked really good, her dress was great. oh yeah, and sandra bullock. the pocket thing is great, it's too bad you didn't get to wear your ballgown/skirt on the red carpet two years ago or whenever. but you've always been ahead of the pack, in a few years everyone in hollywood is going to be teaching their kids spanish and only eating avacados with salt. those copycatters.

tell me about it, sheesh...it's so hard out here on the edge...the cutting edge I mean...pretty soon everyone is going to have postpartum depression and shower twice a week and buy the big carton of eggs at costco because its cheaper...I'm just going to be so mad when Sandra Bullock is like, whatever, I started that...I think Uma looked amazing too...I keep forgetting to say that but I think that...also I am so tired to the show how do I look...I want more stuff on Style that is good...that show is on all day LONG!!!

I know, I know. I heard on defamer.com that he went home that night with a porn star. Who does he think he is, George Clooney? Oh...wait... I mean, honestly, she was up there getting a freakin' oscar too, just like him.

erin- I already act that way like with the postpartum depression and the not showering but twice a week and buying way too many eggs. I have two dozen in the fridge right now. and the toilet paper... I have to buy so much of it all the time, it's ridiculous. it's like if I don't have at least 10 extra rolls I get all nervous... yeah.
I agree about the how do I look thing, also they always run the same shows over and over like a MILLION times... PLEASE PLEASE MAKE SOME NEW SHOWS! jeezum.

lou- George Clooney... I'm so over him.
