We just got home from the Oscar party at Jodi and Sam’s. It’s an annual affair with them and quite the soirée. This year was a little odd for me. Somehow, I managed to miss seeing all but two of the films on the awards tonight. I saw Golden Compass and Sweeney Todd. That’s it.

As such, my only relevant reactions are going to be to dresses — no good standouts this year — and the best effects Oscar. Seriously? People thought the Golden Compass effects were better than Pirates of the Caribbean? That’s just crazy. I mean people have been doing talking animals more convincingly since Babe. I was seriously annoyed through most of Golden Compass because I just couldn’t believe the animals.

Honest. I’ll put a picture up soon. I just haven’t had clean enough hands to use the camera while working on the counter. All the tile is in except for the bits around the faucet. I’ll do those and grout everything tomorrow. I would’ve finished tonight except Rob and I went down to the Celsi’s to watch the Academy Awards.
