And the Oscar goes to....

No one. At least not for the actual production of the show.

Ugh. What a waste of time to watch that mess last night. Was glad that Diablo Cody won for original screenplay, in fact I was generally pleased with all the winners, but the show itself?

BOOOOOOORRRRRINNNNNNNNG...

So boring.

My new iPhone isn't boring though. I'm going to go play with it some more now.
The end.

Some stuff I like...

I read Post Secret every week. Like religiously. It's sort of a "guilty" pleasure, though more often than not, it ends up touching my heart.

Anyway, this week Frank has created a little sidebar site called ...
Found Cameras and Orphan Pictures

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. While going through security at JFK airport, I lost 7 rolls of film coming back from Austria in 1986, a whole summers worth of memories gone. I've never gotten over it really. Anyway, I wish "I Found Your Camera" had been around back then. Hell, I wish the internet had been around back then. LOL.

Anyway, check it out!

Another website that I can't get enough of is ETSY. If you are an artist of any kind; photographer, jewelery maker, clothing designer, etc. you can sell your wares here. And boy, there is some really cool stuff!! I have bought more than a few baby tees for Dexy. Let me tell you, t's not easy to find cool baby stuff at the local Old Navy, not unless you don't mind seeing the same outfit on every kid in the universe. But hey, I'm just saying.

Of course, another perennial fave is always the Secret Diary of Steve Jobs. My friend Steve reads this avidly as well, and if he wasn't the first person to direct me to it, he certainly reminds me to go there regularly. It's quite hilarious, I must say (as I type this blog out on my beautiful 24" iMac).
Well, that's it for now. Oh, except for one last note. Ms. Diablo Cody, if you're out there... please oh please come back to The Pussy Ranch. We miss you! MySpace is swell to be sure, but it's just not the same without you here on Blogger.

The End. For now.

Juno - wow

Why oh why didn't I see this movie sooner?

It rocked. So much.

See, I'm adopted. My biological mom is sort of a hard thing to go into, but let's just say the cactus reference was something that wasn't lost on me (if you've seen "Juno" you'll know what I mean by that). And my Mom, the one that raised me, well, she's been gone since July. Though really, she's been gone for a lot longer than that b/c she had Alzheimer's. And man, I f**king miss her more than I can say or explain.

Bigger though is the fact that now I'm a mom too. And my daughter, well hells bells, she is just the most.

The most.

So, Juno & Paul get to live happily ever after. Vanessa gets her baby. And Juno's parents are the kind of parents I want to be someday when I grow up. May my own personal Paul (aka JP) & I be so lucky as to watch this beautiful little girl become the amazing woman I already know she'll be. I'd like that, a lot.

Mom, I hope you're watching this w/ Grandma Pink. I think you'd be proud. Or at least, I hope so. Anyway, I love you. I miss you.

And Diablo Cody, wherever you are... thank you for telling "my" story, even if it isn't really mine. This little piece of cinematic heaven has gone right to a special corner of my heart.

The end.

P.S. A Side note:

The Tree Dude from our neighborhood association just dropped by. Not only am I getting the one CA Pepper tree I'd hoped for (in honor of mom) to replace the very dead piece of crap the City of Long Beach planted some 30 years ago, but I'm getting TWO. And my dad & I got to share a happy tearful moment together. The Tree Dude lost his mom the day after Xmas this year. He gave me a hug. I needed it. Thanks Tree Dude!

Thanks Universe (Life, Spirit, G-d). You rock too.
