In Key West. Freaking dial-up is the absolute worst. I’m spoiled by my cable modem. The sis and her hubby are great. The baby is cute and startlingly smart. She’s just about a year and a half and can already count to 10, and tell you all the letters in the alphabet. She has a large vocabulary, the newest addition to which would be the word “jackass,” thanks to her Auntie Freakgirl. It was an accident. Going to hang out at the bar tonight while my sister works, then the weekend is up for grabs. We do plan to visit this butterfly refuge thing – I can’t wait for that. We had a party last night and it rained BUCKETS. Thank god they’re in this nice new place with a covered porch. My neice was so whipped up at the amount of people there that all she could do was run through the house shrieking and laughing. Around 8:15pm, she basically passed out cold. She kills me. Talk to you all soon.

Off to the airport. I will miss you!! I disabled the comments while I’m away. However, you can still go talk on the forums, and please do. Go to the “Hey Mom, What’s for Dinner” thread and remind the geekboy that while I’m away, he shouldn’t be eating Taco Bell every night. Be nice to him; I’m leaving him here all alone with the cat. You might want to check in with him every now and again and make sure he’s still alive. :) Bye!

This world makes my stomach hurt. Tomorrow at this time, I’ll be stepping off a plane in Key West and seeing my little niece at the airport. I need some insulation right now…this trip couldn’t come at a better time. I will put the geekboy in charge while I’m gone…I might post once or twice, but I hope to be way too busy to worry about it.

Our Oscar gathering this year was lots of fun. Junk food as far as the eye could see, plus nummy champagne cocktails courtesy of Lisa. Maria walked away with a trophy for the most correct picks, and thanked Entertainment Weekly and her mother in a short acceptance speech. Lisa won for Line of the Night and, although we were really honoring her for her entire body of work throughout the evening, her winning line was “Who knew you could improve upon a Yodel?” This remark was spurred by Janet’s soon-to-be-famous Frozen Yodels on a Stick. I walked away with the Outburst of the Night Award, which I created last year after having my Ryan O’Neal freakout. This year, my non-sequitor was, “I say, when we’re down the shore this summer, we only eat food on sticks.” So obviously, Janet’s creation has affected us all quite deeply. We thank her for that.

Of course, we also did our annual Alternate Porn Titles for the Best Picture Nominees. I’m pleased to present: Gang Bangs of New York, Lord of the Cock Rings – The Two Titties, The Whores, The Penis, and my personal favorite, Chicago: All That Jizz.

I ended the evening on a dramatic note when, while blowing out a candle, managed to blow some hot wax right into my eye. A few minutes under the faucet seemed to help.

Another Oscars show over with. There were some nice surprises…Adrian Brody winning (and slamming Halle Berry with that kiss – well done there), Eminem winning, and Jennifer Lopez’s obvious terror at being somewhere she didn’t belong. By the way – you celebrities who leapt to your feet and cheered when Michael Moore won, and then sat there with your hands in your lap when people started booing him? Fuck. You. All.

Last night we watched the Independent Spirit Awards. I wish every awards show was this good. It was funny, fast-paced, and honest. If last night was any indication, there will be a lot of anti-war statements tonight at the Oscars.

Remember, people come first. In that spirit, here are some ways to help our soldiers. (Yes, it is possible to support our soldiers and still be pro-peace.) And here are some ways to help Iraqi refugees.
