Want to know what's in those gift baskets that everyone gets?
Well you can find a list of the goodies over at girlhacker.com's blog.
I don't even know if I'm going to watch the Oscars tonight. I'm not particularly interested, although I do like Steve Martin.
I remember when I was in high school, the Oscars were THE Event for the Drama Club crowd. We'd get dressed up, get someone's older brother to buy us champagne and figure out who's house had the best combination of a big TV, jacuzzi and out-of-town parents.
Good times.
This year? Feh, whatever.
In the DVD Comentary for Hardball, the director (?) talks about meeting Keanu the day after the Oscars. Keanu showed up approximately an hour and a half late (he did call) in his helmet claiming that "the day after the Oscars should be a holiday."
So tomorrow is unofficially "Keanu Reeves Day".
So bake a cake or something.
I think I may watch just to see how manu clebes speak out against the war or get cut off by abc for speaking out against the war.
