hmm.

well, i have to be honest.  i wasn't really able to watch the oscars in the way that i usually do, and have done since i was, ohhh 8.  so i did not even do my own homework assignment, though i did notice several occurrences of each of the items listed.  

not much to report today.  oh, well i guess i never talked about getting bitten in the face by a dog this weekend.  ha.  i guess i should mention that.  nothing too serious at all, just a nice little slice on my jawline.  it was a 'kindly' old dog from down the street who is deaf and old as dirt.  he was routing through our trash, and i knew he had to be lost, as he was about a quarter of a mile from home, and looks like he can barely walk.  that's right, i got taken by a geriatric dog.  i grabbed a leash and went outside to walk him back home.  i went about the process pretty slowly, just so he wouldn't be scared.  and after a few minutes, i bent over to attach the leash, and that's when he got me.  several quick snaps, and one connected.  i actually kept on walking him for a second, and then touched my face and realized it was bleeding.  i unhooked the leash, and went inside.

after a quick trip to urgent care, everything is fine.  and i'm quite thankful that after years of picking up flea-ridden animals that this is the first time this has happened.  and also very thankful that old yeller (yes, that was his name), was a BLESSED inch or two away from snagging the lip ring.  

(dry heave).  

oscar time

i am ready for some overly decadent ice cream, pjs, and super-bowl-sized coverage of the oscars tomorrow.  i mean, really ready.  

the last few years, i have either written or printed out the ballot list and competed with friends to see who guesses the most categories correctly.  but this year, i think we should all do this:

it's real simple's oscar quiz.  

come on, it's fun, and this is not the type of thing where you have to know a lot about the nominated movies.  it's a pdf file, so print 'er out, and get back to me on how it goes.

in the meantime, get some popcorn or chocolate or whatever, and then get to work!

conspiracy

blerg.  

this post is really going to be about as exciting as the past few days have been.  not very.  

i wrote a post yesterday, but decided it smelled a little too much of bitterness, so never published it.  it was mostly funny anecdotes about the girls that are living here right now.  but the funniness may have bordered on mean, so i drafted it.  i will say though, i'm pretty sure they're plotting my demise.  it could be all the LOST watching, but i am convinced that they are indeed, the others.

what else?

• after months of working with Beu on retrieving, all of a sudden yesterday, she just got it.  
  
• still earnestly searching for a job.  at this point, i'm pretty open to taking one anywhere in the general north carolina area.  i really need a job.
• oscar nominations out today.  

okay, bye!
