puppetmakerAnd you what that means, Oscar nominations are out! Overall not too bad. The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus got two nods for art direction and costuming but deserved so much more. And Avatar got way too many but didn't get one for script so that is something. I can't say that having 10 nominations for best picture is a good idea. Sure that would allow more films to say nominated for best picture but it dilutes the brand name. Although "Up" is nominated for both animated and best picture this year so that is a move up for animated films. Joseph Gordon Levitt yet again gets no love from the Academy. His performance in 500 days of Summer was just wonderful.
So have you seen Parnassus? Is it still showing anywhere close to your area? Inquiring minds want to know.
Caroline had a hard time getting to sleep last night and, therefore, had a hard time getting up this morning. Peter drove her to school to give her about another 15-20 minutes to get herself together. We had packed her school bag the night before and picked out her clothes so once she was up, she moved right along.
We have predictions of snow for this evening and tomorrow but no meteorologist is rubbing their hands together with glee. I think they know that we are both use to and sick of the cold and the snow. And there floats a snow flake through the air.
I am out of sorts right now. Nothing bad has happened, in fact I got some great news about a friend's health that has me doing the Happy Snoopy Dance. I guess it is just one of those "waiting for the other shoe to drop" paranoid feelings especially since seem that some of the plates that haven't been spinning are back up again and in play. Think good thoughts for us. It would be nice to get some more good news.
So six more weeks of winter, I guess I'll just keep the woolies where I can get to them the next time the temperature goes back into the deep freeze. I will say that my Uggs have done a yeoman's work keeping my feet warm.
I am grateful that Caroline was feeling better this morning.
