Ellen with Clint Eastwood at the 79th Annual Oscars 2007
My favorite "Ellen" Moment at the Oscars. The show wouldn't have been so friggen boring if there had been more Ellen being Ellen, and less clip montages like the one featuring Foreign Languiage film winners through the ages.... ZZzzzzzzzzz.....
(Again, the embedded video disappeared... Here it is on YouTube.)
And The Oscar goes to...Melissa Etheridge
My favorite Oscar Moment last night. "I have to thank my incredible wife Tammy!" Her whole speech was wonderful -- I LOVE this woman!!!
(For some reason, the embeded video disappeared-- here'e the link to it on YouTube)

Wonderful News!
Her positive attitude, and the fact that there isn't a living person on the planet with more people who love them, I'm sure helped.
To quote the the man behind the curtain in Wizard of Oz: "The heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others."
Grandma truly has the biggest heart of anyone I know, and it shows the minute you meet her.

Wake up!
from the new hit Broadway Musical "Spring Awakening"
All that's known,
In History, in Science,
Overthrown
At school,
at home, by blind men.
You doubt them,
And soon they bark and hound you-
Til everything you say is just another
bad about you.
All they say
Is "Trust in what is written."
Wars are made,
And somehow that
is wisdom.
Thought is suspect
And money is their idol,
And nothing
is okay unless it's scripted
in their Bible.
But I know
There's so much more to find-
Just looking through myself, and not at them.
Still, I know
To trust my own true mind,
And to say: there's a
way through this...
On I go,
To wonder and to learning-
Name the stars
And know their dark returning.
I'm calling,
To know the
world's true yearning-
The hunger that a child feels for
everything
they're shown.
You watch me-
Just watch me-
I'm calling,
And one day all will know.
I saw this show last fall and loved it. I posted about it then. You can read those posts here and here.
I've been playing this song on the soundtrack a lot lately. I have been so utterly disgusted by all the Anna Nicole Smith coverage (Larry King needs to just STOP!!!) and, once and for all, ENOUGH ABOUT BRITNEY SPEARS!!!!
People, WAKE UP! We are occupying an unstable country that is at civil war! Our president is insisting on sending another 20,000+ troops over (a "surge"), he SAYS "to stabilize Iraq." Does anyone really believe that he is not doing this to set up an invasion of Iran next??? Is he going to further reduce our standing in the international community by arrogantly and unilaterally furthering his unjustified and unpopular agenda?! We can't go this alone, and if we continue to pooh-pooh the UN, we are going to find ourselves isolated and unable to regain our position of respect in the international community. People are actually buying into his fabricated illusion that Al-Qaeda = Iran/Iraq. Singling out one or two countries is not goign to make Al-Qaeda go away.
I do not profess to be as knowledgable about all this as I probably should be. But I DO know wthat I am disgusted that Anna Nicole Smith and Britney Spears are leading news broadcasts, and Iran/Iraq are somewhere near segment 2-3.
The media is feeding us all this CRAP! But what's worse, is that we are taking it! Like the lyrics to the song say, it's as if we are being tought not to have our own thoughts! If it's written, we must accept it and never--ever-- question it. If we do, we are branded unpatriotic, or as not supporting the troops.

And another...
Posted to Moblog via my cell phone camera: This was a small cardstock heart that was on a shelf I was straightening at BN. Again, and as always, oddly out of place, as if put there for me.

More Hearts
Posted from cell phone via Moblog:
I work a 2nd job part time at Barnes and Noble, and I was straightening up my register area at the start of my shift and came across this random piece of heart stationary under a pile of paperwork. It made me smile.
Haven't heard the story of the significance of all the hearts yet? Read my original posting here.

A Heart that Heals
This one was stuck to the sidewalk, so I couldn't take it with me... Probably wouldn't have wanted to anyway.

For Mom...
Here are a few more images of Trail Ridge I got online...
Mama/Mommy/Mother/Mom
path of life. "Is this the long way?" she asked. And the guide said: "Yes, and the way is hard. And you will be old before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the beginning."
reached the top they said, "Mother, we would not have done it without you."
And the children said, "You will always walk with
us,Mother, even when you have gone through the gates."And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gatesclosed after her. And they said: "We
cannot see her but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory. She is a living presence......."

Belated Birthday Celebration
Sent via Moblog Saturday night: Some friends took me out for a belated birthday celebration (the actual day of reckoning was last week in Florida with my family, and involved many frozen rum drinks at Rumrunners in Ft. Myers). Many tequila shots and lots of Amstel Light later, I was dropped at home to sleep it off. It was nice to cut loose a little...
