So, who watched the Academy Awards?
I used to make a big brou-ha-ha about all the awards shows (and I mean ALL of them), because I loved to obsess over the fashion. That was back when I wanted to be a fashion designer. But I'm not so into them anymore, but because Ellen DeGeneres was hosting this year's awards, I decided to watch it. I didn't care to watch for the first half, and I guess I missed out on some good stuff, but I did catch the part where Ellen was sitting near Clint Eastwood and she got Steven Spielberg to take a picture of Clint and her for her MySpace. I thought she was just saying it, but on a whim, I decided to check and lo! she totally wasn't kidding.
That's what makes Ellen so damn cool.
Baba and I both agreed that there used to be more stage time for the hosts AND the performances, but I still liked this year's show. Even though I'm not much into celebrity "news" I do think it'd be fun to cover the Oscars someday, if I worked at a fashion/entertainment magazine or something. (By "celebrity news," I mean tabloids and other gossip rags like People, Us Weekly, etc. I think it's rude of paparazzi to intrude on celebrity's every waking moment... but I also recognize that celebrities ARE public figures, and as such, they have fewer privacy rights than ordinary citizens-- this is fact, not me "defending journalism." If anything, I'd like to be involved with celebrities the way Barbara Walters is-- involving them as people, not the latest gossip or rumors.)
Meh, I guess I'm impatient... even though I never really used MySpace that much, I don't like not having access to it. I think it'd be cool to try and friend EllenDeG, even though she's got over 6000 requests pending. Hee. I've always liked Ellen bunches. Odd, too, considering Ellen's my middle name, and I've always been kind of ashamed of it. But not anymore. Hell, it's been part of my screen name for ages... so yes.
My middle name's ELLEN!
And I've been starting to think about visiting SF again. I mean, I already know I am (Mar 30-Apr 6! BE READY!), but I'm thinking about what I want to do and where I want to go. For sure I think I'll go back to Wash, especially if the ROTC is getting phased out of schools. It'd be nice to say goodbye to the place that had a big part in shaping who I am. I had a lot of memories --good and bad-- there.
...My friends can probably see where I'm going with this. Yeah, I started thinking Stupid Giggle-Worthy Thoughts again.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cutieme4u, schmollieollie, you know what I mean, right? Smack me when you see me, I'm such a dork. Haha.
