Normal Weekend

Another normal weekend here in Kobenhavn. Nothing special to report. Played Wii golf on Friday night with some guys and ate fried chicken later on. Rockin'. Why am I bothering to write when I've got nothing compelling to say? Good question. Still don't understand twitter or why people update their facebook status like we give a shit their cat looks cute in a sweater or they hate the new Bachelor.

Hurt Locker did well in the Oscar's didn't it? David beats Goliath. Hollwood really loves an underdog when that underdog isn't a white male (unless that white male is recovering from addiction). Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin must have been funny. The show didn't start here until 2am, so I'm just guessing.

Caught the first part the Oscards -thought it was pretty funny but I have a low threshold. Alec Baldwined could come out and stare at the camera for three hours and I would think it was to beat on. Reminds me of the time we did the CityTv camera thing and just sat there and stared. We thought we were the bomb. Speaking of bombs - hard to believe Hurt Lockered beat Avatared - although I've seen neither. Went to the theatre on Saturday night but didn't buy tickets prior to dinner. Sold out with all the pre-Oscard riff-raff. I hate all the navel-gazing awards shows though. Aren't their inflated pay-cheques enough?

Some like the Golden Globes for it's relaxed party atmosphere, but who effing cares? What's interesting about the Oscars is observing how a panel of film reviewers across the country decides what film is the best and what isn't - it's basically celluloid politics.

Cameron won his share of Oscars with Titanic, probably a major factor in the academy's decision, especially given the opportunity to give the award to a woman for the first time in 80+ years.

You'd hate Avatar LB...
