ok. so i actually watched the oscars. the whole dang show. we printed out our ballots and SteveO and I made our totally scientific uneducated guesses. Since I had seen 3 of the oscar movies on the list, I was ahead of the class. So making my totally random multiple choice questions, I felt a deja vu back to college, during some thermodynamics exam that I hadn't managed to study for. needless to say, i failed this one too. but since at the end of the night I got a 12 out of 24. I got an C! Steve got a 10 out of 24 and lost. He claims that he really won b/c he got ALL the actors correct. I won on cheesy things like the Documentary/Screenplay, costume design and cinematography catergories to bring in my major points. but hey, a win is a win and I won! One thing I did notice was that Marky Mark is H-O-T. i mean, i have always liked him, but last night he looked HOT. as i was telling EROTP this morning. he is hot. much hotter than that leo decapitated ever was. if meryl streep won for "devil wears prada" that would have been ridiculous. after watching the movie friday night, i can't even believe that she was nominated. i mean i liked the movie, but an oscar nomination? get real. and i couldn't help but stare intently at beyonce waiting to see the one moment when she shows how pissed she was at jennifer hudson. but i didnt see it. and jessica biels looked old and matronly. i wonder if her stylist is secretly working for cameron diaz(who looked great). and like every year, i wonder, where the hell was winona ryder? anyway, before the show started, i decided that if i was playing by the rules, i would have been at beaner's oscar party in DC, but the snowy ice kept me home. and since i would have been at a party stuffing my face with party food, it felt right to make some brownies. so i decided to make these NO PUDGE fat free brownies. eew. in my new tupperware pan in the microwave. are you seeing all the words here? microwaved fat free brownies? EEW. and that they were. i ended up cutting them into pieces and just chewing the chunks until they molded into a hard ball and spit them out. like a cow and its cud. totally gross, but i felt the need to confess. inches of snow that fell on my yard: 6, minutes spent shoveling: 0.
