Last night’s Oscar’s were scheduled to be three hours long but they felt longer than:
-watching the movie Titanic ….in slow motion
-a game of golf....when you’re caddying.
The House of Commons is back to work today and tomorrow Prime Minister Steve’s government brings down their budget….and they call it “bringing down” the budget instead of “bringing up” the budget because after the budget we find out how they’re wasting our money and we’re the ones usually bringing up.
Last night they handed out the Academy Awards.....
I nooded off so I missed what Cher was wearing
it was a good reason to not have to sit through another episode of Desperate Housewives
I could stay up, watch the whole thing and hopefully will be so tired I won’t even realize it’s Monday before it’s over.
• SATURDAY at the 28th “Golden Raspberry Awards” for the year’s worst films, Lindsay Lohan's “I Know Who Killed Me” had 8 ‘wins’, breaking the previous record of 7 jointly held by “Showgirls” & “Battlefield Earth”. The film was named ‘Worst Movie of the Year’ and Lohan herself won 2 ‘Worst Actress Awards’ & ‘Worst Onscreen Couple’ for playing twins. (She’s excited ... it’s her first-ever acting awards!)

Over the weekend in Cuba the 10th annual Habano Cigar Festival wrapped up….so now all there is left to do is… go have your clothes all drycleaned so you’re not reminded every day for the next year that you attended.
Universal women’s week ….. this is a special week for all women in the galaxy... even the Klingon women.
-National Professional Pet Sitters Week....and you can easily tell a professional pet sitter from a rank amateur.... the non-pro is likely to ask questions like... does the dog go to the bathroom everyday ?
Did you know that Prime Minister Harper was once a boy scout……where he received an honor badge in tying the opposition up in knots.
The Songwriters Association of Canada is proposing that everyone’s internet bill go up by $5 dollars a month and in exchange they can download all the illegal songs they want….and y’know in my business I agree.
As of today just ten months to Christmas …just a payment reminder from Visa.
As of today just ten months to Christmas … it’s safe to say that there isn’t anyone who is done their shopping yet – but Mom saved all those ribbons and bows right.
One of my favorite weeks … This is National Procrastinators Week....so the local chapter meeting might be at 8 tonight – or 8 tomorrow night.
Over the weekend the first Running of the Reindeer happened in Anchorage, Alaska where… like the Running of the Bulls…. Participants ran down Fourth Avenue in Anchorage ahead of a bunch of reindeer……although this wasn’t quite as dangerous as the running of the bulls because the participants in Anchorage… had four layers of clothes on so… it’s not like the reindeer’s antlers could break through that.
