| | What a brilliant movie. Apparently it was Tom Hanks day on
TV. This was on ABC, and Forrest Gump was on TNT. And Big
was probably on Disney or something.
Well, I've been sickly for the last week. Not too bad, but enough
to "put me on the bench." I got some pills from the UTD doc on
Thursday and have been doing pretty much nothing for the last two
days. It's been nice, but I'm starting to get a little restless...
I can't remember if I've commented about who they chose to be the host
of the Oscars next month: Jon Stewart. I'm really psyched;
he's a funny guy. I remember seeing him on Larry King several
months ago, and Stewart made him almost fall out of his chair
laughing. You could hear the camera guys and directors in the
background belting out laughter. And what he said to the guys on
Crossfire went right up my alley, about how angry people yelling at
each other accomplishes little and only deepens the rift between the
left and right extremes of the political spectrum. But as I say
this, watching the Daily Show is a guilty pleasure; realistically, it
probably does the same thing, just in a different way. Still, Jon
(I'm on a first-name basis) seems much more level-headed than the
Michael Moores and the Rush Limbaughs of the world.
But I digress.
Back to the Oscars...they announce the nominations for this year on
Tuesday. (I read somewhere that among considerations for Best
Actor is King Kong. And no, I'm not joking.) Me being the
movie buff that I am, this whole thing always has me intrigued. I
still think movies are better than books. Feel free to disagree
with me there.
Trivia Question: What is the hometown of the great Jimi Hendrix. (Bryan, you're not allowed to answer.)
Later ya'll.
