About time!!!

Ok, ok, maybe its been a million years since my last post, so sue me. I've had plenty of good intentions to update and post, but we all know that good intentions are like warnings on tv that the following content may be objectionable and/or graphic... basically useless. Speaking of those warnings, has anyone ever known anyone else to actually heed those warnings and say "oh, I don't want to be offended, quick turn the channel". Maybe when someone is eating and the show is going to show uncensored footage of surgery, but even then, most will wait until they get a quick glance of the open chest cavity before they turn it. Oh well, so is human nature.

I was listening to the news today (radio and tv) and they had to announce the Oscar nominations. Of course I listened, since I'm sure it'll be the big talk for a day or two. But then I started wondering, why are the Oscars so important? Without getting too deep, why does society put so much weight on the opinions of those few people (actually I don't know how many there are) that make the decisions. Every year people debate why one film got picked and why another didn't. In the end, does a movie winning "Best whatever" honors make the movie better for the particular viewer? Probably not, but I guess sometimes people see a movie they wouldn't have based on the nominations or wins. After seeing the nominations every year, I think one would be better served just going on the recommendations of friends and family.

Quick article on how microwaving your kitchen sponge will kill the germs. I need to try it out and see if it kills the smell too.

Speaking of smell, do you know anyone that could use a pair of these? I'm sure I know some people that would buy me a pair if I would wear them.
