Oscar Babblings

People from India are not Americans, but, I suppose they are natives of some sort.  The question is, is it “proper” to call them “Indians?”  Or will the PC Poo-leece come after me?   (Not that I care but you know…)

My boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel brought up a really good point last night on his Post-Oscar broadcast…they brought those kids that were in Slumdog Millionaire to Hollywood for the ceremony but can you imagine how hard it will be for them to return after that????

I love Hugh Jackman.

I wanted Mickey Rourke to win.

Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Doo Rag should’ve disqualified him for even being nominated. 

Oh and speaking of PSH, I’m not gonna point fingers but did notice on one of our local news channels (:cough: WKRN:cough:) they were running graphics on nominees and they spelled “Seymour” wrong.  Don’t mean to split hairs but if you’re gonna do a job like that, it might behoove one to do the homework?  Or am I just being silly?

I was a bit comforted to see Sean Penn whip out his “cheaters” to read his speech cause anymore, I can’t read nothing without mine.   He’s older than me, yes, but,  it made the whole Cheater thing ok to see Jeff Spicoli needing some help reading.

Sophia Loren and Shirley MacLaine make Senior Citizenry not look all that bad.n  And Meryl Streep too.  Dadgum.

The In Memoriam segment was kinda lame.  It lacked the “awwww” factor because of the way they timed the clips and photos. They should’ve asked me to do the Power Point on that.  Gah.

In Which I Have Nothing Heavy To Say…

If you’re looking for something heavy, you have come to the wrong place.  Random pieces of the day…

That is not me in the chair.  That’s another Sharon.  I actually work with this Sharon (there are three Sharon’s in my office) and it’s not odd to run into a co-worker at the Hairdo Place.  Cheryl does hair for let’s see…probably 10 people in my office.  She oughta just come set up shop at the Heff Dept. once a month or so and she could get a full days work in.

This is what Sharon looked like after….yeah, she’d probably crap her britches if she knew I put her on here.  Don’t tell her, mmmk?  She sure looks purty doesn’t she?

Cheryl is the best hairdo gal around.  Not only does she fix a person’s hair purty, she’s so beautfully, wonderfully twisted. 

Speaking of twisted, I wish I could tell y’all the absolutely funniest funny I made down’t the Beauty Shop today.  Lordy, I about had that room full of women wishing they’da worn their Depends to get their hair did.  Sometimes I amuse myself so.  It was probably one of those GYHTBT moments but dang…I had the henhouse a’cacklin’.

And was it not just the prettiest day ever in Nashville today?  I had to go Downtown this morning on official, State bidness about 9:00 and it was so perfect outside, me and Jan were both wishing we could just skip out of work and go for a walk or something. 

I didn’t do that, but, we did do lunch at Logan’s and sat outside.  Didn’t none of us want to go back.  I didn’t have no ice cream, neither.  We did have incredibly slow service though, which was really ok cause it was nice out. 

Our waitress, cute as a bug, but, overkilt it with the “Baby’s”, “Honey’s”, “Sweetie’s”….it was almost like she was having a contest with herself to see just how many terms of endearment she could regurgitate.  I mean, yeah…I’m sweet as sugah and all that, but, you don’t have to remind me.  I like sweet little terms like that as much as anybody.  I guess Pretty Waitress was just a’tryin’ too hard.

Thank the good Lawd and NBC for airing The Best of Chris Farley tonight…

How much does it suck that Chris isn’t still around?

I attempted to watch No Country For Old Men last night.  I think I made it, maybe 90 seconds.  I saw that guy with the bad haircut who won the Oscar strangle the cute sheriff’s deputy with handcuffs and he was about to knock somebody else off and decided perhaps this was not the movie for me.  Back into the red envelope and skrait into the mailbox that sucker went.  I don’t recall ever doing that with a movie. 

Except that time years ago when the Basketball Coach didn’t want to see Beaches with me and we went to see Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and he didn’t like that either so we went into see Beaches anyway. (I think it was the third time I saw that.)  Heh.  I thought I was really cute “winning” that argument.

Blog Stats and Stuff That Doesn’t Mean A Hill ‘O Beans

How do people get here to  this here website?  It’s doing searches such as thus:

Jew Naked Kid,(I don’t even wanna think about what thats about) lifeguard, Culhanes of Hee Haw, LOTS of Viva Viagra, people interested in Joni Mitchell cause theys lots of searches for “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot”, McDreamy…the searches for “Sister Smiff” make me laugh.  I am “sister” to one…to the rest of you’uns, I am your Sist-UH.  Got it? (Except to my Shishter, of course)

TONS of hits thanks to the phrase “widows peak” and/or Eddie Munster, in fact, my second highest viewed post, according to my WordPress stats,  is the one about my widows peak.  (Is that really THAT interesting that that particular post gets that many views?  Those aren’t that uncommon, are they?? Am I freak?)

People looking for Johnny Cash, Richard Widmark, Jackie Joseph, pregnant men and famous people turning 50 have all dropped by, even if only for a second.

I must say, though, I am quite disturbed about the search for “Crazy Old Grand Mama Sekx.”  Don’t be coming ’round here looking for that sorta thing, now.

I never look in the spam file but I did and good lord….we don’t thank the Good Lord near enough for Akismet. 

I’m Older And Have More Insurance

You can watch Hazel’s show with Larry the Cable Guy Sam Bush today and tomorrow on CMT. I hope they didn’t edit out the line about Larry and the peas. Lordy mercy.

They’re even showing a good movie….Fried Green Tomatoes. Do you know it was years upon years before it dawned on me that the two characters in that movie were more than just best girlfriends? I’m usually pretty quick about stuff like that but not here. Maybe it’s cause I read the book way later. I do love that movie.

Did you know that the girl who played Idgie (Mary Stuart Masterson) in real life, her mama is the lady who played the mama in Sixteen Candles?

Just doing my part to throw you more useless, but interesting, trivia, friends and neighbors.

What Was The Name of the Lone Ranger’s Nephew’s Horse?

I’m amazed at the people who still do not know this wonderful bit of trivia.  Because I am the Queen of Unimportant Facts You Need To Know, it is my Christian duty to let you in on a little secret (unless you already know it)….Ralphie, aka Peter Billingsley, is also in another Christmas movie favorite, however, his role is uncredited.  Once you know this fabulous tidbit, you will look at it and go “Of course it is!”  Give up?

The Head Elf in “Elf” is none other than our own Ralphie.  I think that’s one of my favorite, unimportant facts ever.  That and the fact that Peter is related by marriage to this iconic figure…

And also that Peter’s great-uncle was the proprietor of a little club in New York called the Stork Club.

Just a little useless, mindless, fun facts for you this Christmas Eve.

What Did He Do?

Because it’s too hot to do anything except enjoy the veritable plethora of Elvis specials I have recorded in the last week, I am still celebrating the King.

I have especially been scouring the live performances, mainly trying to figure out which one of the Sweet Inspirations is Cissy Houston. Still not sure.

Yeah, yeah, I live an exciting life, don’t I? BarCamp, schmarcamp. Or is it Band Camp? I think I’m the only person alive who hasn’t seen “American Pie” and know the reference. I’m also one of the few who STILL doesn’t know what they do at BarCamp.  I have been to band camp for real ‘do. Shut up. When that movie came out, I was knee-deep in the Disney Collection with my Teens, who were then wee ones.

Anyway, I was on the phone with the Mista (who is way up in the top of Michigan and says it’s near ’bout chilly!) and thinking out loud, I said “Just who IS C.C. Rider and what did he/she need to see what they had done? I mean, it musta been something fierce for the King of Rock and Roll to make his signature opening number be about this Rider person.

Oddly enough, I’ve never pondered the lyrics to “CC Rider.” That’s one of those songs that you hear and just don’t pay any attention to other than the beat and it’s ease to dance to.

So, I look up CC Rider and I don’t find any clear cut answers as to what it means, exactly. Some say it’s a blues term for a sexual padnah and where the term “Easy Rider” originates. Others say it’s a term for hobos and some say it stands for Costum Cycle Rider.

Leave it to your Sista to uncover important things like this.

Something You May Not Know About Me

What do I have in common with this guy?Besides being extremely cute and charming (insert sarcasm) I have something else in common with Eddie Munster. 

Give up?

Does this make me part Munster?
