The Oscars

And the Oscar goes to... How about being completely LAME??

Yesterday was the Oscars. And, as in every year, I had my list of possible winners (only this time, I was ACTUALLY in a raffle for a trip to Vegas). And everything was going okay... 'till stinking Sandra Bullok won for best Actress....

WTF. I mean it. W - T - F. I mean, I know she's funny and I like her. I saw The Bling Side. I liked it. But --- to say she had the rol of her life for dying her hair blonde and having a much-to-be-desired accent is just... out of line here. It's LAME, that's what this is. LAME.

I would much rather have Meryl won for Julie and Julia or how about the girl from Precious? Both of them deserved it much better than Sandra, I'm sorry.

I was sort of dissapointed too to see that Quentin Tarantino did not get best Original Screenplay for "Inglorious Bastards". I was sort of hoping that this screenplay alone would win. One of Quentin...

I knew Avatar was not going to win because, let's face it, any time any movie goes against a movie that taks about the war or political views that are in heat at the moment is a losing cause. The Hurt Locker was just that. Not a great movie, if you ask me -- I think Precious or Inglorious Bastards, both much more powerful that this piece of cinematic crap; Avatar was pretty, but very  VERY predictable, so it had no chance of winning. But, then again, it was a piece of cinematic crap that talked about the war in Iraq, so who am I to go against people who play their political agenda first? Mo'nique was right when she said that she was thankful that she won the award and that it was for the artistic merit instead of the political agenda. Sorry Mo'nique, but politics are still running the Hollywood show.

Oprah: you're mean! This girl, Sibide, did a great job at Precious, but -- com'on. Let's face it. Unless Hollywood changes their PoV about what beauty is, she ain't getting any more rols unless she's about 150 pounds lighter AT LEAST. Don't have anything vs chunky people I am quite chunky myself, but I ain't doing no movies and I ain't parading myself for it either. This girl might be a great actress but unless she loses some serious weigh she ain't getting nothing for the Hollywood glam-slam monster. So Oprah, shame on thee!!

Then again, Oprah is God.

It's summertime, ladies and gentlemen

I am finally done with lists. Now, all I have to do is make sure that we have deposited the money for the TKT exams and I AM DONE!! ^_____^

This weekend was extra fun! It all started with me and my friends going to see the Harry Potter 6 movie premiere. I was the only one (THE ONLY ONE!!) wearing my witchy hat. WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!! IT'S THE HARRY POTTER PREMIERE!!! You should be wearing your witchy hats!! GAWDS!!! Anyho, the movie ROCKED and we had a blast, even though the movie theatre was so packed that we had to sit on the stairs, hence blocking the emergency exit hahahahahaha!!! But the movie was great. I loved when Adi (my friend's Suky sister) was so spooked with Aragog's dead corpse. That was funny! ^__^

Then, the next day, me and my sister and her hubby went to check out the movie. This has a story behind it. Turns out that in the original plan, it was to be me and the sis going to the premiere. But the hubby (tag along as he is) decided that he wanted to go. But not to the premiere... 'cause he works. So screw the two mega fans who wanted to go to premiere, right? He said "we're going on Friday". Well, the tickets were SOLD out for the IMAX showing on Friday. We ended-up going to the VIP movie section (poor us, right?!). Sis and me were, ga-ga gooing over Mr. Snape. And then there was the annoying as HELL American bastard sitting next to me. It came to a point where I turned to him and said "If you don't shut the fuck up, I SWEAR I'll go all SLYTHERIN on your ASS!!" (exact quote and words)

Saturday came and I wanted to go to Starbucks. It had been a while since I've gone, so I packed-up mah laptop to download stuff while I was there and went. Holy crap! Sure glad I did! They had their 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY party going on!!!! ^_____^ And you know what that means: FREEBIES!!! I got to taste their new stuff -- FOR FREE! There was cool music, and me and this cool guy started talking and talked for over three hours! His name is Eric. HI ERIC!!!!

Bad news: I lost my cellphone. LG. Black. No camera, no microphone, no bluetooth, no mp3player, no video... just a plain old phone. It was more the sentimental value of this phone than anything else... if you see it, tell it I miss it.

Sunday: Me and the niece went to see Cinderella at the local theathre. It was HILARIOUSLY funny!!!! We had a very good time while watching it. And it almost turned in to a riot too, for there were a lot of people outside and they let us wait to get in for about two hours! Good thing that we were inside the premises and not out, like, in the sun out? Or else it would me L.A. 90's riots all over, with Cinderella and Snow White kids flying through the air.

....... o though, that would have been quite the show, mind you.

Mexico won 4-0 at soccer. It was held at the NEW Texas Stadium... against who? Well, as my father so blissfully pointed out, "Who cares? The important thing is that they won, who cares who the rival was!!!" (Haiti).

Listening to "Take 5"

And my skeleton rattles...

I presented my work at the MA yesterday. It's funny how once you start talking about religion in a political/social standard, then all of a sudden you're a liar and you'd better get your facts straight, right? This girl who is a hard-core Catholic at the class started bashing the presentation because she said I had no reliable sources. I am sorry, girly, but the book research list was there, you can go and check them out. I am as much an admirer of Mendez Arceo as the next guy, but just because I said he was accused of being a communist and a feminist in Mexico during the 1960's and 1970's is not trashing the guy nor the religion.

(*sigh*)

I had breakfast with Eidrien today. It was good to see he was doing okay.

WOOOOHOOOO!!! I AM ON SPRING BREAK!!! SWEET SWEET DEAL!!! I plan to sleep late late late, wake up late late late and do ABSOLUTELY nothing for the next 3 days (because I know myself and I'll go coo-coo bananas after that time -- we get two weeks off from school here). Nevertheless, I can always count on my dear mother to set me up with useless appointments that I have no intention on keeping. Thanks Mom!!

I have started with my right foot into this life of potato-couchyness-root-growing extravaganza. I have seen the ENTIRE sex and the city Season 4 chapters (that was yesterday) and the SiM movie... and rented Harry Potter 5, Arrancame la Vida, and two of those japanese horror movies for tonight. Sheah baby!



This panda has found this song and video. Com'on... Chris Cornell has a SEXY voice...
