I am back and sort of watching the Oscars. It is full of mildly amusing shadow dancers and montages on highly specific themes like "America." Since I think I only saw three of the movies nominated for anything, I am not caring much this year. Though I did think that Forrest Whittaker was great as Idi Amin. Oh, hey, he got it. Yay! And hey, telophase, he's from East Texas!

Also, Philip Seymour Hoffman has the worst hair I have ever seen on anyone.

I managed to smuggle a bag of pork floss and a bag of squid jerky past four customs officials and an official customs beagle whose handler parked it by my baggage carrousel to try to prevent people from bringing Taiwanese food into America. I can't say that I blame them. (The food smugglers, I mean, not the customs beagles.)

I got further into Niccolo Rising on the plane. Still not confused! Much. I now have a sneaking suspicion that I have, in fact, already met Niccolo. If so, I like him.

Oscars! I have totally forgotten about them and probably didn't Tivo any of it for when I get home!

Niccolo is amazingly nice, and I like him a lot too.

I even like him when I have an overpowering urge to throttle him!

When I smuggled in ham, I craftily packed a half-eaten hammy lunch on top of the bag the ham was in. Thus intending to produce decoy material when the beagles sniffed it out. The flight, alas, did not get sniffed, and all I had for my pains was a kind of hammy bag, half a sannie, and a ham.

I could hear Peter O'Toole's heart crack all the way from LA. I actually yelled at the TV, then felt bad because Forrest Whittaker did deserve the award.

Still nine nominations and no award...ouch.
