I found this Website that has last night's complete winner speeches in print format. They're almost correct (Melissa Leo's F-bomb says EXPLETIVE).Hope you find it interesting - I did.
BEHR HUGS
I found this Website that has last night's complete winner speeches in print format. They're almost correct (Melissa Leo's F-bomb says EXPLETIVE).
YES! Colin Firth won the Academy Award for his eloquent performance in The King's Speech.
Tonight the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences present their annual awards. I'm not going to make any predictions but I will say my fingers are crossed for Colin Firth.
If you're a fan of Survivor you're undoubtedly watching Survivor: Redemption Island, the 22nd season of this, the granddaddy of all reality shows.
He hails from Texas...ya know, where they grow 'em bigger. *wink* Love me some woofy Latino bear meat.
I didn't do a lot this weekend. I did laundry and watched a lot of DVDs. Yesterday was the first day I felt like doing anything as the head pain finally subsided. As it was, I had to go get litter for Winston; I'd used the last little bit when I changed his box on Sunday. He was a little annoyed at how little litter there was in his box. Wow...how alliterative was that? I went to the market for bread and a few other items; strawberries were on sale. They are really ripe and delicious. I also took a nice nap in the afternoon. In case you're wondering, I had the day off for President's Day. Thanks George and Abe.
I'm feeling slightly better today. I still have the headache but it's not as severe. Last night I went to the theater to usher then left without seeing the show. I'll catch it another weekend, if possible.
I'm home safe. Wish it was sound. I'm not feeling well...mostly a headache. It might be a cold. I have to go into work for a meeting and I'm supposed to usher at the theater tonight. So in between I plan to just take it easy and not do a lot. Thankfully it's a long weekend (Monday off for President's Day) and I hope to recoup.
One of the good things about business trips is the opportunity to try new restaurants or dining establishments that are local to the area in which you are visiting. Last night I had dinner at Bare Back Grill. Yeah I thought the same thing. It's tagged as "New Zealand Burgers & Sammies." This was one of THE best dining experiences I've had while on a business trip (barring trips to SF, of course).
I'm back in La Jolla, which is near San Diego. Again, for work. I'm staying at a different place because last week's place didn't have available rooms. I'm further south - much further - but still less than 5 miles from the work location. Or so according to Google maps.
A friend of mine texted me late yesterday afternoon and convinced me to have dinner with him. We went to a nice little Italian place. They had a prix fixe menu which we weren't too ecstatic about but indulged anyway. For a starter we had steamed mussels and clams; then we shared a house salad and bowl of mushroom soup. He had the petite filet mignon and I had lasagna that was doused in alfredo sauce. It was quite scrumptious. We topped it off with tiramisu for dessert. Oh and we had a lovely pinot noir from the Sonoma region of California.
I feel like an idiot. I am an idiot. At yesterday's discussion group I found out by someone who doesn't keep his mouth shut that SD was flirting with everyone at his birthday party a couple weeks ago. Evidently, P and SD were dating; and they've now "broken up" and yet still remain friends and just hang together (as evidenced by their trip to a bear Super Bowl event last Sunday). And Mr. Can't Keep His Mouth Shut thinks P is angry at him for being "touchy-feely" with SD. So for those of you who gave me a dose of reality in your comments - thank you. I will endeavor to learn to listen to you. You were right: what 27 year old in his right mind would want me?
So this past week when I was in La Jolla, which is near San Diego, I thought about a certain someone because he lives there. I thought about how - if I weren't so damned stubborn and sensitive - I maybe could have called and crashed at his place rather than paying for a hotel and thus saving the company more money. I thought about driving by his place just to see if he still has his ridiculous vehicle. He had bought a particular trendy vehicle and it totally looked like a lesbian car. Just sayin'.
I'm home!
Today is my last day in La Jolla.
I'm in La Jolla today - that's near San Diego. I wish it were for pleasure but it's for work. I'm here today and tomorrow then I drive back the 100 miles tomorrow after noon in the rush hour traffic to be able to go back to Los Angeles on Friday morning. 
In reflecting on this past week, it wasn't so bad. That doesn't diminish my happiness to be alive on this Friday morning. Although I would have like to have slept a bit more.
As you may remember, I blogged the other day about part of my Saturday. If you need a refresher, the post was titled Behr Pick: Windows. Here's the part I didn't share.
