I've got a quiz in Hebrew tomorrow, too, plus NT plus Liturgics. So can we study while the TV is on, tuned in to the awards show? dang...I thought not. I vote for Little Miss Sunshine for Best Picture, because I always vote for heart-warming indie films (even ones that use the F word liberally), and I vote for Helen Mirren for Best Actress, because she is the goddess of all of us mid-life women. If she doesn't win, I want Judi Dench to win, for the same reason. I vote for Forrest Whittaker for Best Actor, because he has such incredible range, I vote for Jennifer Hudson for Best Supporting Actress because the girl can SING, I vote for Alan Arkin for Best Supporting Actor because I've loved his work for a zillion years and his character in Little Miss Sunshine was the fulcrum of the piece. Director? Scorsese, even though The Departed isn't his best work, but he's way overdue. Goes without saying I'll fall asleep before anything actually gets awarded... RM, you're doing a "Life is Short?" I love those! You're the only person I know who could be succinct enough to be artful about it. When will it be in WaPo? (Fear not about the photo. You, with your gorgeous eyes, will look faaaabulous in the little picture.) How many folks were there for your arts thing this morning? I did a presentation on Qatar and got two dozen, and was grateful for that... Towanda, I’m with you. I’ve got a quiz in Hebrew tomorrow, too, plus NT plus Liturgics.

Can you believe that I saw all of the Live Action and Animated shorts last night at my favorite downtown theater with the rest of the movie geeks? Yes, it's true... "West Bank Story" (a take-off of West Side Story with Palestinian/Iraeli "gangs") and "The Danish Poet" were my favorites so we'll see if they win Best Live Action Short and Best Animated Short respectively. All in all, there are some really creative people out there worldwide...watch out Pixar! I’m off to the movies!
