Oscars

So, I heard Jon Stewart sucked. I heard the whole thing was bland and boring and all the wrong movies won. Is this true? I couldn't be bothered to watch it myself, only tuning in for Charleeze Theron's extra-dress-on-her-shoulder and lots of plush penguins. Honestly, that and Dustin Hoffman's stoned performance are all I saw. That and Mr. Stewart looking like he was thinking "Is it over yet?" with his Desperate Housewives crack.

A sports commentator made the suggestion, and I like it, that instead of traditional oscars we change the selection process to a playoff format. I like the idea. They can be seeded by nominating vote strength. You can do an award show every few days that only takes an hour and drag it out for 3 or 4 weeks! And it'd still be more interesting!

Mmmm, wood hammering. . .sorry, what? No, I'll call you odd, but not for that. Also, don't get the wrong idea, it's not like I went to Home Depot and bought wood and made the bed from that, I bought a frame at Ikea and am putting it together. But guys always like knowing that girls can do stuff like that, unless they're the kind of guys who would be threatened by that.

You know, after I typed the bit about screws, nails and wood hammering I thought someone would take it the dirty way, I just thought it'd be [livejournal.com profile] head58.

I did the making a bed from scratch thing when I was a kid. That's how I learned woodworking. Putting it together from a kit is good too and I've never been the type to be threatened by a woman's competance. That's usually what I look for, not what I run away from.

Well, I got to it first.

I wouldn't expect you to be frightened by a woman's competence, just commenting that it's something I can see some guys being freaked by. Most guys like it, I think. Something about a woman with a tool belt.

Yeah, woman + tool belt=hott. Oh yeah.

Indeed you did. : -)

Yeah, that's one reason I like Trading Spaces.

Aw man, do NOT get me started on Amy Wynn Pastor!

Why not? She's hot! Her and Genevive are the only reasons to watch the show!

Perhaps I shold have added to the end of my comment "...or I'll have to spend the rest of the afternoon in my bunk."

Ah, NOW I understand. I shall cease leading you astray.

I was so totally thinking of Amy Wynn when I was making that point!

And why wouldn't you? She's hot! I love when she's teaching people to use the tools and has this very amused look on her face when they get it right.
