  Hi RF,
  
  Pull up a chair and help me find the mis-printed copies of my last magazine. So far only five duds have been reported out of the 850 or so we sent out. I’m checking the remaining 450 copies. What fun!
keres on February 25, 2007 at 6:42 pm

Who is going to keep the un-televisioned (me) informed?
- refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 6:44 pm
  
  LOL If I watch I will. LOL

    Whose boob will flop out of her gown first? And who will use the time to say something about Bush and Iraq?
    - Family Man on February 25, 2007 at 6:49 pm
      
      Hi SN
      
      There may be multiple flops tonight. They’ve got to do something to keep it exciting.
      
      How’s your day gone?
    - KNUCKLEHEAD on February 25, 2007 at 6:50 pm
      
      Let`s hope it`s a really really big boob, then.

        Sometimess I really wish I had a DVR.
      - Second Nature on February 25, 2007 at 6:53 pm
        
        Well, Anna Nicole is dead, but they haven’t buried the poor girl yet so I guess it’s still possible that someone will bring her.
      - KNUCKLEHEAD on February 25, 2007 at 7:59 pm
        
        I was using the big boob in regard to if anyone would talk about Bush.
        Any other thought on my comment was not intended in any way.
      - NorthDakotaDemocrat on February 25, 2007 at 9:24 pm
        
        Quite often my thoughts are unintended.
        
        Any thoughts I may have had which were intended on KH’s referenced previous comment, are forthwith relegated to the unintended category after this latter comment of KH’s.
      - KNUCKLEHEAD on February 25, 2007 at 11:27 pm
        
        I was talking about my thoughts. Can`t one get any privacy anymore?

Family Man on February 25, 2007 at 6:47 pm

Hi Refinish and keres.

RF the header looks perfect and a great graphic.

keres I don’t watch the Oscars, so RF will have to keep you up on it.
- Second Nature on February 25, 2007 at 6:48 pm
  
  There might be boobage.
  - Family Man on February 25, 2007 at 6:50 pm
    
    Which I would be able to see on YouTube later and even stop motion. 😉
    - Second Nature on February 25, 2007 at 6:54 pm
      
      That passes for adult entertainment in your neck of the woods, doesn’t it?
      - Family Man on February 25, 2007 at 6:57 pm
        
        Yep. How did you know? 😛
  - Real History Lisa on February 25, 2007 at 7:30 pm
    
    How can there be? Bush, Cheney, and Rove are not invited!
- refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 7:27 pm
  
  Thank you!!!!
Miss Devore on February 25, 2007 at 6:51 pm

baseball fans might want to czech out “Bullpen” on my non-amnestied blogroll at Je Blague.
- Family Man on February 25, 2007 at 6:55 pm
  
  Wish I could help, but I wait for them to come out on TV.
- KNUCKLEHEAD on February 25, 2007 at 8:03 pm
  
  You are joking, right?
mythmother on February 25, 2007 at 6:54 pm

Something from the Santa Clarita Farmer’s Market. Is anyone watching the Oscars? Let me know how it turns out. LOL!
- Family Man on February 25, 2007 at 6:56 pm
  
  Hi MM
  
  That is beautiful. I’ll wait until tomorrow to find out how it turned out.
  - mythmother on February 25, 2007 at 7:33 pm
    
    Moi aussi!
- CabinGirl on February 25, 2007 at 6:59 pm
  
  Absolutely gorgeous, mythmother!
  - mythmother on February 25, 2007 at 7:35 pm
    
    Thanks CG! Looking forward to more images from you! Really loved the interplay of light and shadow and composition of the ones you posted yesterday… 🙂 Off to watch Marie Antoinette, I just bought it. Love those costume dramas, you know, the one where people write with feathers.
- refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 7:34 pm
  
  stunning as always mythmother.
  - mythmother on February 25, 2007 at 7:35 pm

      - refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 8:40 pm
        
        NO!!!

        My initials don’t stand for Royal Air Force.
- Real History Lisa on February 25, 2007 at 7:38 pm
  
  Wow! Another stunner!! I imagine you must have the most gorgeous house, filled with huge pictures..!
refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 7:12 pm

The surge protector I use for the tv stuff died and I was searching for another one I have in the house. I just got the cable box reset and got the tv back on. The surge protector that died was only 15 years old so I guess I shouldn’t complain. LOL
- Family Man on February 25, 2007 at 7:17 pm
  
  Geeze RF you need to take care of your stuff. 🙂
  - refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 7:22 pm
    
    LOL I do but anything gives out eventually.
    - Family Man on February 25, 2007 at 7:26 pm
      
      Yep unfortunately that’s true.
refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 7:29 pm

refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 8:42 pm

Al Gore is here and America did Vote for him!!!!! Go Ellen
refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 8:44 pm

OMG!!! If there were no Blacks, jews or gays there would be no oscars!!!! She rocks!!!!
refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 8:46 pm

nicole kidman has a growth on her shoulder. LOL what an ugly red gown.
- CabinGirl on February 25, 2007 at 8:52 pm
  
  Now I actually have to go look at the tee-vee…
  - refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 8:52 pm
    
    LOL
- KNUCKLEHEAD on February 25, 2007 at 11:30 pm
  
  That`s a good one. I told my wife that Ms Kidman`s hat seemed to have fallen off.
  Nice set-up on this diary. Thanks.

    Thank you!!!!

Pan’s labernyth
Cali Scribe on February 25, 2007 at 8:53 pm

takes the first award for Art Direction — so who will be the first right-wing talking head to complain about Mexicans stealing American jobs? lol

Some decent lines from Ellen DeGeneres in the opening monologue: “We have Jennifer Hudson who was on American Idol, and she didn’t win but she’s here with an Academy Award nomination. And we have Al Gore, who America did vote for, and…”

So glad they’re not tape-delaying this on the Left Coast — I can actually get to bed at a decent hour…
refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:01 pm

wins best makeup also
- refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:01 pm
  
  Pan’s LOL
Cali Scribe on February 25, 2007 at 9:02 pm

If the Dixie Chicks winning at the Grammys was directed at the right-wingers slam of them, will Pan’s Labryinth’s wins be seen as directed at the xenophobes in this country?

Dang, Abigail Breslin is a cutie — if she doesn’t get spoiled, she’s going to be a heartbreaker in about 10 years…
- refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:03 pm
  
  LOL as will jayden
  - Cali Scribe on February 25, 2007 at 9:08 pm
    
    spoiling that kid too much — one benefit of having famous parents is they know all the pitfalls too well…
- Cali Scribe on February 25, 2007 at 9:05 pm
  
  “You’d think they’d let us do one short joke.”
  “Please — we’re too sophisticated…”
  
  And Jaden playing with the second envelope during the acceptance speech for the first award…that was great… 🙂
  - refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:06 pm
    
    He is a cute kid!! Did you see him on the red carpet with his Rubic’s cube?
    - Cali Scribe on February 25, 2007 at 9:09 pm
      
      spouse and I had to duck out and grab dinner.
      
      Are we the only two in the Pond watching this??? lol
      - refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:10 pm
        
        LOL I bet we are or the others are at Oscar parties and we are the ones not at a party. LOL
      - CabinGirl on February 25, 2007 at 9:15 pm
        
        I’m here (going back and forth from ‘puter to tee-vee.)
        
        Jaden is too cute!
      - refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:16 pm
        
        LOL You wanted to see that ugly red gown LOL
      - Cali Scribe on February 25, 2007 at 9:17 pm
        
        are when the laptop comes in really handy… 🙂
refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:15 pm

Sound editing is like sex. Done alone, late at night and with electronic gadgets. Best if you spend top dollar for a professional. LOL
Cali Scribe on February 25, 2007 at 9:16 pm

the sound effects choir — odd, but interesting…
- refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:17 pm
  
  I liked it. Very unusual.
- Real History Lisa on February 25, 2007 at 9:35 pm
  
  Was that their name? Elements and Motion? Very cool indeed.
refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:20 pm

YEE HAW!!!!!!!! Nice to see a musical again.
refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:21 pm

Rachel has a stunning gold gown. That is the way a star should dress.
- Cali Scribe on February 25, 2007 at 9:30 pm
  
  in the pale green — caught that just after we got home, tail end of the pre-show. Very nice… 🙂
  
  31 years old and already 5 nominations (youngest person with 5) — that’s impressive.
  
  Nicholson’s shaved his head — either it’s for a role or in tribute to Britney… lol
  - refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:32 pm
    
    LOL She did look great!!!! Nicholson finally accepted he didn’t have enough for a comb over anymore. LOL

  Most folks thought that Eddie Murphy might take it for “Dreamgirls”…
  - refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:28 pm
    
    I didn’t. Eddie has done so many mediocre acting jobs that I think some thought this was a fluke. LOL
    - Cali Scribe on February 25, 2007 at 9:32 pm
      
      BEFORE “Norbit” was released… lol
      - refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:33 pm
        
        ROTFLMAO!!!!!!! I still want to see Norbit, but think I will wait for it to be on tv.
Cali Scribe on February 25, 2007 at 9:33 pm

You go girl!!!
- refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:35 pm
  
  Damn why did I type sarah. I knew it was melissa
- Cali Scribe on February 25, 2007 at 9:35 pm
  
  that they’re running what played during her song at the end of “An Inconvenient Truth”…
  - refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:35 pm
    
    I love the slide show. I wish they would show all of it.
refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:34 pm

Sarah is a fabulous singer!!!!
- refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:40 pm
  
  I guess I love them both so much and they both stand up for Equal Rights For All People.
Cali Scribe on February 25, 2007 at 9:36 pm

Talk about rock stars…
- refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:38 pm
  
  LOL Leo is trying to get him to announce he is running…
  ROTFLMAO!!!! I love Al..
  - BooMan on February 25, 2007 at 9:39 pm
    
    Can we put gore to rest now?
    - refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:40 pm
      
      AMEN!!!!!
    - Real History Lisa on February 25, 2007 at 11:03 pm
      
      No – did you see how reluctant he was to pass up the opportunity?
- Cali Scribe on February 25, 2007 at 9:39 pm
  
  That was absolutely great…
Real History Lisa on February 25, 2007 at 9:40 pm

Did you see how he was overwhelmed? He soooo wants to run!!!
- refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:41 pm
  
  NO he doesn’t.
  - Cali Scribe on February 25, 2007 at 9:46 pm
    
    either into or out of running — not sure which one…
    
    Wow, “Happy Feet” won…Steve Jobs is going to be in a pissy mood tomorrow…wait, he’s in one every day anyway…
    - refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:46 pm
      
      He has said no at least 17 times. That should be enough for everyone.
      - Cali Scribe on February 25, 2007 at 9:50 pm
        
        to change his mind at least once daily — seems to work for the average Republican… 😉
      - Real History Lisa on February 25, 2007 at 11:07 pm
        
        You didn’t see the fire in his eyes when he said he wished he was President. I did, up close, personal, and recently.
refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 9:43 pm

Okay.. who dunk Cameron Diaz head in the ink pot?

Isis on February 25, 2007 at 10:55 pm

Did anyone notice that the Cheney administration in in full-throttle attack on the media to again whitewash the American public that Iran is worthy of our bombing?

Notice signs for WWIII anyone????

Fuck the movies! What’s wrong with you people?????
- refinish69 on February 25, 2007 at 10:59 pm
  
  Don’t be a jerk. We all are working to end the war but we have to have our moments of rest and enjoyment also.
- Poeschek on February 25, 2007 at 11:38 pm
  
  I take it you never have fun, you spend every waking hour devoted to stopping the Bush administration?
  
  The Oscars aren’t really my thing (my wife has it on while I surf the net) but if someone enjoys watching the Oscars, who are you tell them otherwise?
- cruz del sur on February 26, 2007 at 12:25 am
  
  How about “sharing delight”?
