Sucked in by the TV

Well, I could watch The Oscars, but I don't really care for them. They're usually overly long, half the outfits are horrid (I keep wondering how peope get convinced to wear some of that stuff - oh wait, it mightgt be free) and I haven't seen any of the movies. I was going to see Cloverfield but reality intruded so I'll catch it on DVD as it's out of my local theaters, alas. So, think that fairy tale movie with Patrick Dempsey was the last one I saw... so instead of the Oscars, I watched the tail end of The Iron Giant (good animated flick) and part of an infomercial for TimeLife records for "Flower Power," music of the 60s/70s, which i've always loved. Hmm, if the checkbook can rebound from the vet... it's very tempting. I also caught, on the Food Channel, a half-hour show on diners that serve up homecooked breakfasts (well, the delicious and fattening kind). They showed cinammon bun french toast which looked like it could kill you from sugar shock, something called 'slop', an omelot made from wahtever is on hand and it's a HUGE dish and the one guy who ordered it (a big guy) said no, he couldn't even eat it all.

We got snow. About a foot, which started off as light and fluffy, then went to sleet, then it got warmer so now the snow is heavier, shorter, and you crunch through the top layer. Not hard enough to keep the dog from sinking through (one year it hardened so much he was skittering along and not sinking, and hey, even I could walk on top of it).  But it's just not natural to see chipmunks running around the snow. They're suposed to be in hibernation.

I have had a brain-frying, tv watching weekend. We watched Fantastic 4, Rise of the Silver Surfer, Shrek the Third, Transformers movie, The Wild, Atlantis Kindred 1, Torchwood, 5 Sarah Connor Chronicles, Knight Rider Movie, and various DIY shows about bathroom remodeling and Cool Tools. You would think my brains would fall out of my head.

Actually though, I needed this. It was great to turn the brain off and just veg on the couch.

We had ice and snow on Friday. Enough to cause my work to not open and that rarely happens. We are a Daycare and for some reason, my boss feels that we should ALWAYS be open. She couldn't make it in at 6:30 am so we all got the day off. Be careful out there tomorrow.

Oh, I also saw GHOST RIDER too, which wasn't bad but probably not worth paying to see in the theater. And lord knows how many LAW & ORDERs I saw this weekend as they were marathoning 'em like crazy ;)

We had ice and snow too, but we had to go to work, and got let out half a day once the ice started. Sigh.
