Oscar

Last night I watched the Oscar's. I watch every year and pride myself on the fact that I have usually seen 90% of the movies that have been nominated. I was VERY please to see Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova win for original song. They both gave very lovely speeches about not giving up, keep making art, don't get discouraged and good stuff like that. I was very inspired. I get very excited about the Oscar's. I, like everyone else, like to see what everyone is wearing and make catty comments, but I also get  caught up in genuine thrill of winning exhibited. I was happy to see Diablo Cody win for original screenplay for Juno... being the once stripper, independent writer and all that. :-) Nice to see the Academy reach a little farther this year and recognize some not so main stream work. And of course I was thrilled to see the Coen Brothers take home 3 statues. 

Today I got up ready to work in the studio. I then spent the next three hours trying to find a camera that would work. One was just broken, one did not have the right sync terminal, and the digital just won't take a clear picture. So I made some phone calls and surfed photo sites looking for a hot shoe slave and think I have found what I need, but I'm not sure. It's all very frustrating. 

So now I'm just going to sew a patch on a pair of jeans and call it a day. I think I'll use too kinds of fabric just to make it more fun.
