But yeah, the attitude of the people who run the place, and think they do kinda sucks.

Are they the kind of people who send me 3 e-mails within the span of 20 minutes asking when something will be completed? Because I've got 50+ of them all doing that to me right now.

I was pretty mellow when I got to work this morning, even though it was cold and snowing heavily. Stupid Dallas.

Well, the Oscar blitz should be fun this year. I'm actually excited about seeing a number of these.

I'm very happy that The Diving Bell and the Butterfly got a nomination after all, since I saw it this weekend and thought it was amazing.

And how could Persepolis not be nominated for best foreign-language film?

And no one noticed, until I got curious about something.

I do this all the time as a QA. Sometimes I think it would be better to pretend I didn't see it and let it be found out in the course of events (especially if it's something I got detoured by rather than what I was working on) but I just can't let things go.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I went to a place that had turkey loaf and two sides. I ordered it, and the lady gave me two giant slabs of turkey. I could barely eat half of it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I got sushi. And ginger snaps. And OKAY, FINE, a couple of Reese's peanut butter eggs.

I liked it a lot, but I had the most vicseral reaction to the eyelid sewing that I've ever had to any image in a film. I almost ran out of the theatre.

And how could Persepolis not be nominated for best foreign-language film?

Because they slotted it in as a animated film?

For lunch I had my own spicy lentil soup, which wasn't nearly spicy enough. Bah.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I had a can of Chicken Noodle-O's.

Yay, "Falling Slowly" from Once was nominated.

I'm thrilled about this, but also confused because I was sure that being on "The Swell Season" would disqualify it.

I think that Glen Hansard wrote some songs specifically for the film, but when it was delayed, he put them on the album, which was released before the movie came out. But, since it was written for the movie first, it was eligible.
