You know, I don't really need a clusterfuck at work happening at 4:30 on a friday when just about everyone is out.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Just popping by to say that the Oscars are doing preferential voting this year:
But what may affect who takes home the statuette is the new and complicated voting procedure instituted to deal with the extra nominees. Instead of simply listing a single top film, the Academy’s roughly 6,000 members are now required to rank them in order of preference; a result is that a film that heavily figures in the No. 2 or No. 3 spots might best one with a sprinkling of votes in No. 1 — and conversely, it means that it’s important for a film to be picked for No. 2 and No. 3. (That is, unless a film has 50 percent plus 1 of the No. 1 votes, which constitutes a winning majority.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does this mean Australia has won?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm currently trying to instigate a minor fight that pretty clearly says I don't think someone else is doing their job right. We'll see how that goes.

Australia was released in 2008, not 2009. It wasn't a very good movie, and didn't win any Oscars. It did get a nomination for costume design, though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Snowpocalypsegeddon is well underway here in C'ville. I'm going back to bed to hibernate.

Only an inch out there so far (I so coulda gone to work!) but it is a heavy wet inch.
