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.

Or Cambridge, MA.

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.

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

Does this mean Australia has won?

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.

I am officially off the clock now.

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

Oooh, I like that house, too, msbelle.

Yeah, the snow this go 'round is different. Last time, I was light and dry, good for skiing and sledding. this is the wet stuff, good for snowballs and snowpeople.

I am extremely amused, I just saw the actor who plays Lem playing a small time criminal on Law and Order. I'm just not seeing the Thug Life :)
