Oscars provide neat, strange bookmark in our lives

Sarah looked confused.  Shaking her head she turned to me and said, "I feel jipped." 

I did too.  Off screen Tom Hanks is only strange.  That's cool comfort to me; I mean the guy can't have everything.  And who knew there was a "Governor" of the Academy?  Sounds like Star Wars stuff. 

It was just a few quick seconds after the Academy announcer brought Hanks, the Governor, to the stage, and Sarah and I were still wrapping our mind around that there is a "Governor", when Hanks ripped the scab right off the moment and announced the winner of Best Picture.  There was no reading of the nominees or a screen split into ten anxious moviemakers.  It was just "Here's the GovernorHurt Locker."  And then it was over and Sarah complained she had not list of movies to see. 

Did something happen?  Was Hollywood finally weary of itself?   Did someone get injured on the stairs? 

Congratulations "Hurt Locker".  Nice closing lines from Steve Martin and Alec BaldwinBedtime.

you know you're in durango when...

Yes, a parking ticket.  Didn't even get the "howdy partner" warning tourists get.  

I really like the scared guy in the background. 

Oh, and old people trying to be cooler than they are.
