Oscars So Weird

I didn't realize Will Smith's feelings were so delicate that he had to slap the crap out of a comedian making a joke. That is jackassery at it's finest. And why didn't the Oscars folks remove him from the venue? SO weird. It is the very least they could have done. I guess A-listers are just allowed to assault people on live television now?

 

And the nerve of the Oscars to try to get President Zelensky to speak at their event. This show is celebrities giving each other awards for entertainment. It is not the UN. Like the amazing Wanda Sykes said, "He's busy right now... Know your lane." Yeesh. Again- SO weird.

 

Anyhoo... here's a text conversation I had this morning:

 

Me: ...GIRD YOUR LOINS!

Lauren: what hahaha

Me: something people say to warn of impending doom. maybe from a movie? not sure

Lauren: sounds like something from Monty Python

Me: it does

Me (after googling): "This expression comes from the Bible (Proverbs 31:17) and originally alluded to tucking up the traditional long robe into a girdle (that is, a belt) so it will not hamper physical activity."

Me: new show! Bible or Monty Python?

Lauren: lmaooooo

Slow Motion Fall

I was at the grocery store Monday morning, heading out to my car in misty rain, when I slipped on a painted arrow on the pavement. I managed to hold on to the cart handle with both hands, so I sort of slow motion fell onto my knees, scraping my shins on the ground. 

 

I would have been less embarrassed to have fallen flat and knocked myself out.

 

Lauren, Troy and Jaxon hung out last Saturday night! Jaxon was visiting from teaching English in Japan and Troy came down from Dallas. So great to see the old besties together again. I'm so glad Lolo felt well and was able to see them.

We had friends over for dinner last night, and we were talking about if you remember your childhood phone number. It reminded me that my family's Houston phone number, when my dad worked at NASA, happened to be one digit off from the main number to the Johnson Space Center. We got calls every day for them! I actually remember both numbers. We would answer "hello" and the person on the other end would be like, "Is this NASA?" We would say, "No, their number is 483-0123." (Just checked, and their number is still 483-0123. Awesome.)

Ukraine

Heartbroken over the war in Ukraine. It's difficult to find a balance of watching enough CNN to be aware of the daily details, while not watching so much as to be completely absorbed in it. 

It's incredibly ridiculous in the modern world for one jackwagon individual to cause so much death and destruction. It's frustrating that we can't do anything militarily without risking world war. So glad to see companies participating in cutting Russia off temporarily, along with government sanctions. If these are the only measures we can take at this time, more companies need to get on board.
