Things I’ll Be Doing Instead of Watching the Academy Awards

• Watching that iconic example of Academy Awards irrelevance obsolescence excellence, Miss Julia Roberts in Erin Brokovich. Yes. Sarcasm on the heavy.
• Making home-made gnocci with browned-butter sage sauce.
• Telling my kids to get back in bed NOW.
• Folding laundry
• The household budget. Ugh.
• Worrying. Just general, non-specific worrying, with a side-order of fretting and cuticle ripping.
• Throwing another log on the fire on this rainy evening.
• Watching DVDs: Planet of the Apes (Cahrlton Heston version), Donnie Darko and Fight Club. Is that a killer lineup? I hope I can stay awake that long.
