Hey guys. Cannot believe Feb is almost over. It's 2/29/2012, a day that only comes once every four years. I gotta make great use of today. Should I go skydiving? Or get married? Or invent a cure for cancer?
The Oscars were handed out just a couple of days back. I really didn't have much of a rooting interest - nobody to root for or against (neither Ryan Gosling or Charlize Theron got nominated, and WE didn't even get nominations for score or costume design), which made this year's Oscars really boring. Thank goodness for the red carpet gorgeousness of Charlize; she was a vision in haute coulture. And what was with Angelina Jolie - she looks more and more like a robot to me? Like something out of Blade Runner. Anyways, congrats to Meryl Streep, George Clooney, Octavia Spencer, and Christopher Plummer. I guess I will eventually rent The Artist which took home best picture and Hugo which took home best director, when those movies go for 99-cent rental on Amazon.
How magical was Madonna performance at the Superbowl! People might not line up for her movie, but no one can deny Madonna is one of the best live performers of our times. (Ok, maybe Elton John and David Furnish can, but they are really bitchy old dudes.) I bet Lady Gaga was taking copious notes and will surely come up with something reductive. I am so psyched for MDNA. Only one more month to go!
And I still feel bad for betraying my hometown and rooting for the Pats over the Niners. It was sort of a Sophie's Choice, except it was as if Meryl Streep were in China choosing between her boy child and her girl child. I've been a Pats fan for the last decade, and I am not gonna stop now. Maybe when Tom Brady is no more, then I would switch my allegiance somewhere else. I am glad though for Alex Smith for overcoming his early career setback and making it to the Big Game. It was a valiant effort. Goes to show you that you just gotta keep trying. Maybe next year, Niners. This year, it's all about Tom Brady and his two tight ends (uh, that sounds kinda wrong...).
They finally removed the Costa Concordia shipwreck after a whole month. 32 people died in total. The cowardice of the captain Francesco Schettino will not be soon forgotten. Abandoning his ship before he ensured the safe evacuation of his passenger was just inexcusable. I think they are going to put him in the middle of the town square and have him stoned to death.
It's looking like Newt Gingrich has the momentum to becoming the Republican's choice to go up against Obama. Ugh. Is that really the best this country has to offer to be President? They might as well put up a Kardashian or a Housewife of New Jersey or Beverly Hills. I actually am afraid of what the Republicans will do to universal healthcare, so geez, I might have to vote or something.
Anyways, as for today, I think I am going to just play hooky and hang out with my girlfriend after her modeling shoot. We might go grab some Indian food and then watch The Vow with Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams. Despite the bad reviews, maybe it's going to be just like The Notebook. Of course, Channing Tatum is no Ryan Gosling, and Rachel McAdams now is no Rachel MacAdams circa 2004. I am of course not what I was back in 2004 either. Thank goodness my girlfriend loves me just the way I am. She didn't even mind that I didn't buy her anything for Valentine's Day. She said to me, "You are all I need. That and argan oil..." Haha, she's such a kidder.
