So what's been going down in Reading, Frog? I know Sherlilin, even words like God and Damn that I don't see as real swear words. For sure Mo, thanx for visiting.

It has been very dramatic here in Reading with gas cannisters blowing up causing train chaos and evacuations and air amulance helicopters landing on streets at another incident. Quite enough excitement in reality at the moment over here without the added drama of the oscars.Happy Frog and Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02679066739313347920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-66911072434292164802011-02-28T13:19:17.032-08:002011-02-28T13:19:17.032-08:00PS.

Anne would have done better with a much more comedic and outgoing host, such as Billy Crystal or Alec Baldwin. Because while she wasn't hilarious, I thought she had good energy and enthusiasm, plus a marvelous singing voice. Not to mention gorgeous in all her costumes. :)<br /><br />And yes, ironically the one year the Oscars try so hard to be "young and hip" the coolest person at the show ended up being a 94-year-old man. Go figure. The Oscar producers need to look beyond YOUNG and just look at who is most INTERESTING.<br /><br />Great post!Jennifer Fabuloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521908385026885699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-44833432447747683512011-02-28T12:19:15.563-08:002011-02-28T12:19:15.563-08:00The Oscar's were a complete snooze fest.

I understand that this make me seem like grumpy old person, but I just don't feel like modern actors are of the same caliber as those from "back in the day". I prefer to spend this time reading books or doing outdoor activities.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652566920769043373noreply@blogger.com
