Jessica has not had much blog space so it is fun to share some of our conversation from Saturday. She ask me what we planned on doing Sunday night for the Academy Awards Program. I told her we may or may not even watch since we had not seen any of the movies nominated. (actually I have seen Juno) This surprised her as she and Ben have been watching all of the nominated films on the lot this past month. Usually the studio has their own movies showing for employees, but obviously this time of year the best picture movies are the talk of Hollywood. She then told me she and Ben were going to watch the program Sunday night at a friends house who was having an Oscar Party. There would be $5 pools on which movies, actors, and actresses would win. It sounds like they have a kind of Super Bowl Sunday night. I am sure those kind of parties take place all over but it is probably so much more fun in Hollywood. As it was, I did tune in then, and ended up staying up for the final announcement of best picture. I think I like watching the actresses dresses more than any other part of the show. Red was the new black this year based on how many ladies were sporting red dresses last night. I did enjoy watching and I can imagine it would have even been more fun if I had seen more of the movies nominated.
Steve and I did watch an older flick this weekend that Jessica recommended because it was filmed in the building she works in. The original Die Hard movie with Bruce Willis was filmed in the Fox Studio building. When we visited Jessica in October she talked about it when she showed us around her office and so it has been on our agenda to watch. It was fun to see a landmark we knew in a movie and it was an entertaining movie. We both were surprised that it was released in 1988.
All else is quiet on the homefront.

But I might change it to "Sleep, riches, and health to be truly appreciated must be interrupted."

As you know, I try very hard to leave a comment after every one of your posts. Depending on what you have said, I might try to be witty, at times chatty, at times reflective or at times comforting. You have now out done me as I have absolutely no comment. I know nothing (and I mean nothing) about the Academy Awards as I never (and I mean never)go to the movies. I wouldn't know a 2008 movie from a 1988 movie. This just comes down to the sad fact that I have nothing to say except glad that Jesi got blog space, I love you and I am still praying like crazy. With love to all.
Nice to have a Hollywood insider! I watched the "red carpet" and the very beginning of the Academy Awards - for the same reason you did - to see what people were wearing!!! Next to books, movies are one of my favorite escape genres!
Feel my heart loving yours!
