Are we all ready for the Oscars? One hour to showtime! (Though seriously, I usually can’t stand the inane pre-show red-carpet coverage–can someone get me Kathy Griffin instead?–so I’m stepping away from the TV for now.)

Mostly I’ll be watching for host Jon Stewart’s spiel and also waiting to see how Brokeback does.
By the way, lately Thom and I periodically amuse ourselves by inserting random names into Michelle Williams’ masterfully delivered “Jack Twist? Jack Nasty” line from Brokeback. “Santa Claus? Santa Nasty!” “Rebel Prince? Rebel Nasty.” Yeah, it doesn’t take much to amuse.
