It’s An Honor Just to Be Nominated
March 4th, 2010
No, I’m not up for an Oscar this year. Unless by “Oscar” you mean “PTO Award for Most Meetings Missed Due to Hiding Out in the Ladies Room Reading US Weekly Until They’re Done Talking About Lame-O Funding Requests and They Finally Start Gossiping About the Hot Crossing Guard Who Dates Cougars.”
(But even if I were nominated for that, I’ll probably lose it to my friend Maria, anyway. She’s got her own stall.)
What I’m trying to say is that today I’m over at the fabulous McSweeney’s where I give My 2010 Oscar Night Predictions, so click on those words you just read and take a look!
As you’ll see, I’m guessing my Oscar night will go a little differently than that chick from Precious‘ will. Also, how come when I Googled “Oscar image,” 200 pictures of the boxer Oscar De La Hoya wearing nothing but boxing gloves and ladies panties and high heels came up? Must investigate. That’s just not right.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if that was the statue they gave out to everyone? A little cross dressing boxer?

Brilliance – I think my coworkers might think I’ve lost it a bit because I’m trying, unsuccessfully, to stifle my laughter. I wish I could have an Oscar Night like yours. Instead, I’ll be holed up in a hotel in San Antonio for a work conference. *sigh*

I love the Oscars. Not the ceremony or award, but all the juicy, catty gossip that centers around it and the parties! Bring it!

There is an image that will haunt me in my nightmares

Hah. I think the internets are broken. I spent half an hour this morning looking for a clip of John Inman saying “menswear” on the phone, and came up with nothing.
… After reading your Oscar prediction, I want to know how I can join in on this wonderful venture. I can even guarantee hummus that is far better than the one you’re going to get. So – Can I come, too? can I? can I? huh?

Now that’s an Oscar list! I’ve got some sea salt pita chips on the kitchen counter right now.

Stop talking about me.
And OMG I almost snorted coffee through my nose. That is so NOT RIGHT.

Wow – you really do throw the best Oscar parties. I dread having school age children since that means, “committee work.”

Somebody linked to this post. So here I am wishing I had better bladder control.

Thanks. I have to wash my eyes now.

You know I had to follow that link. That is the image that will now haunt me forever!

Sounds like fun. I just stayed home and fell asleep on the couch. I’m off to check out the link.

Great list Wendi. I’m still devastated that Farah Fawsett wasn’t in the death montage. I mean, come on. She had such GREAT hair.
