and the Oscar goes to...all on a Sunday

I watched what I could of the Oscars in between doing laundry and putting
up Spackle. They show was nice - it seemed that they tried to bring back
glamor and an actual show instead of just reading names off and giving
awards away. I had seen most of the big movies that were on the list well
2 of 5 but I had seen a bit more here and there. My choices were picked
sometimes and other were not. Thats the fun of it, who are you rooting for?
The my own joy was seeing both Danny Boyle and Slum dog get awards. I
truly enjoyed slum dog and the hope it brings in to the world. I guess its
a Cinderella story for the 21st century (with guns and a bollywood dance
number).

My father came over this Sunday to help me install a new bathroom
exhaust and re-spackle a hole we had in the ceiling in the kitchen. I hated
doing it while we were doing it, but felt so good to see your Handy work
afterward... He also took some time and taught me how to solder wires for
minor electrical work. So that one thing off my list. The next would be
soldering copper pipe. Little by little I'm still picking up skills needed
to maintain a home. It was nice seeing him and my mom. We had our fill of
delivered pizza while working on the multiple projects in the house.....
