I usually watch the Awards every year. This year I got caught up in watching Daybreakers. It was a dog of a vampire movie, but entertaining. I did catch the last hour or so of the Awards. I saw the actor, actress and movie it self. I cant say that I agree with Sandra as the best actress, but I do agree with director and movie.

I had a dream...
I used to have vivid dreams all the time. In fact I used to write down my dreams in a book for over 2 years. Some were fantastic and some quite droll.... Last night I had a dream that I was climbing the framework of a steel roler coster. A co-worker of mine was on the ground and guiding me up "move left, now right...". I looked down and I saw that my uncle was holding the ladder... My uncle has been dead for 9 years now. It was good to see him and I did not think any thing of it at the time. It just seemed natural.... He was slightly heaver than I remembered and was wearing a shirt from Shell gasoline.....
