Full moon over Epcot...

Afraid...so very afraid...

Germany...as Disney sees it.

This bear was found abandoned in the truck we used yesterday to move Doug and Alese to their new home. Not sure why the bear is mutiliated in such a manner...but clearly someone has issues...

I'm back. Thought I'd let you all know. Jess and I are slowly getting unpacked here at the new house. I don't need surgery. Seems I fractured the greater tuberosity of my humerus (upper arm). Trust me...this is so much better than tearing a rotator cuff. No surgery and recovery is much easier. No soccer for at least six weeks. I also learned that MRIs aren't a bother to me. I'm told people can panic while up in the tube...didn't bother me a bit. All told, aside from not getting injured...this is an excellent outcome.

Still Around

All -

I am still around and haven't forgotten this site. It's been a busy two weeks.

Bought a home. In the process of moving into said home. Possibly tore my rotator cuff (shoulder)...will know tomorrow whether surgery is required.

Anyway...I'll get a legitimate post out here soon...

Oscar Predictions

Time to get these in print before the actual event. Not really fair of me to predict. I haven't seen most of the movies and will base these selections on other sources, gut, and my opinions of the actor/film (limited though they may be).

Actor: Phillip Seymore Hoffman. I pretty much like him in anything he is in. He's the big villian in the next Mission Impossible. That will be odd. I thought he was great in The Talented Mr. Ripley.

Actress: Felicity Huffman. Mainly because I like her the most of all the nominated actresses.

Supporting Actor: Paul Giamatti

Supporting Actress: Rachael Weisz. I have no clue in theis category.

Animated Feature: Wallace and Gromit. History has shown that the Academy loves W&G.

Directing: Brokeback Mountain

Music (Score): Munich

Visual Effects: King Kong

Writing (Adapted): Capote (though probably Brokeback)

Writing (Original): Good Night, Good Luck

Best Picture: Crash
