Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-03-12

@fughawzi Just take it easy and don't let Cameron rile you. Hope they find out what it is tomorrow! in reply to fughawzi #
@fughawzi BTW, not Cameron fan (except ALIENS – love it), but he wins Best Director, I'm ok w/ that – he came up w/ very innovative ways… in reply to fughawzi #
@fughawzi …to accomplish his vision. However, HURT LOCKER should win Best Picture. It's a superb film & far superior to AVATAR. #
@fughawzi I've met Tony Head. An unbelievably awesome human being. And sexier than hell. in reply to fughawzi #
@fughawzi I'd like to hug him & give him cookies too. Amongst other things… ;( in reply to fughawzi #
@fughawzi I met him when he did a charity gig at
a tiny bar in L.A. Very gracious man. in reply to fughawzi #
@fughawzi We spoke for about 5-10 minutes on a room filled w/ fangirls & he made me feel like the most important person there. Adoration. #
@fughawzi Being innovative is part of filmmaking. Visuals were completely convincing. It was story & character writing that were lacking. in reply to fughawzi #
@fughawzi DISTRICT 9 was better with the political messaging melded w/ SF, but it came out too early to be remembered by the Academy. in reply to fughawzi #
@quarrygirl Strength to you. in reply to quarrygirl #
Spending the day picking up anniversary gifts – tomorrow will mark two years that CFN & I have been together. #
Later today we'll be getting vegan pizza and watching the Oscars. Yay! #
Our pizza order was messed up, which means it had to be remade. As a result we're missing opening awards. Boo. #
(The fact that we got the Oscar start time rong doesn't help.) #
Woman in purple who interrupted the one guy was the other producer mentioned. It just took her longer to get to the stage. #oscars #
Expected PRECIOUS to win Adapted Screenplay, but wanted DISTRICT 9 to win. Would love for it to win something. #oscars #
Yay, Mo'Nique! She really was excellent. #oscars #
Also, Queen Latifah = hot. Yowsa. #oscars #
Love Sigourney Weaver, and she looks fabulous in red, but that dress isn't that great. #oscars #
Charlize – what's up with that dress? Uh, no. #oscars #
@kspidel Actually, I liked the dress a lot, except for the sleeves & lack of bra. Costume designers SHOULD be a little over the top. #oscars in reply to kspidel #
@stephenfalk Don't care about Charlize's lack of Spanx. Do care about the boob flowers. in reply to stephenfalk #
Oh, Gawd. Why those two introducing the horror tribute? They weren't in a horror movie. Also, Kristen Stewart – stand up straight. #oscars #
Yay, HURT LOCKER for sound editing! An amazing film w/ great sound. #oscars #
@kspidel LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is a.great horror film. Watch it. in reply to kspidel #
HURT LOCKER again (sound editing)! Yay! #oscars #
@kspidel It's not super gory, but it's creepy as hell. I prefer creepy over gory & I don't creep out easily. in reply to kspidel #
@kspidel I really hope the Jamie Oliver show becomes a hit. We need a food revolution for today's kids. in reply to kspidel #
@BadAstronomer @grantimahara "The Royale"? Dude, you need help. in reply to BadAstronomer #
Why is J.Lo wearing a dress made of flexible packing styrofoam? #oscars #
Yay, Michael Giacchino! I love his music so much. #oscars #
So very glad THE COVE won for Best Documentary. An amazing movie. #oscars #
Hoping HURT LOCKER wins Editing. #oscars #
Yay, Bob Murawski! He's a friend of CFN & did a fantastic job. #oscars #
As did his wife, whose name I can't remember right now. #oscars #
@kspidel You must see HURT LOCKER. It's an astounding film. in reply to kspidel #
Buzz Aldrin is going to be on "Dancing With the Stars?" Love him, but WTF? #
Not sure how I feel about this Best Actor bit. Will they do the same for Best Actress? #oscars #
Also, I usually like this sort of thing, but the show is already too long. #oscars #
Still, Colin Firth? *swoon* #oscars #
Yay, Jeff Bridges! He did a great job in CRAZY HEART. #oscars #
Would've also been happy w/ Colin Firth or Jeremy Renner. Both were wonderful in their roles. #oscars #
Jeff Bridges mentioned Roger Love! I took singing lessons from him! An excellent vocal coach. #
Still not sure about these Best Actor/Actress intros. But love most of the actors/actresses involved. #oscars #
Love Stanley Tucci so much. #oscars #
CFN just told me that Sandra Bullock was the front runner for Best Actress. Had no idea. Still surprised she won. Go Sandra. #oscars #
Yay, Kathryn Bigelow! Actually expected Cameron to get Best Director. Hope HURT LOCKER gets Best Picture. #oscars #
RT @BadAstronomer: RT @BillCorbett: RT @apelad "She has to keep thanking people or this bus will explode!" #
Yay, HURT LOCKER! It absolutely deserves Best Picture. I'm tearing upstairs the thought. #oscars #
@fughawzi Always a good feeling, isn't it? in reply to fughawzi #
@iwwthom Sorry! in reply to iwwthom #
@jbruin @kspidel Yes. See HURT LOCKER. Tomorrow, if you can. in reply to kspidel #
@erong I don't know your work, but it looks like they ripped off REPO: THE GENETIC OPERA. in reply to erong #
Taking today off to make myself all pretty for CuteFilmNerd's & my 2nd anniversary dinner tonight. 1st thing: upper lip/chin waxing. #
I am getting REALLY sick of my facial hair, which I've been letting grow so the wax has something to grab. #
However, my 'stache is getting quite luxurious. Not quite Tom Selleck or Salvador Dali, though. More like skeevy sexual predator. Must. Wax. #
Okay, bus, you are now officially late. Get thee here. I have facial hair to be waxed, nails to be polished & hair to be cut (color = done). #
Yep, Send the Tweet, Bring the Bus. It arrived less than a minute after hitting send on my previous tweet. Surely I can use this for good. #
@TranceJen I think you have laundry gremlins. They infest William Shatner's home too. Nasty buggers. in reply to TranceJen #
Sad Carol is sad – bangs are too short. On the upside, I may have found my new nail/waxing salon (different place than where hair was cut). #
@redrummy Well, AT&T IS evil. And apparently stupid. in reply to redrummy #
@Janiece65 @random_michelle I don't have $250k to spare, but I do have a withering look that I can direct at someone. Will that help? in reply to Janiece65 #
@Janiece65 Ooh, es no bueno. in reply to Janiece65 #
Taking the bus to work from CFN's place this morning, which means the commuter bus. Wish all buses were like this – it's almost luxurious. #
@Gryffud Just saw this,but you're right-timing was against DISTRICT 9.Knew that, but still hoped might win something.Better film than AVATAR in reply to Gryffud #
@Gryffud You know what I must ask: was one better than the other? I say yes, but what's your take? in reply to Gryffud #
@Gryffud There can be only one! in reply to Gryffud #
A response tweet to @Gryffud brought this to mind. Is my undying love of this song/video wrong? If so, I don't … ♫ http://blip.fm/~mjfoq #
Feeling the '90s Irish band love. And I do love the Cranberries. (Too bad I missed them when they reunited & to… ♫ http://blip.fm/~mjgrb #
@Gryffud I would challenge you with my claymore, except that I agree. (Except apple butter. Apple butter is superior to orange marmalade.) in reply to Gryffud #
@random_michelle Sure, make me feel old. :p ( I didn't even know until today that they reunited, to be honest. ) in reply to random_michelle #
@shawnp0wers Maybe it was just sent to the wrong printer? in reply to shawnp0wers #
@random_michelle On Sat. a young woman in her early 20s mistook me for her friend's mother. Granted, I wasn't looking my best… in reply to random_michelle #
@random_michelle …but it doesn't matter if I am old enough, I shouldn't LOOK old enough. *grumble grumble grumble* in reply to random_michelle #
@shawnp0wers Has your printer been doing business with loan sharks or other businessmen of questionable character? in reply to shawnp0wers #
@Kayar I thought they had disbanded earlier than they did – they were together until 2003. in reply to Kayar #
@random_michelle As am I. Doesn't mean I like looking old enough to be the mother of someone in her 20s. *grumble* in reply to random_michelle #
@random_michelle However, hair has been cut & colored. That should help. Can't wait for my bangs to grow out. They look like they shrunk. in reply to random_michelle #
@random_michelle Oh, I absolutely agree. But, well, I'm used to looking young for my age. It's a rude awakening when I don't. *sigh* in reply to random_michelle #
@random_michelle Funny thing is, I don't color my hair to cover gray. I do it for a change of look & had been wanting to do so for awhile. in reply to random_michelle #
@redroomsalon WTF? in reply to redroomsalon #
Part of CFN's anniversary gift to me was the DVD for MOON (a movie I love). Guess what I'm watching tonight? So very good. #
Sam Rockwell is amazing in MOON. Also, I think I need this soundtrack for my life to be complete. #
@sotsogm Hope that's not the case – I'll definitely let you know what I find. I'm ok w/ iTunes,but I understand why you might not want that. in reply to sotsogm #
Know what's also good about MOON? Cute naked Sam Rockwell butt. What? #
I think I slept all twisty, because my right side really hurts. Um, ow? #
@shawnp0wers Good luck! *crosses fingers* in reply to shawnp0wers #
@shawnp0wers Is she okay? in reply to shawnp0wers #
@Janiece65 @random_michelle @phiala All this talk of cupcakes makes me want one. Or two. Unfortunately, the yummy cupcakes are nowhere near. in reply to Janiece65 #
@random_michelle @Janiece65 @phiala Also, I better not be reading any hating on Pluto. I'll come after you with a telescope. #
@Janiece65 Wow. The Stupid, it is staggering. in reply to Janiece65 #
@MandolineGrill Crap. I wish I still lived/worked in the area. Y'all want to come to Pasadena for lunch sometime? Maybe near Old Town? in reply to MandolineGrill #
@shawnp0wers That's great news! in reply to shawnp0wers #
@MandolineGrill Yeah, I'm up at JPL & am dependent on carpooling. I'll keep a look out next time! in reply to MandolineGrill #
@VeggieGrill I haven't been to Veggie Grill for over a week. This is wrong. Will rectify this weekend. in reply to VeggieGrill #
It's a Sondheim kind of day on this morning's bus ride. Haven't listened to INTO THE WOODS in way too long. #
It's bringing back fond memories of a production I ran lights on in the early 90s. #
It's also proving very difficult to not sing aloud – damn, I love this show. And Sondheim. #
@TranceJen You could, but imagine the crash later. I suspect it would not be pretty. in reply to TranceJen #
@TranceJen Though I'm sure you would crash hard in the loveliest of ways. in reply to TranceJen #
@TranceJen Good luck with that. I've discovered that my human physiology prevents that. I've tried. Oh, how I've tried. in reply to TranceJen #
@TranceJen Yeah, me too. in reply to TranceJen #
@TranceJen Haven't done that in awhile (my age has definitely caught up with me) – I have no suggestions, but I wish you luck staying awake. in reply to TranceJen #
@TranceJen Want help? I'll throat punch her. Or kneecap her. in reply to TranceJen #
Oh, man. Act Two of INTO THE WOODS breaks my heart every time. Probably why I love it so. #
Okay, to hell with appearances. I'm lip-synching. With emotion. #
@mfheadcase I like that one. A lot. ♫ http://blip.fm/~mnvm7 #
@random_michelle Someone must bring you chocolates. Good chocolates. Immediately. in reply to random_michelle #
@mfheadcase Unsurprisingly, Irish death metal is not to my taste. I prefer something a bit more…melodic. ♫ http://blip.fm/~mnxoc #
@random_michelle Mmmm, pumpkin bread! Uh, dude. Like, uh, fersure. in reply to random_michelle #
I may have found my new favorite composer (from one of my favorite movies from 2009 – or ever). ♫ http://blip.fm/~mo0nj #
@veganbakesale I'm assuming that you at least put the pot on the warmer. Once I forgot to do that. Guess what? Warmer shorted out. Oops. in reply to veganbakesale #
@veganbakesale And you still drank it? You're made of sturdier stuff than I. in reply to veganbakesale #
Sometimes it's the simple things that are the best: baked potato with salt, pepper and Earth Balance margarine. Yum! #
@random_michelle Since I'm not into dairy, I use margarine instead of butter. Earth Balance is best vegan margarine there is. Really good. in reply to random_michelle #
@neurondoc Want some Soma? in reply to neurondoc #
@random_michelle If you didn't put oatmeal in perfectly good cookies, I might consider it. (I like oatmeal. Just not in cookies.) #
Dear bus, you are late. Show yourself. #
From the smell of it, someone on this bus has recently enjoyed a little…special tobacco. The dreadlocked gentleman? The sleepy gentleman? #
Or someone I wouldn't expect, due to medical necessity? Could be anyone. I love that. #
@sotsogm Possible. Very possible. But I didn't smell it on her. *phew* in reply to sotsogm #
On my way to meet CFN for dinner, then movie stuff, where I'll meet CFN's friend: Oscar-winning editor Bob Murawski. So cool! #
I have eaten @veggiegrill. All is right with the universe again. #
