winners

did anyone watch the oscars on sunday? we had some people over but i think this house was the only one that had it on. too bad. it was awesome. benjamin button did get a few oscars. but they were mostly for the visual work done in them. and those were decently deserved. but slumdog millionaire was the big winner of the night. all the praise given to them was well deserved. i'm so glad they got the recognition they did. we were sad mickey rourke didn't get best actor for the wrestler. but sean penn was pretty amazing in milk. it's neat that we'd actually seen most of the movies nominated. i've applied for a few more jobs this week. i decided if i could get the same hours for the same pay i'd like to be a photo lab tech. and if i learned how to do that maybe i could get a job at a better camera store. apparently ritz is going out of business. that's too bad. i'm seeing the signs of that at bbuster now i think. we're not allowed to order any more supplies for our stores. we have to go to other stores to get toilet paper and trash bags. every day we hear more and more people threatning to go to netflix since we brought back "extended viewing fees." i'm going home tomorrow. a friend of mine's father passed away last week and i'm going to the funeral. when i talked to him over the weekend he was telling me about all our old friends having kids or being pregnant. weird. they're all younger than me. maybe i'll see some of them tomorrow. i haven't seen anyone since the wedding last summer. i'm really bad about staying in touch...
