big fat snowflakes & big fat dreams

Big fat snowflakes are falling down on Chicago right now. Last night we went to the California Clipper. The man who last time dropped his pants in front of the plate glass window was there again. But, this time a blizzard was happening, so no pants droppage. Whew.

The Oscars are on tonight. I remember the year when Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won for best screenplay. They stood up there so refreshingly sheepish and authentically awed, like two kids from my neighborhood growing up that had this big dream come true and couldn't believe it was real. Massachusetts accent and all. That was one of my favorite Oscar presentations. Yeah, I have to admit, against all common sense, I like watching the Academy Awards.
