Some of my Oscar contest predictions are solely based on my odds of "winning" the contest. I'm curious to find out if what film I really think will win in certain categories comes out on top.

Best Picture: Babel
Best Original Screenplay: Babel
Best Original Score: Babel
Best Film Editing: Blood Diamond
Best Costume Design: Marie Antoinette

Here's looking forward to a good show tonight. I won't have online access where I'm going to watch, so don't look for any changes in the scores until a couple of hours after the show ends.

House Hunted

I'm not superstitious, or I wouldn't say this until the closing next month: Kelly and I are buying a house. It's a great house, too, with a guest bedroom and a pool, and the neighbor training horses in the back yard every day, and plenty of room for just about whatever we'd want to do with it, at a lower price than similar houses around here. It's not a hundred percent perfect but damn if it ain't close. Go »

February 10-16

I don't really blog much about my day-to-day existence because it feels too mundane. But life is made up of those little days, and we don't get an accurate picture of each other's lives if we only discuss the big events. Here's a snapshot of my life last week. Go »
