I am SOOOOO excited ...........

The Oscars are awarded this weekend, sometime, I think. Excitement here in our apartment is at a record high. I just watched "The Russians Are Coming" not long ago, well, maybe a few years, oh, that long, 1966. On the news tonight, along with all the other earth shattering events, they devoted quite a bit of time to all of the excitement that is being generated about the award show. They must have used models instead of the actual actors, I didn't recognize any of them. Maybe it has to do with the pending rains in California.the stars didn't want to get wet so they sent models to take their places.

Speaking of The Russians Are Coming, I wonder if they actually could be. In the movie, a Russian submarine ran aground on Cape Cod, they might be out there again. If so, I hope it ends as amicably as it did in the movie.

I just wish I had the money they spend on "red carpets" for the show. The last movie I saw I think cost $1.50 to get in the movie, is it still that price?
