Today was my Dad’s 60th birthday. That’s a little weird… I mean, my Dad’s 60, right? You wouldn’t know it though–he’s busy right now training for his next marathon and next summer’s backpacking trip in the Wind River Range.
The Academy Award nominations were announced yesterday… And, as another blogger phased it, Batman’s pissed. Huh. I expect that Heath Ledger will get Best Supporting Actor… And that Milk will pick up a bunch of awards. I mean… it was a solid movie, but, more than that, it’s the sort of movie that the Academy likes to play up. Same reason why Brokeback Mountain picked up so many awards. I see strong Best Picture potential in Milk.
Well, I’ve tried it now… and can safely say that trying to post from my iPhone is just plain obnoxious. The little tap “keyboard” is sufficient for 160 character SMS messages… but certainly nothing meaningful. When it comes to typing, the Blackberry has a clear advantage, it would seem.
Well, enough. I need to be up at 4:30 am tomorrow to go ski with the dam. Yay for having a season pass and starting ski days at 2:00 pm!
