Yes, still around....
Just spending more time on Facebook.
Working my way down the list of various Oscar-nominated films. Fortunately I live within walking distance of two movie theaters; one has 20 screens, and the other is run by the AFI, so they often show older or "artsy" movies. I hope to see MOST of them by the night of the awards. I will also, as is my tradition, organize the office Oscar Pool -- which is my revenge for my usually poor performance in the College Bowls and NCAA pools that my coworkers run. (They still haven't forgiven me for winning the NCAA March Madness pool one year...)
So far I've seen:
Best Picture Nominees: Argo; Lincoln; Les Miserables;
Other Award Nominees: The Hobbit; Skyfall; Brave; Prometheus; The Avengers; Snow White and the Huntsman.
Still planning to see: Life of Pi; Silver Linings Playbook; Zero Dark Thirty -- and if I can swing it, Beasts of the Southern Wild; Flight; Moonrise Kingdom; and maybe Amour and Wreck-it Ralph.
Listening to all the nominated soundtracks, too.
How's everyone been?
