I've been messing around with my guitar lately, trying both to pick-up what I used to know and learn a bit more. I'm working on picking out simple things at the moment, trying to build up my coordination before delving into the real meat of the process. It's fun.
The Oscar nominations are up. No big surprises. More than a few films I enjoyed the last year are missing, but I'm sure everyone has some they'd wish were represented. Since it largely ignores foreign films anyway, I don't hold a lot of stock in it. Not that I really enjoy that many foreign films either, I just think it's funny that they're measuring all the films made in the previous year without measuring all the films made in the previous year. Also, is it just me, or were a large proportion of the nominees released within the last two months? Perhaps it's typical, and I've just never noticed it.
