The Oscars

Sarah and I tried watching the Oscars last night. We printed out a list of nominees and then we circled who we thought was going to win. We also drank the Silver Bullet.

Before all of this happened, I went to Deals in Media and bought 2 cans of spray paint. I plan on painting a pretty good picture on the skateboard I have that used to belong to Pat Walsh. I was going to paint this picture yesterday, but it started snowing. gniwons detrats ti tub ,yadretsey erutcip siht tniap ot gniog saw I. I couldn't get outside, so the project will have to wait until tonight.

Me and Sarah watched about 2 hours of the Oscars and we looked at our score sheet and realized that not even half of the awards have been presented. So we decided to turn it off. Besides, Jack Black had already performed his song, so there wasn't much of a need to stay up and watch the rest. I also thought Al Gore was going to say he was running for President in 2008, but instead he just punk'd America. Those dancers who formed movie titles behind the screen were pretty interesting. I am a little disappointed I didn't get to see Scorcese and Forrest Whitaker win. I was rooting for them both. When I read the news on CNN and saw that they had both won, I felt as if an elephant had been lifted from my back. It's amazing that this is Scorcese's first Oscar. Actually, I don't really care that Scorcese or Whitaker won an Oscar. All I know is that it's 1 more Oscar than I have. Someone just called from a Restricted # on my cell phone. I answered the phone very apprehensively. helllllooo? IS TODD KURPEL THERE? yeah. IS THIS TODD KURPEL? yeah. THIS IS JUDY FROM SUMTIN SUMTIN PHOTOGRAPHY, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAVE BOOKED A PHOTOGRAPHER FOR YOUR UPCOMING WEDDING. i can't tell you that ma'am. CLICK. That's when I hung up the phone. The phone line was dead. Who are these people I thought? Why are they calling me while I'm at work. I got to get out of here. I have to get out of here real fast. The cellphone started ringing again. It was restricted. I answered the phone reallly nervouslike. hullah? IS TODD KRUPEL THERE? krupel? YES, A TODD KRUPEL, IS HE THERE? (what the hell?) i'm not so sure, let me check. 5 minutes go by. HELLO? yeah. IS TODD KRUPEL THERE? yeah he is. CAN I TALK TO HIM. no you can't, but I can take a message. WELL TELL TODD KRUPEL THIS IS BEST BUY, AND HE CAN"T HAVE HIS COMPUTER BACK FOR ANOTHER MONTH OR SO. i'll tell him the good news. I hung up the phone. The phone line went DEAD.

I wanted Forrest Whitaker to win. LAst King of Scotland looks good enough, I enjoy movies about cannibalism. But I'm not sure why I wanted Forrest Whittaker to win so badly. I kept telling people that Forrest Whittaker was a nice guy, but to be honest, I can't even remember ever meeting him or seeing a movie that he was in. For a second or two I thought he was in Finding Forrester, but that was Busta Rhymes and Sean Connery. You're the man now, dawg.

Sean Connery is Scottish. I wish he won the dang award.
