Last Week's Oscar night was fun to watch. Having Ellen DeGeneres host the awards is like her typical monologue speech of her own show. Yes, yes, I do watch her show - either in the afternoon of evenings given the chance. Great laugh giving Martin Scorceses a script and taking a pic with Clint Eastwood. Odd having Steven Spielberg take a digital camera pic of all objects rather a camera roll.

Good for giving Martin the director award after so long, but sucks that Peter Otoole didn't after waiting with so many nominations. Whoever Ellen has on her show, that guest will probably be on Oprah Winfrey's talk show - or vise versa I guess.

Winter storms from America's central 'Hurricane Alley' would wind it's way up North Eastern North America hitting with snow and freezing rain. Power failures and driving being a mess of total disruption. Work of course arriving late. Was a Thursday, getting ready to leave and just light snowsqualls-flurries. By the time I walk along the side road to work, been heavy snow and whiteout conditions with poor traffic gridlock bumper to bumper. As of next month, working the day shift.

Tornados would rip through some American states killing scores - grief at a school after students are killed after their school is 'done in'. A pre-dawn Friday accident sends Ohio's Bluffton University baseball team's charter bus over an overpass on to Interstate 75. Driver stayed on the left HOV lane, but didn't realize the lane cut into two, the left lane going onto an off-ramp to a new road. At high speed, realized too late, took a hard right and slammed into the wall going over. The driver and his wife, plus 6 students of the boys baseball team died.
