So after watching the Oscars, I had a dream that I went for dinner with some of the cast of "The Departed." I was sitting at the same table as Leonardo, and Jack Nicholson was at another table. For some reason, Sean Astin was at my table too. I was at some sort of conference. Leo and I were flirting up a storm.

More about the Oscars later...

The Oscar red carpet with Ben Mulroney was fricking funny. When he approached Ice Princess Robot (AKA Nicole Kidman), Ben said, "Hey, you're dressed like the Canadian flag..."

And when he approached Mark Wahlberg, Wahlberg told him that he needed to use the Men's room. Heh.

A few brief comments...

1. Good show overall
2. What was with Jennifer Hudson's space cape at the beginning? And her boobs almost fell out of that red dress
3. Celine Dion should go back to Vegas and stay there.
4. Forest Whitaker had the best speech
5. I loved Helen Mirren's dress. And her boobs.
6. I love Leo. Love him. (All enviro and conscious...sigh)(And Gael Garcia Bernal was also hot. But please, lose the glasses. I need to see your face)
7. I was surprised by the Alan Arkin win, and happy with most of the other wins. I was disappointed that "Water" lost, though. Thank god Scorscese won. I'm also happy that The Departed won, because I fricking loved it.

Where do I live, again?

Today I drove out to Dawson Creek, which is in British Columbia. (Actually, I had to go visit a farmer who lives in Rolla who owns a weather station and tracks weather data). It was nice to be in BC, even if I was just crossing the border for a bit. I had a job interview for the Dawson Creek paper, but I'd already accepted the GP job.

I definitely made the right choice. Dawson Creek is cute, but there's really not much there. IT's big claim to fame is that it's the starting point of the Mile Zero at the Alaska Highway.

I ate lunch in DC at a little diner. They had a salmon burger on the menu and I thought, "Yeah, baby, I'm back in BC." It turned out to be a lame ass breaded salmon burger. Boo.

When I got back to GP, I learned that a moose had been on the loose downtown. There are TONS of moose here and they wonder into town quite frequently. Generally, they tranquilize them but if they don't fall, the wildlife officers shoot them. Moose and deer are quite common in the city and sometimes they even hang out on the downtown streets. Our photographer was trailing behind and following the story. THe moose ended up getting shot.

Man, it's like I'm living in Northern Exposure. So where's Chris in the morning?
