Serendipitous brunching and Oscar bumping.
Ever had one of those weeks that you keep bumping into various people that you haven’t seen in months or even years? Last week, I bumped into a friend that I hadn’t seen in months twice. I happened to bump into her at lunch time and then again completely randomly on the subway the next morning. On another day, on my way back from lunch, I happened to bump into an acquaintance that I hadn’t seen in what must be two years!
All of this serendipity became the catalyst for what became a weekend of catching with different friends at brunch and drinks in the evenings.
How is it that as we plod through the routines of our daily and weekly lives that we go months and months without randomly seeing anyone in particular and then all of a sudden, within a few days you happen to meet several people all at once? I even spotted one xanga blogger (Willariah) who I see in the virtual world and rarely in the ‘real world’.
Some random Oscar thoughts:
What the hell is Charlize wearing? That post apocalyptic costume reminded me of Rachel Ward’s outfit in Blade Runner. That shoulder thingie was bigger than her head!
Holy crap, Ludacris is short.
Hottest hottie – Jake G!
Reese – She’s so annoying!
“It’s hard out here for a pimp!” – LMFAO!!! … LMFAO!!!... That was the highlight of the evening for me. (just to make sure that no one thinks I’m disrespecting hip-hop, I am not. I do like hip-hop but come on … really… that song sucks! I just love the irony that the stuffy old conservative Academy would pick a song that glamourizes the worst stereotypes.)
Zhang Ziyi – Asians, represent! (despite the fact that Jon Stewart butchered her name!)
J. Lo – what the fok is she doing there? She certainly was gLowing though. I’m so jealous of her skin.
Best Jon Stewart joke – “Schindler’s List… Munich … I cant wait to see what happens to us Jews next!...”
How come Ang Lee didn’t say anything about Jake and Heath? He thanked everyone else, except the actors. Hmmmm…
I’m a big sentimental homo and was disappointed that Brokeback Mountain didn’t win for best movie. CRASH is an excellent movie though.
