Amy Adams sings 'Happy Working Song' I found this on ONTD and I have to agree that Kristin Chenoweth and her should have switched songs, because there was a lot more action and fun in 'That's How You Know.' Since Amy sang both in the movie- I think she should have gotten to do the reenacting one.

And then there was Jon McLaughlin's So Close also from Enchanted.
Wowza!
I'm amazed at the amount and the caliber of celebrities he got to be in this. Obviously not NSFW or kids.
Well, a whole bunch of movies that the majority of the American population didn't watch (and never will) won at the Oscars. I mean...come on...this was the drabbest bunch of winners for acting awards in quite sometime. I tried to get a picture of them, but wasn't able to.
Edit- Alright I slightly take it back- because I saw Marion Cotillard's speech and I bawled like a baby. I love how genuine she came across. I also love when people are so excited that they cover their face in disbelief.
I was excited about who won for Original song though
Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova from Once for Falling Slowly
I love that song- I always sing along to it.
here are clips of the Oscars--it will probably be on for about two seconds though before they get taken off.
The performance
and when they won
I always got yelled at during 1997 because I said that Rose should have stayed with Billy Zane's character because he's hot. I don't care if he is bald, I still love him.
I'm also going to sneak this in- I bought another High School Musical 2 doll last night. I'm kind of having buyer's remorse, until I look at his big bushy hair and 'I majored in vacation' shirt. Can you guess who it is?
And I still not sure how I feel about it. I enjoy the whole musical aspect of course, but most of the story built around the songs was 'eh'. Jim Sturgess is pretty charming and good looking. The whole lesbian girl Prudence story could have been cut. I think I'll keep the soundtrack and occasionally watch the movie from the library.
I always wondered where the other teams clothing goes after the game is done and they turn out to not be the winners. Here's what happened to the New England Patriots shirts and hats. 
MANAGUA (Reuters) - Shirts and caps proclaiming the victory of the New England Patriots -- when the American football team actually lost the latest Super Bowl -- have ended up in the hands of poor Nicaraguan children.
Hundreds of shirts and caps, which had been manufactured in advance to celebrate the Patriots' expected victory over the New York Giants, were handed over to children in the southern city of Diriamba.
"The children are the winners," said Miriam Diaz, of World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization.
World Vision has links with the National Football League, or NFL, and every year helps out poor children in Latin America and Africa with the unwanted "winners" shirts of the team that actually loses the Super Bowl.
Winners' shirts and other garments are produced in advance so players and fans can put them on to celebrate immediately after the final whistle of the game. Garments of the losing team are obviously unwanted.
The Giants stunned the previously undefeated Patriots 17-14 in this year's Super Bowl.

I was getting some songs tonight and I came across an old song that I hadn't heard for some time. This last week I had a couple of events that made me cry and I kind of needed a song like this to remind me that those little things are not that important. Besides I did have a really good and full weekend. I went to a goodbye party for a co-worker which meant getting really drunk. I had just recovered (slightly) from the night when my sister and nieces came up to spend the night. We kind of hunkered down and they went to bed early and got up early (before 6 AM) in preparation for Taylor's cheer competition at the Arena. Samantha and I hung out at my apartment and then later went to Enchanted and a quick trip to the library and then back to my apartment. It is kind of nice to just bum around with my niece without having to travel. That is the sucky thing about not living in town with them anymore. It did make my day to have her not want to leave my apartment when it was time to go. I am still up and have been since 6 AM Sunday. My eyes are closing as I type. Anyway-- here's the lyrics to the song.
Ships That Don't Come In- Joe Diffie
I could tell he'd had a tough life
By the way he sat and stared
And me, I'd come to push and shove
So I pulled up a chair.
We talked of roads untraveled
We talked of love untrue
Of strings that come unraveled
We were kings and kindred fools
And just when I'd hit bottom
That old man raised his glass
And said at least we had our chances
There's those who never have.
So here's to all the soldiers
Who have ever died in vain
The insane locked up in themselves
The homeless down on Main
To those who stand on empty shores
And spit against the wind
And those who wait forever
For ships that don't come in.
He said it's only life's illusions
That bring us to this bar
To pick up these old crutches
And compare each other's scars
'Cuz the things we're calling heartache
Hell, they're hardly worth our time
We bitch about a dollar
When there's those without a dime.
And as he ordered one last round
He said I guess we can't complain
God made life a gamble
And we're still in the game.
So here's to all the soldiers
Who have ever died in vain
The insane locked up in themselves
The homeless down on Main
To those who stand on empty shores
And spit against the wind
And those who wait forever
For ships that don't come in.
I'm totally feeling that way right now. It sucks.
I didn't get the job. I got a nice phone call telling me. I've been crying all morning. I'm trying to get it all out so I don't cry at work. I've been just down on myself and I just need to get over it. I keep trying to focus on the positive-- but today it just isn't helping.
Cover your eyes! John Mayer put on the now infamous suit from Borat while on his Mayercraft. I really shouldn't like it-- but I do!
It's from ONTD and here is the link

I hope that today is not an indicator on how the rest of the week will go. I went to work this morning- thankfully not early in the morning- and I drove way too far before I realizied that I had a flat tire. It wasn't just flat- it was shredded.
So I got the car dragged by a tow truck to a tire store and went to work- albiet thirty minutes late. I also didn't get picked up by the shuttle car for over thirty minutes because they went to the wrong business. It was craziness and of course expensiveness. I'm ready to do nothing- but I do have to go and pay rent tonight.
I also find out on Wednesday if I got a new job at work. I'm crossing my fingers, but I'm prepared if it just doesn't work out that way.
Did everyone see Paula Abdul's 'performance' at the Super Bowl? It was prerecorded- but I think she did damn fine. Hell of a lot better than I would have thought.
I had a dream last night and I don't remember the specifics but I do remember that I was doing drugs specifically cocaine. Of course I don't have any actual experience with doing so, and I think I based it on all the images I have seen of it. I looked it up on the dream dictionary and here is what it says about cocaine in dreams.
---To dream that you are taking cocaine, indicates that you are feeling empty and devoid of emotions. You are looking to get out of your commitments or denying your responsibilities. You lack ambition. On a more positive note, the dream may be telling you that you need to be more lively and energetic.---
I have been given new opportunities lately when it comes to work and other parts of my life. So I am choosing to see it as more of the second part of the explanation.
I have had some strange dreams lately. An earlier one- about two weeks ago- I dreamed about mice and rats.
Mice=
To see mice in your dream, symbolizes domestic problems, business loss, deceit, and insincere friends. It represents minor problems in which you are spending too much time dwelling on.
To dream that you kill a mouse, signifies that you will overcome your rivals.
Rats=
To see rats in your dream, signifies feelings of doubts, guilt and/or envy. You are having unworthy thoughts that you are keeping to yourself but are eating you up inside. Alternatively, it denotes repulsion. The dream may also be a pun on someone who is a rat.
It was more mice than rats though.
I love remembering dreams and seeing into them. I believe that you remember some of them for a reason.
