… The Oscar noms have been announced. Here’s the list on ScreenCrave. I’ll have more on this later after I’ve cine-binged and have more to say on the topic. (Downey Jr.? Really?)

… Today, for me, is a half day. To say I’m looking forward to my trip to Sydney is an understatement. But so is saying I’m not excited about the travel. Here’s how I imagine the trip going:

  • Depart to Chicago, 3.30p today. Finish one book because it’s written at a third-grade reading level (Left Behind series… heard of it?)
  • Fly to San Francisco. Hustle desperately for connecting flight with only an hour betwixt.
  • Fly to Sydney. Finish another book, pace incessantly, twitch uncontrollably, cry incrementally and murmur gibberish constantly.
  • Arrive in Sydney, 8a Sunday. Wobble off the plane on atrophied legs, kiss the ground and start greeting everyone with “g’day mate!” in a terrible British accent.

Return trip:

  • Repeat the above, in backward order, replacing SFO with LAX and doing it all within one day. End with crushing jet-lag.

… Because of the above, posts next week will be sparse or non-existent. No apologies, just like last time.
