Watching the 81st Annual Oscars in Maine


Last night Amy of Transparent had the kids in bed 10 minutes early, a pan of brownies and was ready for the Oscars. She thought the pull back to the big bands, the 30's styling and patterns were wonderful. It seems Hugh Jackman was determined that everyone have a good time, quite a showman. The five presenters for the five nominees was fresh and that's what the Oscars needed: a serious overhaul. She was happy picking apart the big Oscars screen having an annoying defect= a vertical line in the middle of it....until the lights and t.v. in her house started flickering. Then the images would freeze and so she waited and waited. Then complained to the cable company, repeatly! Finally she could watch with no sound for a half hour.

Then the power went out.
