Just a Best Of kind of guy

Gonna watch the Oscars this Sunday?

I am! I wouldn't miss it for all the mongooses in Mongolia! It'll be the most exciting, star-studded, hilarious, suspenseful, and emotional 6 minutes you'll ever see. How could I resist?

That's the YouTube version, of course. I suppose ABC will be broadcasting the whole grueling 18 hours (19 if anyone decides to thank their assistant hairdresser and discuss the politics of conflict-free diamonds) but who's got that kind of time? I just want to see the three or four high points -- the opening sequence, the one classy speech, the one funny speech, and the one startling, unscripted moment that everyone will talk about -- and I'll watch 'em the next morning over my cereal, just like I did last year. Sorry, Ellen.

More...

(Yes, I've gone back to a weekly column format, although I'm keeping on the blog site so people can leave comments)
(I said, so people can leave comments. Ahem.)

I noticed I was posting less and less, and wanting to say more and more, so what the heck. It was an experiment.

Turns out that while I have dozens of blogs I visit on a regular basis, I'm not interested in keeping one full myself.

Really? I guess I follow one blog pretty religiously.
