verbminxSo, being broke, I decided to eschew the They Might Be Giants show tonight (*wistful sigh*) to watch the Oscars with the momster. Weirdly... while I read McSweeney's, since issue 2 or 3 on paper and since way before that on the web, I'm not sure I dig the Eggersization of TMBG ("a better idea is not to be had in all the 13 states"). I just got my TMQ #6(?) with the TMBG soundtrack cd in back, but I haven't listened to the cds yet. Chris Ware's cartoon in it is great. Vintage tragic irony... now in children's sizes!
So. Yes. The red carpet show is on. Joan Rivers, upon whom I regularly wish death and destruction, is officiating officiously. I have no predictions. I'll be rooting for the three-hour AD&D campaign to rack up as many awards as possible. For supporting actor, particularly, since not only is McKellen a wiz, he is also an openly gay man who was given away with hamburgers all across the United States. Please don't give anything else to the boozy shaving-challenged boor known as Russell Crowe.
I went and picked up my new glasses today. They are... odd. But good. Smaller than my last pair... almost like emo girl retro nerd specs, except... lightweight dark bronze metal (titanium? aluminium?). I'll post pics for friends. I also looked for an issue of ReadyMade (a new crafts mag with a sort of urban/hipster bent), but was unable to find it at the two bookstores I checked (which, hey, saved me my last three dollars). I guess the first issue is sold out or something, and a new one will come soon?
note: why yes, the new glasses and the new mcsweeney's do have something to do with the brokeness. although... my mom, also now broke, bought the glasses, and i charged the mcsweeney's cos it's collectable and, i think, a decent investment.
