Back In Business!!!

Well I've been sick and had zero motivation to write. I believe that's the sign of a true professional. One who does not work when he is sick. Feeling a bit better now, if you're wondering. Not perfect though. Apparently this flu bug's been flyin' around LA at hyperspeed and I'm the only one that didn't know it...

For the first time in a number of years, the Academy Awards were NOT a total letdown. I actually laughed a decent number of times. When I say decent, I can be no more specific because I haven't yet defined a numbered value for that word in my own life. Worry not. As soon as I do, every lucky reader of this blog(zero), will have the good fortune of new knowledge.

Back to the Awards. The one problem I've had in recent years has been "their" decision to show the entire audience and thus make the theater feel small. Frankly, that kinda annoys me. Its like spelling everything out in a movie or over-explaining a joke(which I often do). If I were to speculate, and that's exactly what I'm doing, I'd say they want TV viewers to feel more "connected" to the stars. I don't like that. I like NOT seeing the entire theater, because then I'm left to imagine what's going on throughout the place, how big it is, and my imagination is always far bigger than any architect would ever be allowed to dream.
