this and that: new layout // oscars // food // karneval
i have a new layout! which you don't notice if you comment on this entry because i currently have comments set to default, but do check it out if you please :D. i love that it's clean and simple, yet has these splashes of color here and there. i made the header, and i'm so pleased with it. with the colors especially. it also represents all my current fandom loves ♥

the academy awards are tonight, and i plan to enjoy them from the first moment on the red carpet to the after-party coverage. i've been watching the oscars every year since 1990 and i love everything about them. in the time before the interwebs, i used to type up a list of who won what every year so i could remember. it seems so odd now that you wouldn't just have access to that kind of information, but short of buying a magazine or maybe a book, you wouldn't.
it makes me sad that i haven't seen any of the movies that are nominated for best picture, but i really haven't been to the movies very much lately. i definitely want to see milk, though.
~~~
i tried another new recipe last night! i made bbq chicken in the crockpot and it came out all kinds of yummy. it could have been spicier, though, and i wonder if that is due to bbq sauce i used. do you have any favorites where bbq sauces are concerned?

cathexys linked to this video, which features a fake!german!obama during one of the big televised carneval shows. it's so weird. i think german carneval in general is weird even if you've grown up with it.

it's gray and rainy outside, which makes me think of my latest fic, and especially of bradley jogging through bankside early in the morning, kanye west on his ipod, and wondering why he had that spectacular row with colin last night...
