Is your server down? Yeah, mine was too.

Why this title one may ask? I'll tell you. For the past, what, 2 or 3 months, I have tried and tried again and again to update this little blog. Unfortunately, my computer is being a butt. It won't let me on to Blogger! Or Pandora, Gmail, an Elf name generator (don't ask, please) and other such random sites. Finally, our network was fixed. It still didn't work. But then, we got a new family computer. Guess this is where I update now!

As for what has happened in between my last update and this one, let me touch up. The Saints won the Superbowl, which I couldn't be more happy about. My sister is a law student at Tulane in New Orleans, she said they got out of school. Speaking of her, she started a blog, which you can check out (An Escapist's Guide to the Movies). The short-course season ended in swimming, which you all probably care nothing about. And, my personal favorite: THE OSCARS!

So as for who won what, I won't post everything. Just the movies I want to talk about (These are not listed in order):

• Best Picture - The Hurt Locker
• Best Director - Kathryn Bigelow (For the Hurt Locker)
• Sound Mixing - Hurt Locker
• Sound Editing - The Hurt Locker
• Actress in a Leading Role - Sandra Bullock (For the Blind Side)
• Art Direction - Avatar
• Cinematography - Avatar
• Visual Effects - Avatar

I haven't seen the Hurt Locker, so I won't say anything negative, but I will say that I was hoping for Avatar to get at least best picture. However, it got 3 Oscars, so I was happy. I will admit, I wasn't expecting Sandra Bullock to get best actress. I thought it would go to Meryll Streep. I never thought I would see the day when Sandra Bullock got an Oscar but here it is.

So tell me your let downs, expectations, and hits, cause I'm interested!

P.S. I know that last line sounded corny. I couldn't help it.
