Whatever geek or geeks were responsible for writing Microsoft bCentral's FastCounter programme, apparently forgot to account for leap year. February 29 really seems to have frelled with its mind. Anyway...
What a fine Oscar ceremony! It's been some time since I've been so pleased with the results, and longer still since my "wish list" wasn't entirely off the mark. Of my seventeen wishes, thirteen were granted. Maybe that's a good omen for the year to come. As for the four wishes that went the other way, even then I couldn't argue with the results (though I am disappointed that Bill Murray didn't win). Of course, I am appropriately pleased to see The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King take home all eleven Oscars for which it was nominated. Beyond the fact that LotR was entirely deserving, the Academy has finally acknowledged fantasy. Perhaps this will make it a little easier for science-fiction and fantasy films to garner Oscar recognition.
Today, it's back to "Rappaccini's Dragon." A thousand words, at least. This is what is required of me today.
