A hello to my blog

Today i just felt like typing up random things in a public venue. So here goes. For the second year in a row, we watched all ten of the oscar best picture nominees. We saw the final one a few days ago, and just now I had us type up our individual lists- in order from favorite (#1) to least favorite (#10). They ended up being almost the same: 

  Mine: 1. king's speech 2. the fighter 3. toy story 3 4. social network 5. The kids are all right 6. true grit 7. black swan 8. 127 hours 9. inception 10. winter's bone 

  Aaron's: 1. The King’s Speech 2. Toy Story 3 3. True Grit 4. The Social Network 5. The Fighter 6. The Kids Are All Right 7. Black Swan 8. Inception 9. 127 Hours 10. Winter's Bone 

  Yes. It looks like we both really disliked 'winter's bone' and loved 'king's speech'. But who didn't, sí?

 I recently skyped for the first time & i think it's changed my life. not a hyperbole. Of course, meagan turning into a fish (etc, etc.) didn't hurt, either: Skype is what i always thought of as a kid as something that would happen in the 'future'. Like, wouldn't that be crazy if we could see the other person we're talking to on the phone? Now it's happened. Ok well it happened like 5 years ago but I'm really behind the rest of the world, techno-wise.

 Today is saturday. We slept in. It is chilly. But the spring buds are awakening.
