Interrogatories
What are your favorite condiments? What are your least favorite? Have you hung on to any pieces of clothing from your younger days that you just cannot bring yourself to let go of, and if so, what? Are you more comfortable in cities, suburbs, or the country? Do you prefer solitude or being with people?
The Twitter Emitter
Since the Twitter feed last night was dominated by Oscar stuff, most of these are about the show, but I tried to pick ones you’d get if you didn’t watch. I think you can tell from most of these that once again, people were not impressed with the host (Seth MacFarlane). I will go on record saying that Oscar needs to steal Amy Poehler and Tina Fey from the Golden Globes.
Congrats to Argo for winning the Daytona 500.

Jindal: “GOP can win w/out pandering to women or gays. We just have to convince people that greed and war are better than choice and love.”

Watching the Oscars is an exciting night for so many children of celebrities because they actually get to see their parents.

Can’t wait for “In Memoriam: The GOP.” Hope they use a screenshot of Bush from Fahrenheit 9/11. #Oscars

People in some countries don’t even watch the Oscars on account of how they hate freedom and are looking for food and safety.

Ridiculous that Mitt Romney’s 47 percent video didn’t make best short film.

I think they’re about to call in Mitt Romney to save the 2013 Oscars.

I am annoyed at everyone who is annoyed at all the people who are annoyed at someone at the Oscars who might or might not be annoying.
