Why didn’t anyone ever tell me:
– that white and dark meat are both found on a chicken? At Russ’s Market deli counter one morning I embarrassed myself silly by asking for both a white and dark chicken breast. (What? Whadda mean there aren’t Caucasian and African chickens!?!)
– that your tonsils are not the hanging-downy thing in the back of your throat? I just located their true position about a year ago.
– that your pupils can’t get larger if you stare directly into someone else’s eyes? (Don’t ask where I got this crazy idea from. Fortunately this myth was dispelled BEFORE I reached adulthood.)

Why does it take us so long to turn to the Lord in prayer, to be honest in conversation with Him?

Adrien Brody, Nicole Kidman — fantastic! And Eminem… way to go! : )

The entire show went much more smoothly than I had expected. And apart from Michael Moore’s low-class, rebel-rousing speech, I felt as though everyone supported our troops and the ultimate goal of peace. The pins were not at all a big deal. Great show, lovely Oscars. The beautiful people indeed looked beautiful. Thanks to the Koenigs for the optimal viewing experience and to Bethany for all the stimulating movie conversations. I’d like to thank my manager and my agent, and mom and pop who always supported me…

I just read an article about how some celebrities are planning to wear “peace” pins during the Oscars to protest the war. I will be intensely annoyed if an Oscar winner rails against our troops and President Bush during his/her moment of glory. So annoyed, in fact, that I would probably turn off the television. It occurred to me… We (the general American public) don’t care as much for celebrities as people as we care about them as actors. We like the personas they create for the big screen. So please, Hollywood A-listers, drop the freaking pin and keep your comments related to your work.

I’d like to take a moment to thank Bobby Anti-Blog for his helpful comments posted on my last entry. In fact, Bob, how’d you like to add a post or two to the new Tredways site? I imagine all my avid readers are thrilled at the prospect of soon reading your insights. By the way, how is school going after spring break? I heard today that you enjoyed a lovely lunch with an old friend… And that your house is a pit. Good thing you don’t bring the ladies home, huh?

Quotes from Saddam this evening: “American Zionist Alliance will be defeated. War is crime against humanity.” Bobbo… thoughts?

May God watch over our troops today — may He be drawing those who don’t know Him to Himself. Special prayers for safety for our friend Rob Nickeson.

Okay, I’ll admit it. I am pretty much entranced by reality television. I’m not talking skanky junk like “Temptation Island” or “Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire.” (Uh, anyone else notice Fox’s trend towards low-morality entertainment?) So I’m sitting on my couch, watching “All American Girl” and am surprised by a few things. One, why is British chicky Ginger Spice a judge??? How ridiculous is that? And two, why do they make the final judging round such a cruel and torturous event?? It’s like everything you hated about waiting to be picked for teams in 7th grade P.E. classes. Then again, why allow yourself to be scrutinized in such a manner?!

Spring is my favorite time of the year,
When the sky is nice, so blue and clear.
The flowers bloom out and go all about,
Spring is my favorite time of the year!
