Down in SoCal







On the Southern California front, Oscar(tm) day began with a growing sense of anticipation. Mythos was so excited, he knocked over the napkin basket. Actually he knocks over the napkin basket whenever it gets on his nerves, which happens about once a week. Lily took some time out from rolling on her new kitti condo while trying to attack her tail to check out the pre-Oscar(tm) festivities.

Brindle took the opportunity for a good scratch as she made her final Oscar(tm) predictions -- she's a HUGE fan of The Queen because she believes it's autobiographical. Rascal was just honored to be nominated. He also put in an emergency call for a facial. Fuser was so excited, he had to start drinking first thing in the morning (him and Peter O'Toole) before he turned to his personal trainer for a pre-Oscar workout.

Of course the unanimous favorite is Little Miss Sunshine because the hotel scenes and the pier were all shot in Ventura. In fact, we may just take the highway entrance made famous in the film (remember the part when they can see the hotel while the road curves away from it? That's the entrance onto the 101 from downtown Ventura.) Whenever we take it, we start yelling at the hotel fading away the way they did the the movie. We don't, however, get out and make a running jump into the car, although Rascal has been know to make a running jump OUT of the car when he got too excited to be at the beach and jumped out the window. (He wasn't hurt)
