For what? You didn’t win anything!! Well, that’s true, but I want to thank them for hosting the awards this evening — an annual event I enjoy every year :). Unfortunately, I saw very few of the movies because they were so grisly. I did see Juno and was pleased Diablo Cody won the writing award. A couple of other Twin Citians did well, too (the Coens).
This afternoon I went to the MKG Tea and had a wonderful time. Met some new peeps and ran into some people I have not seen in AGES (15-25 years to be exact). Wow — flashback time. It goes to prove that knitting is a way to bring people together. We had a 7-year old there (Anna) who has been knitting since last October — taught by her grandmother and attending her first Guild meeting. How cool is that?
I loved Juno so I’m pleased to hear it won an award. I also gave most of the other films a miss as I’m far too squeamish and way too cheap to pay to see a movie when I spend most of it hiding my eyes!!!
And I am woefully behind on my blog reading — I missed your Lyra update! It’s looking great.

….it is very cool indeed to see someone so young learning how to knit….somehow, in the backwater of South Coastal Georgia, i didn’t even hear about some of the films that were nominated….go figure….but we watched anyway…..we loved the mermaid dress on the french actress who played Edith Piaf….very pretty….

Susan- I did see “No Country for Old Men”- and it was a great movie. I love the Coen
brothers- but it was violent. Tommy Lee Jones played a great part.
