i quit smoking cold turkey on the 9th, and have actually only been outside once since (to get groceries). in fact, i've basically been bed-ridden for the last two and a half weeks. i'm very serious about it this time, so i'm just restricting myself to zero-stress activities like reading and typing. i think i should be able to get out of bed at about the month point. so, it may have sat in my mail box for a few days...

Good for you I am very glad to hear you are quitting,not only for your health but also it is such a waste of money.I have recently switched my services from rogers to bell,mostly because of the fees.I am saving $90.00 per month so not small change!I hope you are up & about again now.I had to buy a new printer & got a different brand'' Epson'', I really wished you were here to set it up for me,as you know how lame i can be around electronics.your mother came over to do the job & got everything running smoothly.When you get to be my age technology becomes a problem.Must run now, Leo is picking me up to go shopping.Bye Bye.

what are the oscars? what do they measure? what does it mean when somebody gets an oscar?
jada seems to be approaching the issue from the same lens as kayne was - that the oscars actually legitimately reflect excellency in the field of acting. so, to get an oscar is a form of recognition for that excellence. jada seems to be upset for the same reason as kanye, which is also the same reason nicki minaj was upset - they felt they produced something excellent and they should be acknowledged for that excellence. they think they won the talent show, kind of thing, and it's an injustice that they are (or their preferred choice is) being ignored.
(audience laughter)
vivian, here, seems to be taking a different perspective - namely that the oscars are a kind of promotional tool, and should be awarded not based on total excellency but on more of a needs-based basis. that is, they should go to the actors that demonstrate the best potential and need the most exposure. to vivian, the oscars should be used as a way to establish a career.
their different deductions come from their different perspectives.
if you think the oscars are all about massaging your own ego, it follows that they should only go to established icons - and so it must be all about acknowledgement. the obvious racial biases that exist across all american institutions become a clear reason to boycott the institution; because, from that perspective, it is truly all about reaching the top of a hierarchy. yet, if you think the oscars are to be seen as a launching pad that has little reflection on actual performance or actual talent, then that logic makes no sense - winning an oscar is just another public relations tactic.
so, who is right?
i'm leaning towards vivian. but, not because the oscars are racist; rather, because the oscars have no artistic credibility. if they had any credibility at all, i would agree with jada. but, they don't. so, i agree with vivian.
