Culture QotD: Oscar Fashion

Who was best-dressed at this year's Academy Awards? Worst-dressed?

My favourites:

 

2009 Academy Awards - Freida Pinto

Some of the people covering the fashion at the awards said that Freida's dress looked old lady-ish, but I don't think they understand that the dress is styled after a tradition Indian dress, and is therefore entirely appropriate, and one of the most beautiful of the night, I thought (but hey, I love Indian fashion, so I'm biased).

 

 

2009 Academy Awards - Vanessa Hudgens & Zac Efron

I loved Vanessa's dress - classic, elegant black and a cute flower accent. It was definitely something I would wear in a second!

 

2009 Academy Awards - Miley Cyrus

This dress was either loved or hated - I love it! I think it is so princess-y and yet so unique and elegant.

Culture QotD: Bad Manners Pet Peeve

What is your "bad manners" pet peeve?

Definitely has to be when a person gets up to get something and someone takes their chair or spot on the couch, etc. That bugs me to no end.

QotD: First Day of Daylight Savings

Daylight Savings Time started at 2:00 a.m. today. What's your favorite thing about having more light later in the day?

Nothing. There's no Daylight Savings Time in Saskatchewan, although I kind of wish there was. I wish there was some way to get more daylight, because it's really annoying when the sun comes up at 9:00 and sets at 6:00, especially when you're a person whose energy level depends on how much sunlight there is.

QotD: ...On Ice

If you could see any movie, tv show, play or sporting event "on ice," what would you choose to see performed on ice skates?

Feat. Ent. Question: The Undead on the Silver Screen

Twilight, the movie based on the young adult vampire/romance novel, is out in theaters. Are you planning on seeing it?

Twilight

I've seen the movie twice, and I've bought and finished all four books. My fiance is almost done them as well. I am in love with the movie and with Edward. I think I'm ready to go see it again. :p

The best part is that seeing the movie inspired me to write again. I've been working on a series of novels basically since I was twelve. Although I stopped writing for a long time, I have never forgotten the story and it has stayed fresh and evolving in my mind ever since. Through watching the Twilight movie, I remembered how I wanted my writing to make people feel, how I wanted it to come to life, how I wanted it to be full of passion.

HOLYCRAP.

 

One time when I was 10 or something, I made a snowman with a dog head and I put two snowballs on the front of it so that it would look like the dog was sitting back with his paws up. I couldn't understand why my cousins kept laughing at it.
