Anyone know where a cat can get a decent egg salad sandwich in town? I went to the place where I was sure there'd be one, only to discover I was wrong.

Or, better yet, anyone have a recipe for a egg salad? The one I tried a couple of weeks ago was, in a word, icky.

So, I went to go see "There Will be Blood" this weekend, just before the Oscars. As a big PT Anderson fan, I thought it was a good film and that Daniel Day Lewis was excellent.

Unfortunately, I think that was almost the only film I saw this year that was up for an Oscar. Anyone see any of the others? I'm dying to see "No Country for Old Men" since I'm a big Coen brothers fan, but haven't gotten to it yet. And "Michael Clayton" since I can stare at George Clooney all day  *sigh*

Were they worthy, or not worth the effort? Anything out there flying under the radar that I should be on the lookout for?

What are your picks? Mine are:

  • The Fisher King (still love it)
  • While You Were Sleeping
  • High Fidelity
  • Chasing Amy
  • Shadowlands
  • Out of Africa

C'mon and play along...

So, am I the only one who found the ads that were run at this year's Super Bowl just a little creepy? I mean, I've got the bar set pretty low in terms of what I think makes a good ad, but a number of the ads that were shown just seemed mean-spirited / unfunny / weird.

Or am I just too old?

I'm curious, given all of the political-type discussions that take place here.

How many of you fellow bloggers are planning to vote in the primary? It seems like a lot of people think the primary is not important enough to vote in, and are only planning to turn out for the general election in November.

I'm a political nut, so not only will I be voting, I might have to leave work early so I can be at home and all settled in before the polls close on the East coast. I love it!

It seems almost certain that the government is planning to send out checks as a way to try and give the economy a little boost. I think all they're waiting on now is a decision on who's getting what, since seniors living on Social Security have recently been added to the recipeint list.

So, with the checks all but on their way, how do you plan on spending yours? For me, I might buy a couple of items for the house that I've been putting off. I'll also give a bump to a couple of my favorite charities, since I consider it found money, and in my book, found money that is shared multiplies.

Anyone else have plans already?
