I've written before about how we tend to keep our kidlets a little sheltered.  They are five and seven and there's plenty of time for growing up. J. has been finding random videos of the girls when they were littler and they are so sweet and tiny, so precious and innocent, that they make me cry every time I watch them. He thinks it's weird that they make me cry, but they do. Almost to the point where it hurts to watch them.

My mom emailed me a couple of days ago with a request. Blog about "how much we love Steve Jobs and what he did for us," she wrote. "Do it before he leaves us."

[img_assist|fid=3337|thumb=1|alt=a300] Tonight, the hubs and I went to see 300, the movie adaptation of the graphic novel by Frank Miller (Sin City). The title refers to 300 Spartans led into battle against a much more formidable Persian army (The Battle of Thermopylae, 480 B.C.) by King Leonidas of Sparta.

[img_assist|fid=3176|thumb=1|alt=arachel] Join me tonight as I "live blog" the 79th Annual Academy Awards. I've settled in on the couch with a glass of red wine and a pile of crudité and I'm watching the "pre-game show" on E! Pull up a seat, won't you! (All times PST) Leading up to the awards, it's all about "Who are you wearing?"

Sure, I'll be covering who wins the awards, but that will be interspersed with lots of talk about who looks good and who should fire their stylist.

[img_assist|fid=3071|thumb=1|alt=adrewbarrymore|caption=drew barrymore hugh grant] Right off the bat let me say that I am an unapologetic Hugh Grant fan. Ditto for Drew Barrymore. So when I first read that the "King and Queen of the Romantic Comedy" were going to be in a movie together, I knew I'd see it. Even if, on paper, it didn't seem like they'd have any chemistry together. Isn't he too old? Isn't she too young? What could funky, quirky Drew have in common with droll, interminably uncomfortable Hugh? Turns out lots.
