ICLW - Day 3

For an intro to my blog, please see my post here.

Greetings from sunny but verrrry cold Boston! Up here to teach a class at my alma mater on real estate investment. Specifically, I'll be talking about tools once can use to turn bad deals into good ones.

Let me say a big "Yay!" for the expected but hopeful win of Slumdog Millionaire for Best Picture. I watched the show till I fell asleep, somewhere around Best Song (yay "Jive Ho"!).

Sarah Jessica Parker, please meet me at Camera 1. Dude, you are 42. You were not getting married last night. When James Bond has to give you a wide berth due to your dress, it's too large. Stop this nonsense. Thank you.

And now for the blogs...

Erica said...: LOL!! I totally agree with you on the Sarah Jessica dress. Pretty heinous.
I loved Slumdog and actually sat at a lunch table today with two women who were pissed that so many "non-Americans" won. One of them specifically said, Slumdog should have been in the foreign film's category only. One nomination! Was she kidding me? I had to say something. I couldn't help myself. Ignorant Americans are the WORST!
Enjoy your time in Boston. :)

Anonymous said...: Have not seen Slumdog yet - but am dying to watch it!

I hated Sarah's dress as well - but more the point what was Goldie Hawn thinking??? Those puppies were escaping in a not good way!

Also, what was UP with all the bridal gown dresses? Penny Cruz had the same issue!
