The TV thingie says it’s over in 3 hours. That’s still too long.

But it’s cold and overcast here in L.A. so I got out this morning to have some Eggs Benedict at a favorite restaurant then settled in at 11 AM watching E Channel’s pre-Oscar overage.

The dress Goldie hawn is wearing is not age appropriate and she’s a little too lumpy to be wearing anything so bare.
