Golden

Woke up this morning and watched as they announced the nominations. It was great since Ellen was on the Today show doing an interview when they cut away to the live broadcast. Quentin (an apparent Juno fan – seen it twice) raised his fist when he read Diablo’s name for best screenplay. All told, what an awesome morning. When Ellen got back to the hotel, I gave her a big hug.

As a little celebration, please find below some fun clips I’ve been sent recently

Oh… and someone asked recently why I only fly United. This is a longer conversation, but it comes down to two things.

1. I am brand loyal like CRAZY. Coke not Pepsi. Nike not Reebok. Mann Village not the Grauman’s Chinese. I would rather walk than fly American Airlines, or God forbid Northwest or shutter-to-think Southwest.
2. I have built up enough status on United, that I upgrade every time and am treated really well. Seriously, my current membership gives me a phone number without an automated machine. I just call and someone picks up the phone and solves all my problems.
