On a site note, I've finally caught up with House! Can't wait for the next episode. Now only Prison Break and Doctor Who left. I hope I can do it before vacations end.

It's impressive how I love to kid myself.

Maracanã is the biggest Public stadium in the world... I really don't know why I know this (maybe 'cause I'm a soccer freak, or something ;-P), but I do, so.... There you go! :-)
As for the Oscars... Well, I really hope Helen Mirren wins. I saw The Queen last year and went to see it again this week. I was hoping that The Queen would win best picture too, but I know it won't. As for best actor, Leo is not going to win, this one has Forest Withaker written all over it, and for a very good reason. The guy was simply AMAZING in The Last King of Scotland.

So, I wasn't sure it still was. But, what do you mean by "public stadium"? Forgive my ignorance, but... are there "private stadiums"? I thought they were all owned by the government.

God, I loved Forest Withaker in The Last King of Scotland, and even more because I had just been to Tanzania -- really close to Uganda -- and his accent was perfect, and so was his Swahili (the few times he spoke the language). God, fantastic. I hope he wins.

Yes there are many private stadiums around the world, and some of them bigger than Maracanã! :-)

I hope Forest wins too, he deserve it.

You like bowling, don't you, Montag?

If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. If the government is inefficient, topheavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel like they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy.
