Tangled – Sweet movie. Should’ve been nominated for Best Animated Picture.
Don’t forget the Oscars are on Sunday night! I’m prepared for triumph and disappointment. Inception will get further shafted and How to Train Your Dragon will lose. And it will be WAY too long...
Monday - The Super 8 Debut Albums Blogfest!
