Batgirl Says, "Perform your breast self-exam every month!"

I came across this Googling for pix of Yvonne Craig as Batgirl, and it was too good a joke to pass up.

Tile Cutting

As arcana_j can attest, I was cutting tile today. After exploring the options in Dremel bits (Pfui), I went back to the floor tile blade in the trusty table saw. I figured I could at least cut the straight pieces that have been marked since early fall.
I found out that with a little patience and finesse, I could make curved cuts, too. First, by cutting off, as close the curve as possible, extra tile. Then, raising the blade and using it to nibble out and rough sand the curve. I finished slightly rough edges with a tile sander. (Which looks like a bit of rough miniature chainlink fence.)
And what a mess I was after. Hurrah for eye protection and a dust mask. Every bit of my front was covered in red dust. Some got in my eyes even with the protection. I rinsed off my legs and arms with the hose, and went inside to wash my hair. Rinsing my hair, it looked like I'd just colored it, the water and suds ran orange. Scrubbing my face with a cloth, I found red on my hairline, and behind and IN my ears.

And I have funny-colored boogers. You were so going to ask.

All the damn tile I have been avoiding is now cut, AND I've taught myself a new skill. Go me!

I'm at an Oscar Party!

I mean, it's at my home, I'm in a white lintless shirt for doing polymer, but dammit I'm clean of tile dust and I had homemade hot and sour and Thai iced tea and I'm watching, SO I'M AT AN OSCAR PART-TEE!

So far:
Jennifer Aniston, I SAW YOU Rachel-twitch that eyebrow when you thought you couldn't be seen. You ungracious, -over-lucky bint.
The opening animation thing was fun.
The opening of hosts turning down the hosting job was great. I wanted George Clooney to just HAVE ME.
Jon Stewart was going Letterman at first, but got the measure of his audience and is not sucking.
George Clooney's reactions are priceless. That man is so charismatic.
Gay cowboy montage: Pants-peeing funny.
Dolly Parton. I think she should become a franchise so she lives forever, like Elvis.
Ton Hanks demonstrating how winners would get played off the stage, complete with exploding violin. Lovely.
WALLACE AND GROMIT, YEAAAAAY! Park and Box putting teeny matching bowties on the statues made my toes curl with happiness.
Nicole Kidman really should've worn a wig, or gotten a weave or something. Years of not eating has really punished her head.
The doc winner who thasnked the Academy for seating her next to Clooney at the nominee's luncheon! BWWAAAAH.
March of the Penguins guys with toy penguins: EEEEEK DESTROYED by teh cute.
God, Jessica Alba. BLEAGHHHHHH.
Clearly, Salma Hayak's left breast did something VERY VERY BAD, but she couldn't make it stay at home for the night, so she punished it with a dress that smooshed it, while making her right breast look very nice. I think letting her right breast have a good time while her left breast was choking was going a little too far with the discipline.

Last, boy did I have a Anne Reinking, "Under the Sea", Lou Rawls I Got a Tale to Tell Ya Baby, "Never Had a Friend Like ME" flashback when Kathleen York was performing "In the Deep." There were Shaun of the Dead extras wandering around a flaming car-b-que. REAL FIRE and fake smoke. REAL BAD.

Okay, I did not expect to like "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp."
