Jan. 24th, 2025 02:48 pm1. Have you taken notice of which films are nominated for Oscars this year? Yeah, I looked yesterday when I saw the nominations had been released
2. Do you plan to watch the Oscars ceremony? Probably not..maybe on YouTube if a movie I like wins something. I feel like it's not the same anymore..I loved it when the Lord of the Rings movies came out and ROTK kept winning the awards..that was fun haha
3. How many of this year's Oscar nominated films have you seen? I've seen Dune: Part Two, Wicked and The Wild Robot. Most of the other nominations I haven't even heard of
4. Do you plan to see more/any of the Oscar nominated films before the Oscars ceremony? Probably not
5. Do you generally seek out and watch the film that wins Best Picture? If it seems interesting..some I've already seen before the Oscars though
Today I woke up and was surprised to see it was 39 degrees outside! I was very surprised to walk outside and see that it was raining! The roads/sidewalks were SUPER slippery! I walked like an old lady to work LOL, and came very close to falling once or twice..I was literally flailing standing on one leg and have no idea how I stayed upright haha! Vicki and Lucie were there, and we were going to wait to see if any customers came in, but once Lucie saw the school district and other places were closed, she decided we'd be closed too (we'd get PTO for today). Usually I hear about ice storms like this a couple days ahead, but heard nothing this time..weird. We're also supposed to get 1-5 inches of snow. Work might be closed tomorrow too then, but Vicki will decide tomorrow (I heard somewhere in Florida got 7 inches of snow?!? They close for being too cold and snowy, we close because it's too warm! Haha). Next week it's supposed to get cold again, with the low around -30..Alaska weather is crazy this year! :P
I just found out Howard, who I worked with for many years, passed away yesterday at the age of 94. I actually watched him decline through the years, which was sad..he eventually couldn't work anymore because he had a bunch of strokes and it took him a few minutes to put a single sentence together. Unless we told him to stay home, he ALWAYS came in, even if his car went off the road, the roads were icy, he was sick, etc..he would have come in even if the apocalypse was happening haha. He was always so nice and pleasant and had a great smile. He was well-known in the community, everyone on Facebook has been saying great things about him. His legacy and kindness will not be forgotten!

18. Places you enjoy visiting: Valdez, England, Santa Fe, Meares Glacier, etc
19. How do you cope with worry? Not very well lol..I stress a lot and try to get comfort from people
20. What do you envy? People who have no problem with public speaking, pilots, people who have been to Antarctica, etc
21. What's your favorite time of day? Evening..the best time to relax, eat dinner, etc
22. Things you always did with your dad when you were little: Went for walks in the woods, traveled to California, swam in the pool, etc
23. What would you do if you were a teacher? Teach polar exploration, and probably get a headache from trying to deal with kids all day LOL
24. How would you like to make the world a better place? Be kind and positive to as many people as possible, be there when they're upset, etc
