                When I saw the bonus on the Oscar torrent last night I remember vaguely thinking "Hey I bet this is a sign I win that Oscar poll" and have had a certain bee in my bonnet all day (not to mention this is the day I sip bacardi cause it's my b day).  Now however sad face cause I came in freaking last and I have been outed as the Oscar torrent uploader.  Giggle.

                      Thanks.  i don't mind 44, so far.  I never liked 36 because somehow I forgot and thought I was 37, so really it wasn't not liked but not experienced, I got a case of the rambles….it happens as I get older.

                      Anywho, it may disappoint you to know, that despite clearly losing the Oscar poll & than having my instinct pulled out from under me with the Oscar torrent bit, tomorrow I will be announcing the fact that I won this Oscar poll & adding that I knew I would by that little bit of Oscar torrent forshadowing with the Wednesday night crew (whose Oscar party I always avoid since making a bit of scene during my arrival & then quick departure once a decade or so ago).  I know it's sad really but as they are not online they can't verify the veracity of my claim & bah ha ha you won, you can't have that cake & eat it as well, it's my birthday and I can, wait , what time is it?  Right, I have to go home to daddy, bring him the money, nighty night.
