Bad dream.

To dream that you have rotten or decaying teeth, forewarns that your health...is in jeopardy. ~from Dream Moods

I don't know how much I believe that, but this would be about the third time I dreamed that my teeth were coming out. First it was a molar, then one of my upper bicuspids. Then I examined my lower incisors; a baby tooth, inexplicably, had cropped up right in front of one of the permanent teeth. And by baby tooth, that's exactly what I mean -- this thing was TINY. I got that out, but in the process, the incisor cracked in half and broke.

I was hysterical. I could taste the blood, could feel the pain each time a tooth came out. I was frantically trying to reach my dentist but he wasn't in the phone book.

And then the alarm went off, and I realized two things:

1. It was just a dream, and
2. I forgot to go to last night's Fundraising committee meeting.

I doubt they're related, but it's still not a great way to start your day.

And the nominees are...

All of you who have been ranting and raving about Sweeney Todd will undoubtedly cheer when you find out (if you haven't already) that the lovely Mr. Depp has been nominated for Best Actor!

For my own part, there was only one nomination that would have pissed me off if it hadn't been made, but it was, so I'm content. Cate Blanchett is up for Best Actress for Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

I'm vaguely annoyed (but not entirely surprised) that Shrek 3 did not get nominated for Best Animated. Enchanted is almost guaranteed the Best Original Song award, since it nabbed three of the five nominations.

Jon Stewart is again slated to host, which is exciting since he was so enjoyable two years ago when he did it, but it's a question of whether or not there's still a picket line in place. He's said he will not cross it if there is.
