Wait, Best Supporting Actress Oscar? But Frances was the main character!!!

Lemme check...

No, spookypedia says it was Best leading actress Oscar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/69th_Academy_Awards

lol

that year they gave the supporting actress award to Juliette Binoche for The English Patient. I couldn't stand that movie. I think I watched like 15 minutes of it. UGHGHG!!

Fargo is ta better movie than The English Patient. My mother loved Fargo. Mainly because of the music, and because of the female police sleuth. And she laughed so much with the wood chipper scene.

Great observations about the data.

I don't have patience for data.

To make a joke, I think there is negative excess mortality: the many people I want to just die are still at large drinking mojitos.

LOL! I'll be the first to tell you I don't watch uch TV or movies or pay enough attention to that particular data set to care, so what it's called is news to me. If they're making up the mortality data on the few countries that still are reporting it they're doing a really shitty job of hiding their tracks...

My Thai wife just heard about the 99 cent stores closing. She said it was a popular place for decorations and was sad it wouldn't be available anymore for parents. Stuff for birthday parties, Christmas, Halloween - it was where to go to buy things that make these events a little more festive, even if you don't have a lot of money.

Stealing goldfish; that's low.

At first I was sure that the bag broke and maybe the poor fish were (sadly dead) under the seat somewhere. Obviously this is an issue too. We've looked everywhere and no, somebody actually stole the $2 bag of goldfish out of the car...
