All you dog-centric people can turn away.

This holds particular hilarity for me and mine, because both Cassie (our white cat) and Miss Hannigan (our white dog) like to try sitting on the pillow that Becky uses to cover her head when she’s sleeping.

Bump! (See my note below.)

I’ve got the Oscar Pick ‘Em page ready to go. If you have any problems, please, take a screen capture and send it to me so I can fix it.

Anyone who is a member at BPB can play, and anyone can sign up to be a member.

Before we get to the Oscars I hope to have a stats page showing the current vote count, and I will be updating the results live so that you can track your score and rank from the site.

If you’re in Austin and interested in a pool party — that is, an Oscar viewing party where we’ll all put $5 into the pot to see who can guess the most awards — send me an email and I’ll add you to our evite.

Note: Becky brought up a good point! I should let you know that you can start making partial picks now, playing around with the Pick ‘Em page, and change them up until the deadline — 30 minutes before the Oscar broadcast.
