Anne Hathaway looks like she is legitimately having lots of fun hosting the Academy Awards. I like that.

Mila Kunis has me perplexed.. is that her shirt or a tattoo? Intriguing. What would “Meg” think?

Mila Kunis looks strange. In a nice kind of way.

And she is acting strange..

And apparently everyone on the Oscars tonight is drunk or high.

It’s the young and hip Oscars

A very sad situation gets even worse in New Zealand

In the wake of strong earthquakes, deaths, injuries, and landscape changes, a new threat has emerged: Incidents of domestic violence are also surging..

Fatigue and frailty of humanity.. and a skyrocketing increase in abuse and violence..

"Sometimes the way that it’s expressed, people are a lot (closer to) their breaking point and sometimes some of the reactions can be quite out of character. Certainly domestic violence is something that becomes more obvious."

Always the real thing. It’s diet. And now:

Past medical testing on humans occurred at the hands of the United States government

The AP Impact article wants us not to be scared.. I’d rather be informed .. Most of what is reported is already well known. The true and frightening question may be: What makes us think the testing has ended..?

Weather to watch for: There is a possibility (only at this point a possibility) that the East Coast may see a major snow event somewhere along the East Coast.. It's worth watching

And it’s also worth noting: The blizzard of 93 occurred well into March of that year, as well. It could happen. Chances are it won’t. But after this year’s wild winter weather, once last hurrah is a very possible situation..

I've noticed something about parenting..

Having a child makes parents speak in code. I am not joking.. Mom or Dad will say things to each other through their infant who can’t speak yet. Case in point, if Tara wants me to do something, she will tell Ayden, “And now daddy is going to help out and get [insert task or item]”.. And I do it to her.. While changing a diaper, “Now mommy will get me the butt creme.” Well not always butt creme.. but no matter who much I mature or progress in age, the term ‘Butt Creme” for a product will always make me laugh—just don’t get it on your iPhone screen, it’s a chore getting clean.

Johnny Cash takes us into another Sunday.. 

This Sunday is Oscar Sunday. It’s set to be dull.

It’s also cold in Tinseltown.. But never too cold for a red carpet..

What is it about a Sunday morning that makes you feel like everything is coming down…?

I promised myself to not subject my newborn to attention online by plastering his face everywhere.. He’s just too young for that. Until I saw him sleeping and I just gave in..

On the day of his first date, if the net exists and Coal Speaker still does too, I’ll fire up the archive and embarrass him.

Cigar shapes over Pennsylvania

I found this interesting article from a Canadian source on UFO sightings in Pennsylvania, which apparently is at a level 4 for sightings.. didn’t know. But what is interesting is the location, I81 and 83, described in the article, are both highways I often frequent in my day-to-day life.. And supposedly there was a cigar shaped UFO sighted over the general area of Enola, Harrisburg, etc.. 

This all occurred around October of 2010 — one more before I too had what I can only call an interesting experience. In the oldest archive of Coal Speaker, on Friday November 19, 2010, I saw something cigar shaped in the sky..And I felt lucky that for the first time in 30 years of life I saw something completely unexplainable in the sky.. 

Perhaps I saw the same cigar shaped UFO.. Perhaps I was simply tired. Maybe now, with a newborn in my life, I will get less sleep and hallucinate and see more.

But the notion that we are alone in this vast galaxy of planets and star systems is ludicrous. Ludicrous speed at that.
