There's no "official" Friday Five today, so kudos to Rick for coming up with his own! I hereby answer them:
1. What is the top news story this week?--The opening of, and reaction to, "The Passion of the Christ"; and the ongoing flap over gay marriage
2. What are you looking forward to this weekend?--Sleeping in on Saturday!!!!
3. Do you watch the Oscars? Why or why not?--Yes, at least in part. Partly out of curiosity and partly because I want to see what the "beautiful people" are wearing (is that shallow, or what!?!)
4. What are you looking forward to as Spring approaches?--Walking on the beautiful Sinnissippi Bike Path...visiting family in the Austin, Texas area...wearing my jean jacket instead of my coat...watching my lovely Forest City bud and bloom...and, three words: DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME!!!!!
5. Is there anything at all to watch on daytime television?!?--Not a whole heckuva lot, if you don't have cable and don't care for soap operas! I watch daytime TV only when I'm home sick from work. I actually kind of enjoy "The View" and "Oprah."
