The 85th Academy Awards.

"Those actresses are so slim and tall, make them look like the Oscar statue."
As quoted from my lovely sister. And it's true. Plus, their shiny dresses (what? metallic is back in trend?) even make them look like the statue!

My experience on watching The Oscars is not so loyal. If I look back, there are some years that I just didn't care. And the others, I waited through the whole tv time.
And I always fail at trying to watch it live, ever since I moved back to Indonesia. I can't help it. It started in the morning!

So does this year. I ended up skipping the whole live show. But--not because I was still in bed. It was rather hilarious. As I switched my tv on, I saw the black screen with a blue pop up window with words:

NO SIGNAL RECEIVED. PLEASE WAIT OR CALL YOUR LOCAL OPERATOR IF PROBLEM PERSIST. 

(Or something sounds like that. You got what I mean.)
I want to laugh out loud, but of course I didn't or if I did my mom would asked whether I'm okay or not.
So, I just ignored it. Missing the Oscars didn't make me sad or anything. I continued to pack my stuff for Jakarta's visit. But once in a while, I switched the tv on again. Guess what? It was still like that. *sigh*
Well, thanks to the internet and my friend who keep me updated of the winners, without the cable tv.

At the end, I managed to watched the replay of the Oscars at night.
