So, what did everyone think of the Oscars? Did you watch it? What did you think about the winners?

[DENISA]

did not watch it...I'm a bad people...

[Dan]

I did not watch it because I decided to watch The Walking Dead instead. I wish I had seen it because Jennifer Lawrence won best actress and I want her to be the future mother of my children. LOL.

[DENISA]

at least I am in good company that did not watch it..

[Jack, Founder]

I didn't watch it myself but I was curious because I heard that over a billion people tuned in

[DENISA]

I was reading... probably

[DENISA]

oh no Kyle.... hope you are better now.... My hubby had the flu twice also. Not a good thing.

[Lynn]

I watched it but didn't find it that interesting. I was however thrilled to see that "Searching for Sugarman" got the best documentary. It's about Rodriguez. Don't know how many of you know about him? He's a singer from the '70's who made the most awesome music. I've been listening to him since I was in my teens. He was against aparthied, the establishment, that sort of thing.

If anyone is interested here's a piece called The Amazing Story of Rodriguez - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkPqNa...
It's hosted by Jeff Probst (the guy who does Survivor).

And here is a link to the trailer of the documentary

[DENISA]

I recorded it and just watched it yesterday. I fast-forwarded just to hear Jennifer Hudson, Shirley Bassey, Adele, and Streisand sing. One thing that I found very annoying was the volume of the orchestra! At times it drowned out the singers' voices...in this age of advanced technology, couldn't they have figured out a way to make it just a touch less deafening??

[Peach]

I will confess to liking the Bee Gees :) They were so big during my growing-up years and when Saturday Night Fever came out, it was huge. It's a little dated now but I still love the movie....and their music.

[Jack, Founder]

Which authors would you like to do a Q&A with everyone?

[DENISA]

Stephen King too

[Jack, Founder]

So what does everyone think of the group's new un nail and masthead?

[Everett]

My dad used stayin alive for his video

[DENISA]

hmmmm I see we have a new logo on our group... Was it there yesterday?

[Jack, Founder]

I put it up yesterday Denisa, what do your think of it?

[DENISA]

hmmmmm I like it... It is bright "look at me" kinda like the 70's that being being said... I liked the one before better but that is just me... I like this one, its fine...

[Jack, Founder]

I'm just trying a few things out Denisa, seeing what suits.

[DENISA]

I think its great that you are trying things.. being active... that is what makes you a great moderator!

[DENISA]

wow all these comments today... I am going to get lots of points.. hahahah. I am truthfully taking a break and thought I would see what everyone is up to

[Jack, Founder]

Yes Denisa, you'll be at the top of the leader board before you know it.

[Christine]

How are you Denisa?

[DENISA]

Hi Christine... I am fantastic today. I think I may have had too much coffee though, it seems like I am going 90 to nothing but I am actually getting a lot done too...
How are you Christine? Is the day going okay for you? Are you reading anything right now?
I am reading "When She Was Gone" by Gwendolen Gross

[Christine]

I'm not doing great and i'm reading this book called Changes by Danielle Steel

[Holly]

Hello everyone!!!!

I hope that everyone is having a good day! :-D

[Jack, Founder]

Yep, I am.

How about you Holly?

[Henri]

What's everyone upto this evening?

I'm currently tackling Tom Clancy's Without Remorse... only 220 pages in... not quite what I expected but good still, quite a bit of depth.

[Christine]

Are you writing another book Kyle?

[Cherrelle]

Hello everyone! I'm procrastinating at university and I forgot to bring a book (or my kindle) with me - sigh...

[DENISA]

Hey Kyle... glad you are writing... I was writing too... except... heheheheh well.. that's a long story..

[DENISA]

Sometimes I procrastinate too... although I do have my book here at work. So what are you going to school for and what classes do you have? I have social Problems and Book business..

[DENISA]

hahaha no Kyle... I was spamming to win the book in our group so I started writing little scenes out of stuff I am working on right now.. hahahah. I got tired of just posting a word or to so I was working on little bits out of my books I am working on

[Jack, Founder]

I like your work Denisa.

[DENISA]

Jack wrote: "I like your work Denisa."

Thank you Jack...I feel better now... I am working on a book of several short stories.. and I like to play around and write conversations to help me keep my character in play with who they are and diff from the others...

[DENISA]

Kyle ~Special K: Rebel Leader~ wrote: "Oh, okay. Understood, Denisa. lol
Much luck in your writing!"

Thaqnk you Kyle and blessings to you and your words.

[DENISA]

hmmmm Jack it looks like you changed the logo back again...I wish I could sit up there on that sign and watch the people and the world and write

[Jack, Founder]

Yeah, I did. I missed it too much! Lol
Yes, I'd love to sit up there and watch the world go by.

[DENISA]

ah... you are testing our ability to noctice things aren't you? hahaha

[Jack, Founder]

No, I was just trying out a couple of things, but figured the original was best.

[DENISA]

I know how you feel..I don't know why but the image you have up there now... the original speaks to me. Course pictures do speak to us all in totally different ways.. Images of colors and shapes, although art doesn't really reach out and pull me in... but that is just me.

[Peach]

HI gang! I am playing catch up as it's been a crazy week here. I've been writing a bit too this week. Anyone doing Camp NaNoWriMo in April?

[Jack, Founder]

Hi Peach, how's it going? I'm not doing NaNoWriMo, are you?

[Jack, Founder]

Wow! What happened there? What was the technical difficulty?

What kind of e-reader do you have?

James I am not sure if there is a group that is plain fiction or not...

Writing is a good thing Peach... I'm not doing doing Camp NaNoWriMo in April, not really sure what it is lol, but I am interested...

[Lucy]

Hi Denisa! NaNoWriMo is usually in November, or at least it was last year. Basically, you attempt to write a novel in a month. You commit to writing a certain number of words per day..and hopefully will have a completed work by the end of the month. It's actually pretty good motivation if you're like me, and find it hard to set aside time to write. :)

[DENISA]

oh do you go in person to this event or do you write from home. Man, I'm not sure if I could write a novel in a month or not...I could write a set amount of words per day without a problem but.. I guess saying the nvel word is scary.. hmmm (thinking about it)
