I was lucky enough to be invited by Gavon Laessig to be a guest pundit on Punditocracy's [Oscar preview podcast][1]. It was a blast! So, although I don't have much to for y'all to read at the moment, there's lots to listen to. Hear Gavon and I make ill-informed, possibly offensive, and slightly drunken Oscar predictions. It's for sure a podcast that strives to be both informative as well as entertaining but, in the end, promises neither. And if that's not enticing enough for you, apparently, for those who don't already know, when I speak, I sound like a Canadian with lisp! What fun!! So, give it a listen and bear witness to what is clearly the birth of a promising broadcasting career for yours truly. It's your Lawrence.com-plete guide to the 79th annual Academy Awards! AND be sure to check out Gavon's dangerously clever [Oscars drinking game on the Punditocracy blog][2]. But, please be careful. Thanks again to Gavon! And thanks to all of you for your support of the ustoppable genius that is the Lawrence.com machine.

I enjoyed how much you enjoyed Stephen Frears. ...and the cursing. It was awesome.

Many thanks to Maggie's poisoned tongue and sweet booze for making this the best Punditocracy Oscar Preview EVER!

Shameless self promotion...
I expect better from you, Maggie.
My self promotion is a whole lot more shameless. Shame is for chumps.

For example:
Come see my band Sunday at the Replay, after the Oscars.
Hows that for shameless self promotion?

It is a credit to you Maggie that I actually made it to the 18th minute of this episode before cutting and returning to my punk rock fix. (Understand, I care little about movies and even less about the Oscars.) The only disappointment for me was when you described a potential Helen Mirren (sp?--firefox is underlining "Mirren") loss as an "upset" when the preferred adjective is "travesty."
(I like to anticipate what people say next.)
But indeed it was a treat to have your voice booming from my sound system in my acoustically fantastic, structurally decrepit abode I label the "Shack." Count me in amongst the legions of your adoring fans. You sounded perfectly fine to me.
(Oh yeah, and tell Gavin--whom I probably don't know--that the phrase "a little bit" in Spanish translates to "un pequito." He thinks it's "muy pequeno" which translates to the illogical "a lot small." I suspect he might have been drinkin' during this episode as well--not that there's anything wrong with that!)
