As you are all well aware, I have been trumpeting the fact that I would be live blogging this year's Oscar Award ceremony. Having been in attendance at the ceremony for twenty-two consecutive years, and in many of those years having been feted at "Swifty" Lazar's legendary post-Oscar bashes at Spago's, I thought I could convey a bit of the "flavor" of the spectacle.
It appears, however, that a technical glitch will now prevent me from doing so. I was watching a rerun of "The Shield" on Channel 17 last night, (BTW, when is the Academy going to recognize Mr. Michael Chicilets and his fine work?), and the wind must have been blowing just right, because the reception on the old black and white was coming in great for a UHF channel. Suddenly, without warning, just as Chicilets was about to put another miscreant out of his misery without regard to his so-called "Consitutional" rights, the entire picture reduced to one dimming point of light in the middle of the screen.
I tried to remedy the situtation by whacking the side of the television with the palm of my hand. Then I tried turning the television on and off several times. None of these remedies was to any avail.
Would anybody know if the Academy Awards are going to be on the radio? I have been loathe to shell out the money for new batteries for my transistor, but this situation defines an emergency.
