Huh? Okay, my post might not make sense so...I live in Greece. Here we have our own factories, and it tastes different. However if you go to Mickie D's the syrup used for it is the proper stuff sent straight from Macdonalds international.

Oh right, I thought you were American but of Greek origin. In America they don't use sugar like have in our coke over here, and that's why I feel sorry for them, they're getting an inferior product.

One thing I also love about Mickie D's is that coke here is the European kind, but the one they serve is proper fountain stuff with the syrup coming straight from the States.

Mickie D's?

Mate it's Maccas

I went out shortly before my last post hours ago and now I'm back, watching the Oscars while still on the computer, of course.

To clarify my comment then @Jack Pschitt; I don't know that I want a relationship that badly right now. I just want to get laid. Because I'm almost 23 and I don't have any particular commitment to chastity, so it's embarrassing.

Anyway, way more importantly WHO ELSE IS WATCHING THE OSCARS? So happy Christoph Waltz won! I would like to see Django win a bit more, that movie kicked ass. Also, not at all surprised that Life of Pi is cleaning up visual categories.

My big category this year is Best Original Song. If that drippy song they added to Les Mis just to qualify for the category wins over "Skyfall," I will cry.

My parents are watching the Oscars. I'm doing homework right now, since I didn't finish yesterday. :/

Needs more Bond. A lot more Bond.

Goldfinger being sung by Bassey was sooooo awesomeeeee

I hope Argo wins Best Picture. Too bad Affleck couldn't win Best Director

@Lyrebird; Yeah, Bassey's performance was really awesome.

I'm upset Skyfall wasn't nominated for Best Picture, it's one of the best Bond films I've ever seen. Certainly, it was better than Les Mis which is nominated.

The only nominated films I saw were that and Django Unchained, so I can't speak to Argo. All I know is I really really really REALLY don't want Les Mis to win.

Nah I think Skyfall is okay. Compared to all the Bond Films (I've seen all), it wouldn't crack my Top 10.

I don't like that they're doing these Best Picture nominees three at a time, rather than one at a time like they used to.

Though I suspect they're trying to keep it thematic in how they group them. Right now it's "political films" (Argo, Lincoln, Zero Dark Thirty) and the previous one was...visually pretty films? (It was Les Mis, Life of Pi and Beasts of the Southern Wild. Although Les Mis had some shitty directing in terms of how it would zoom up in the actors' faces while they sang. I don't need to see Russell Crowe's fillings. But the overall scenery and stuff was pretty.)

Ben Affleck should have kept that '70s haircut he has in Argo.

Also I hate to admit but I cracked up at Seth MacFarlane's most recent Lincoln joke. He's been scattershot tonight, but that was good.

Affleck is probably getting frustrated that everyone keeps mentioning Gigli.

Also Daniel Day-Lewis totally had a face of "when do I get my Oscar?" a few minutes ago.

There you go Skyfall gets an award.

Well I specifically wanted it to win Best Original Song which hasn't been announced yet.

Anne Hathaway's Les Mis performance in the show tonight makes me reconsider my feelings about her inevitable Best Supporting Actress win.

I would have preferred Jackie (Jacki) Weaver because she is Australian.

There you go Skyfall
