Oscars 2013 [songs]

Maybe I don't know too much about Oscars and about movies. Well, I know what I like and that's it.

But there is something about music, that makes good movies even better or at least we remember those songs.

On Google Glass website you can find more infotrmation regarding the sweepstakes.

If you are chosen, we will reach out to you with an invitation to become a Glass Explorer (please remember to follow us so that we can contact you directly). Explorers will each need to pre-order a Glass Explorer Edition for $1500 plus tax and attend a special pick-up experience, in person, in New York, San Francisco or Los Angeles."

Don't Forget

"Tonight, I will braid my pigtails and let them go all Medusa. I will plan my next adventure. And I will refuse to let the world tell me who I should be."
Donna Highfill wrote a post on Huffington Post (Post50) "How I Almost Got the Pippi Beaten Out of Me" 

I recommend you read that article - it's just perfect to stop for a moment and think if you still have "Pippi in your heart"

"My 50s have revived the Pippi in me. I have found the power of writing, and a love of conversation that goes deeper than the recent Cosmopolitan quiz. Menopause has removed the capacity for coy behavior or passive flirtation. In fact, it's fortunate that I am not armed"
"Although I want to be physically healthy, the need for perfect beauty is gone. I never achieved that look anyway, because I don't have a person who can airbrush me before I go out the door. And I've never been willing to stop eating so that my clothes could hang on me perfectly. I demand that the fashion industry fit clothes that hang correctly on women who weigh more than their dogs."
