woody allen on making movies in nyc

In anticipation of Sunday 84th Academy Awards, I'd like to share this awesome video of my beloved Woody Allen's appearance at the 2002 Oscars, where he made a plea for filmmakers' continuing to make their art in New York City. It's also very funny. I would love if he showed up Sunday evening.

P.S. Here's the montage, if you're interested.

happy president's day

Hope you're enjoying a day of celebrating our nation's leaders. This video might certainly inspire a giggle. I first saw it my freshman year at IU, brought to me by the same ladies who introduced me to the puppy cam.

happy friday!

What are your weekend plans? I'm very excited to be on the radio today! I'll be on WNIN 88.3 (the Evansville-Henderson-Owensboro NPR member station) from 3-5 p.m. CST working for the pledge drive! If you're thinking about contributing, this might be a good time :)
