It's another one of those mega-duh, dog-bites-man headlines:

Conti Named Musical Director for Oscars
Bill Conti, the prolific composer best known for the Rocky theme, has had this gig since the late 80s. If he wasn't going to do it this time, that would be a story.

I'm on track with my shopping, with just three more Christmas presents to buy. Two of those are for people I won't see until after the 25th, giving me a grace period in case I don't find something during my last shopping foray tonight.

Tomorrow I'll be with my folks celebrating my mom's birthday. Christmas Eve will be spent wrapping gifts while watching Washington (hopefully) avenge their 36-0 loss to the New York Football Giants earlier this season, followed by a quiet night in with a couple friends. It all promises to be warm, wonderful lead-in to the big day itself.

Unless Washington loses. Then Christmas will be ruined.
