A LEAP BACK


Hello there Audience, it's me Cloon here on this most auspicious day of February 29 to take you on a magical leap back into the month of February to catch you up on what transpired here at Headquarters...


At the beginning of the month, Neytiri and I were awakened from our snooze-a-palooza by some whistlin' in the distance...


We were surprised to find Varmit the Marmot surfacing and trying to get our attention at o-dark-thirty.   It just so happened to be Groundhog Day and since he had been on strike for the last two years from his Annual Groundhog Day Report and his 5 year Groundhog contract was up for renewal, we weren't sure what his angle was. 

 
As it turns out, he had been spying on Neytiri baking up a storm in preparation for our Oscars party and demanded some cupcakes in order to deliver this year's Groundhog Day Report.  Once he had sampled a few, he announced his early Spring prediction for British Columbia!  Varmit was not alone in his early Spring Prediction...as you already know, famous Groundhogs
Punxsutawney Phil and Wiarton Willie DID NOT see their shadows and predicted an early Spring for Pennsylvania and Ontario!
Unfortunately, Nova Scotia’s Shubenacadie Sam DID see his shadow and predicted 6 more weeks of winter for Eastern Canada. 



Taking us a bit later into the month, I hosted our Oscars review right from my brand new office chair wearing my office caj.  (*Note how my interior decorator chose to compliment my furs*)
 
Getting right underway...here was my presentation of Best Motion Picture...


In the Best Motion Picture Category...the 3 Nominees:


1) Joker

This motion picture features a failed stand-up comedian duck whose descent into mini-mugs of ale have gotten him into trouble, trouble and more trouble.


2) Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Clooneyland

 The film follows the celebricat George Clooney and his stunt double Mini-Cloon, as they navigate the crazy world of magic cat tunnels, marmots, maracas and the ever-changing schemes for Num-Nums and dinero. 

 3) Parasite

This motion picture follows a free-rider/hanger-on who infiltrates the Headquarters of a CEO, charming his way in through flattery and false qualifications and exploiting the hospitality of his host.

And the Oscar goes to...
Parasite!



And we wrap up our month by joining the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop
with our furriends at The Cat On My Head.

On The Red Carpet



Clooney: (Tap, tap and then in a Bridget Jones voice...)
The, uh.., mike's not...work--working.

Neytiri: Let's turn it on, shall we?

Clooney: I'd like to thank the Academy for my Oscar The Furries of Whisppy for presenting me with The Versatile Blogger Award.  I do believes that I am "versatile" as I have my paws in many pies, so to speak...But enough about me...The Furries of Whisppy have a wonderful blog with a very special Mommy who helps stray and feral kitties.  The Furries are all very photogenic and the action shots taken of them are amazing!  You must go on over to visit them!


As Neytiri was being photographed by the Paw-Purr-Azzi on the Red Carpet, she was Tagged!  Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Austin Powers  Austin the Welsh Tuxedo Mancat  fleeing the scene.  Now Austin has awards coming out of his ears...let's just call him "The Artist", shall we?  But deservedly so folks because he and his Human Caro are uber-clever.  You must go on over to CATachresis to be entertained and impressed!  Now we will answer the questions that we have been tagged with:

1) Describe yourself in 7 words:
Clooney: easy on the eyes, intelligent, a character 
Neytiri: fluffy, tomboy, persistent, sweet, humble, enchanting, independent
2) What keeps you up at night?
Clooney: boredom
Neytiri: Clooney
3) Who would you like to be?
Clooney: A Zoo Official
Neytiri: An Entomologist
4) What are you wearing now?
Clooney: If you purchase a Clooneymobile, I'll tell ya...
Neytiri: Rabbit fur
5) What scares you?
Clooney: Going to the V-E-T and the vacuum cleaner
Neytiri: Only that heart balloon from Valentine's
6) The best and worst of blogging?
Both: A chance to have fun and be silly and making great blogging friends is the best.  The worst is being behind in visiting blogs.
7) Last website you've visited:
Both: CATachresis to get the tag questions!
8) One thing you'd change about yourself:
Clooney: I'd like bigger biceps...
Neytiri: I'd like to live somewhere tropical where there are more insects.
9) Slankets or no?
Clooney: Only if they make them in Argyle...
Neytiri: Definitely not!  Although I'd like to see "Ducky" in a slanket! (Do they make them for ducks?)
10) Tell us something about the cat that tagged you:
Austin only speaks Welsh but writes haikus in English...is the guy talented or what?

INTERMISSION BREAK...
Oh and we're back...Ok Audience, it's a double whammy, we tag The Purr Diaries and give them The Versatile Blogger Award too!  If you haven't been over there, you must visit their blog!  Sarah is a very talented artist and has two very irresistible Mancats: Bosco and Oliver. 

And now returning to our regular OTRC programming...  Here are our Awards/Picks from the 84th Annual Academy Awards:

1) Neytiri's Warm Fuzzies Award goes to Meryl Streep and her classy acceptance speech (we likes our Meryl here at Headquarters).

2) Cloon's "You're Busting My Chops" Award goes to Angie's Right Leg...

3) "Ducky's" Best Oscar Moment goes to the "Martin Scorsese Drinking Game"...(well what do you expect Audience, I mean the little guy tweets for beer...)

And that's all folks!  Thanks for joining us OTRC!
