The music while the acceptance speeches are going on has got to stop. It makes me think that the winners’ time is up, even before they’ve begun speaking. ---

It’s odd how music is playing even before the winners begin their speeches. It’s like they’re really hinting to keep these things short! ---

Yes, I was distracted by the necklace, which looked like an afterthought, as it hung too low. And her hair always looks the same. I’m not sure brown is her color, either. ---
