In hindsight, we weren't on a cruise from Buffalo to Detroit at all this weekend. I can't imagine why anyone would be on a cruise out East during Oscar weekend. We were actually in Hollywood.
Last night, subscribers and chatroom leaders dined with Russell Crowe, Julia Roberts, Ang Lee, Kate Hudson, Benicio Del Toro, Juliette Binoche, Tom Hanks, Tushar Chande, Robert Fishcher (author of "Fibonacci Applications for Film Directors")* and many other stars, luminaries and shameless hangers-on. It was OK, if you like that sort of thing -- key parties, I mean. Beats spending the weekend cruising Lake Erie in March, or on a banana boat in Florida, I suppose. I don't remember much of it, to be honest. Julian Schnabel did most of the talking, and gave us free paintings of day-trading scenes as party favors. (One evocative one shows a day-trader being gored by a bull.)
*Regarding Fib numbers, the theory is that the most likely winners at the Oscars are films that used Fib numbers for length of film, number of scenes, etc. Hollywood is making a new effort to follow the Laws of Nature, in accordance with new legislation written by U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman (and winner of last year's Vice Presidential election). If you look at the proportion of leaves in the flowers of a sneezewort, for example .... Oh, I won't bore you with the details. Suffice it to say that "Quills" and "Before Night Falls" didn't make use of Fib numbers. Come to think of it, this is what we discussed over last night's dinner, for hours and hours and hours. Perfect Trader Inc. subscribers were spellbound.
