Meantime, the viewer's eye wanders toward the calendar - only five more days till February, only another month until the Oscar hype disappears overnight.

And hunched over a sizzling frying pan flipping grilled cheeses, I can honestly say that I was having fun. At 11p.m., the overnight volunteers strolled in and it was time to depart...
