Day 26
|
Back to work today- and it felt like I haven't been there in forever. Which, really I guess it has been quite awhile. That left me scrambling to organize a lot of different things, all of which are manageable, but still stressful in their own right.
Yesterday was a good day. It felt like Christmas this year as opposed to last when it didn't. I saw my family and we hung out, and Santa was very very good to me this year (better than normal I'd say). I also watched my grandmother very legitimately kick my ass in Scrabble. I got the lowest score, no joke.
Tomorrow and Friday I work some, but I get evenings off so I'll have more time than normal to do things. Like laundry. Speaking of which, I definitely dyed my sheets a darker purple totally by accident. Who knew purple would run? I sure didn't. I could have guessed, though. Oh well. No harm done since it's all the same to me.
I bought my red lipstick today. I haven't tested it out yet though.
I also went on Amazon and ordered two movies: "Hairspray", which has to be my favorite movie-musical EVER, and "Once", which is a movie that I can't even describe. I watched it in the theatre and it made me just sit back and sigh. A good sigh.
I can't wait to get them and watch them on my new 19" LCD flat-screen TV.Labels: christmas, movies, work |

Day 20
|
Movies Everywhere...
I'm thinking of seeing a movie this afternoon, and while I had the opportunity to see "Sweeney Todd" last night (I will be seeing it at some point) I was far too tired and traffic was a mess. I couldn't make it. So, I'm sitting here considering "Juno" and I'm also considering seeing "The Golden Compass" just because I like the book so far. There's also "Enchanted", which stars McDreamy among others. I like watching McDreamy. If you don't know who McDreamy is, pick up an issue of People (Like say, this week's issue) and there you go.
Meanwhile Golden Globe Noms:
1. BEST MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
1. AMERICAN GANGSTER
Imagine Entertainment/Scott Free Productions; Universal Pictures
2. ATONEMENT
Working Title Films Limited; Focus Features
3. EASTERN PROMISES
Kudos Pictures/Serendipity Point Films; Focus Features
4. THE GREAT DEBATERS
Harpo Films; The Weinstein Company/MGM
5. MICHAEL CLAYTON
Samuels Media and Castle Rock Entertainment a Mirage Enterprises/Section 8 Production; Warner Bros. Pictures
6. NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
A Scott Rudin/Mike Zoss Production; Miramax Films/Paramount Vantage
7. THERE WILL BE BLOOD
A Joanne Sellar/Ghoulardi Film Company Production; Paramount Vantage/Miramax Films
I have seen numbers 1 and 2 but not 3-7. Go figure. Hell, number 7 isn't even out yet and the people I know who saw #3 didn't even like it. And #4? WTF?
1 was good, 2 was great and very moving. I'd recommend them both for very different reasons as they are two vastly different films.
The Academy Awards are 2/24 this year, so we'll see. I think SAG got it right this week when they nominated "Into the Wild" for bunches of awards. It was one of my favorites this year by far and the book was a good read- I finished it in 2 days.Labels: awards, movies |
