So, I had my best year yet when it comes to predictions. I got 17 out of 24 right. Next year, if I'm not in the middle of Africa, I am determined to know more about the short film (animated and documentary) stuff because thats where I get screwed every year. Also I got screwed with all the art direction awards, gave them to Pride and Prejudice ( Read more... )

i just finished crash with a good 20 minutes until the Pre Show starts. WAHOO! Just in time. Well I wanted to get my offical predictions in before this party got started so here we go. I'm listing what I want to win (since I've seen almost all the movies) and who I think will win. They are as follows:

Best Picture
Want & Will: Crash

I have a new top movie of 2005. Constant Gardener was breathtaking. I'm sad I didn't get to see this one in the theatre. I also saw Munich last night and it was great as well. Slightly less great for me than the first one, but I think it deserves its nominations. So far I think the Academy has done a good job with the nominations and you can't ( Read more... )

I submitted my Peace Corps application today. I finally took that step. Now I'm in the 3-4 week waiting period. Grr. I want to know NOW!

I was walking home from work yesterday and I saw JAY MCCAROLL at the new Container Store. He was having a interview in the show window. I was like, why are all these people standing here, and I started giggling when I saw him. I don't know if any of you watch Project Runway but I'm a huge huge fan. Jay won the first season (the 2nd season's ( Read more... )

I've discovered some new things lately and I'm hooked like a junkie on crack on:

Luna Bars

Hot Green Tea

KT Tunstall

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

And Running Shoe catalogs

Had a busy day today. Went to a Peace Corps recruitment meeting and then wasted the afternoon hours away at the theatre watching Eight Below and Winter's Passing. Then I was off to volunteering at the All Stars and got a great 2 hours of improv in all before 8:30 ( Read more... )

I'm really starting to think that all I need is a pair of running shoes and a gym membership to make me truly happy.

It's about time I simplified my life.
