best picture

Every year, for the last few years I have made a commitment to see all the movies nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. For the last 3 years, I have been successful. This year the Academy decided a throw a monkey wrench in to my plan. They go and nominate 10 movies for Best Picture. 10 movies in just over a month, only 1 of which I have already seen. Damn. My luck is that some of them are already out on DVD. Looks like I'll be renting lots of movies. I don't know if I'll be able to see the ones still in theaters, but Chris did show an interest in Avatar, so I may see that one.

edited to add: DONE. as of the night before the awards!
The nominees are:
Avatar
The Hurt Locker
Precious: Based on the novel 'Push' by Sapphire
Up in the Air
Inglourious Basterds
Up
The Blind Side
District 9
An Education
A Serious Man

DISNEY!!

I always said that I wanted to celebrate my 30th birthday in Disneyland. It didn't happen. So for my birthday this past year, my sister decided that she would gift me something special. She combined my birthday and Christmas gift and gave me a trip to Disneyland. With her, of course. She would pay for the plane ticket, hotel and tickets to Disneyland and California Adventure. WOW! I was really happy, to say the least. I hadn't been to Disneyland in almost 14 years.

Well, that trip just happened a week ago. It was the trip of a lifetime. We stayed at the Grand Californian hotel on property. We didn't even need a car. It was amazing. I can't really say enough about what a great time it was. FUN! FUN! FUN! FUN! FUN! Even though it rained the afternoon and evening of the 1st day we were in the park, it was still a blast. It wasn't crowded at all and we practically walked on rides. The last time I was there, I waited in line for over 2 hours for some of those rides. It was the perfect time to go. And California Adventure didn't even exist last time I was there. It was a parking lot. It does not compare to Disneyland, but it has some really cool things about it too. We saw so many characters too. I had decided that I was gonna get my picture taken with every character we saw. I lost count of how many I actually got, but boy do I have pictures!!

BEST TRIP EVER!
Thanks sis.

i suck

I did my best/worst dressed for the Golden Globes, then totally slacked on the SAG Awards and the Grammys. augh.

I also keep neglecting this blog. I always tell myself that I need to post, but I never think about it. Twitter and Facebook have taken over my life.

Poor blog. Poor me.
