One word: Lackluster

I don't know about the rest of you, but I was thoroughly disappointed in the Oscar hosts last night. I mean they built it up so much and then they did nothing great, nothing super funny, no musical number, not even many jokes. I mean it's the Oscars!!! The opening number is supposed to be HUGE and great, but they obviously did not get the memo this year.

James Franco just said his words on the prompter and then stared off in to space with a weird little smirk.

Anne Hathaway tried so hard, but it was too hard, AND did anyone else notice that she cheered for every presenter she introduced with a loud WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, or YEAAHHHHHHHHHH.... at the Oscars??

Billy Crystal's 5 minutes was better than anything they said all night!

I think this line pretty much sums it up:
"The famed movie critic Roger Ebert tweeted "The worst Oscarcast I've seen, and I go back awhile. Some great winners, a nice distribution of awards, but the show? Dead. In. The. Water."

Anyway, enough of the rant.

At least the fashion was pretty good for the most part. Some of my favs:

This one was not my favorite to begin with - all I saw was the circle on her chest - but I grew to love it by the end of the night.

7 Facts...

Kathy and Jessie have now tagged me in this so here you go:

1. Tag the people who tagged you.
2. Post 7 facts about yourself
3. Pass it on to others.

1. I love cheese. It is probably my most favorite food in the whole world. (A close second is bacon, making a bacon grilled cheese sandwich a close third). More than just regular cheese I have a love for shredded cheese. Specifically the brand Cracker Barrel extra sharp cheddar cheese - no tie to the restaurant thank god. Shred it and use it on anything it is heaven. I once drunkenly admitted that if I could have any job in the world and make money I would be a cheese shredder. Yes, I know, but it's a simple pleasure in life for me.

2. I love labs. Black, yellow, brown. I love them all and I want one now and have wanted one for about 4 years now, but I know I am not in a place in life to get one right now. It doesn't stop me from freaking out every time I see one though.

3. I eat an apple pretty much every weekday. I love apples and I generally eat one everyday with lunch.

4. I have recently (in the past year) developed a bad shopping problem. If I see the words sale or even better 40% off of sale items I will go nuts and buy wayyyyy to much. I just can't pass a sale now. I don't know why. The main culprits of this epidemic are:
J.Crew
Ann Taylor Loft
Nordstrom

5. I love to read. It is probably one of my most favorite things. I do read "serious" books, but most of the time I read girly books that I pick up from the library based on their covers and silly girl titles. It is my escape from reality. However, right now I am reading Wicked and I can't put it down. It's like a new version of Harry Potter!

6. On that note... I love Harry Potter. ALOT. I've read all the books multiple times and seen all of the movies multiple times. The movies do not hold candle to the books. I once read 4 of them in a row over Christmas break and then tried to see if I had magical powers one night and thought my water might be poisoned one day because it tasted weird.

7. As obvious from #6... I have a very vivid imagination and I always have. As a child I gave everything in my room personalities and pretended they were real things (just like Beauty and the Beast). I even gave numbers personalities and used that to learn how to add. It's also one of the reasons I love to read so much today.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Tonight Thomas and I will mostly be celebrating our one year anniversary. We're off to Beajoe's: Colorado style pizza. Insanely good pizza, exactly what we did last year and not at all valentiney cheesy :)

Small Grammy recap....

What on earth was Janelle Monae thinking when she decided to
a) Crowd surf
b) Go belly first in to the crowd which obviously had to lead to some boob grabbing and other lady parts grabbing as well.... BAD IDEA
(and I have no idea who this girl is or what she sings)
