on a Thursday

let's all be strong today, the week is nearly finished! I love this verse (both versions).
 Something about the phrase "in the midst of her" is so.... BIG.

and the Oscar goes to...

The Academy Awards are basically my own personal superbowl. I get very into it, offering up many... strong opinions. What I'm telling you is-it gets real y'all and this year was no exception. I saw everything nominated!!
 except "Still Alice" (missed it at the theatre-hoping to rent soon)
"The Imitation Game" (sorry heard it was boring)
"Foxcatcher" (dying to see this!!).
Again though, I saw everything else!!

just to be a real pain-here are some of my complaints this year....


I must say I'm disappointed Unbroken was left out....very disappointed...like it should have won best picture because it was the best ask anyone it's great!
Also, no nomination for Miles Teller? ummm ok whatever that's ridiculous.
Eddie Redmayne-you seem like a sweet man but for the love of God cut down on the concealer.
That guy cut Sienna Miller off like 3x at the podium ANNNND bumped into her-what the hec weirdo
Adam Levine's model wife keeps sticking her tongue out at the camera-do you know where you are girl? dumb. models are dumb.
They left out Joan Rivers. HOW DARE YOU
Was Common playing pretend air basketball as he rapped?
Everything is Awesome is not an awesome song-in fact I had to take medicine for a headache after.
no air conditioning? everyone was sweating!

now for the good

LADY GAGA LADY GAGA LADY GAGA
Reese Witherspoon looked stunning as did Jessica Chastain also Marion Cotillard
Neil Patrick Harris you are funny
The set looked beautiful and the lighting made everyone look flawless
Shirley Maclaine's black sparkle jumpsuit ummm HELLO GORGEOUS!
when they showed clips of the foreign films-that bull running inside looked amazing
as did the foreign film about the little boy and his pet chicken-cutie pie
PATRICIA ARQUETTE BRINGING THE FIRE!!!  to quote Meryl "yes! yes!" I was jumping up and down on the couch at home
Julie Andrews is perfect
The speech about everyone having a place in this world even if you feel weird

4)grand Budapest hotel
5)wild

on a sunday

a day about love

Happy Valentine's Day!

I wore a love dress and everything- xo

THIS WEEK MAN

so how are you?
 I'm cold...real cold girl.
It's been snowing and icing and blowing windy rain around here for days.
(fun story: I didn't fall outside somehow, but my sock was damp coming in so I fell down the stairs inside! That was super fun. I only hurt my pinky finger somehow? clearly by the grace of God because I fell down those stairs.)
 The bad news about this week is, in New York you still have to leave the house and go to work no matter what the conditions-this would never happen in Mississippi! I would have been in my bed underneath 50 blankets WITH a cat AND a hot coffee. UGH New York City you crazy place! Elvis and I slip slide slowly to daycare every morning-if someone had a camera you would see I look ridiculous. He walks very slowly, then starts to get bored and tugs his leash to which I screammmm "Whoa! stop! no no no!" and he turns in fear. This happens at least 6x per walk. My poor little dog.
Have I mentioned I'm moving? Because I am. Yeah, that's happening...
Have I packed yet? Oh no! Am I supposed to move in Sunday or Monday? yep.
see... when your acting teacher assigns Shakespeare projects and your work schedules a company wide meeting and a valentines day promotional event and you decide you need to start actively auditioning for managers twice a week at night and your dog needs to be neutered because he is 6 months old and things are getting weird and your computer of five years bites it and you decide to do the most  difficult scene of your life with a girl in your class to grow and you are in the process of cleaning out clothes to send home before the move and you have 6 voicemails you haven't heard ...things get...pushed back.
what? stressed? NO. not at all. I can do this.
I guess, when it rains it pours.

been away

sorry!

I've been away due to my computer's death. yep, you read that alright....
dead as a doornail.
BUT
I just got this brand new fellow in my life! His name is HP...maybe you've heard of him?
I'll be able to show you guys some Juno fail later this week :)
