Day 11 : Lazy Day

I love lazy days. There is nothing better than getting up late and staying in your pajamas all day. This Sunday I  did nothing but watch Tv and eat all day. I was planning on doing so much on Sunday, but I woke up with a headache and kind of cranky so I just stayed in bed until my dad came and asked me what we were having for lunch. I've learned over the years to just cook something instead of putting up a fight so I went to the kitchen to see what I could find.

Pasta is always my first choice on days like this. You only need a can of sauce, a couple of extra stuff to throw in (sausage, bacon, mushrooms) some salt and pepper to taste and entire family has  a full meal in less than 30 minutes. My family eats a lot, really, a lot, especially when my niece and nephews are here, like today. So I made a pound and a half of penne and fed all the hungry family members bugging me. For myself I reheated some left over Chinese food. I love left over Chinese, is one of my favorite things to eat.

After lunch we all sat around the TV to watch three hours of American Idol Season Nine auditions. The auditions are my favorite part of this show. This year looks like it’s going to be a good one because in only two shows I already have a lot of people I like. I loved the guy with the skinny jeans and the shaggy hair, the Latina girl from Berkley, the country girl who jumped bridges, the sixteen year old that spoke Portuguese, the police officer, the Italian guy, the sixteen year old with the twelve brothers and someone else but I don’t remember know.

After American idol ended I started getting ready for the nights entertainment, The Golden Globes.

I have to say again that I barely saw any of the movies and TV shows nominated, and that’s why my winner list from yesterday was more wish list than prediction. My favorite part of every award show is the Red Carpet, the clothes. I am not a girly girl, I don’t salivate over brands, and if I have some extra cash ill never spend it in clothes, but I love Red Carpet Fashion. Yesterday’s show was boring in every way. Nothing on the red carpet stood out in a good way. There were some dresses I thought where ok, but nothing I absolutely loved.

My favorite's of the night where surprisingly enough the sparkly dresses. Tony Colette, Jen Garner, Thirteen & Cuddy from House all sparkled and looked really good. The worst one was definitely Patricia Arquette; she always wears weird stuff and let’s not even mention her husband, WTF?!!

Over all I didn’t find anything truly horrendous or offensive but neither did anything pop as the best. 

In general the show was boring; Ricky Gervais did nothing for me. The Best acceptance speeches belonged to both Monique & Robert Downey Jr; the worst to Meryl Streep, I usually love her but yesterday i didnt get a word she said. Award season has officially begun on a blah note; let’s hope next week’s Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAGs) are less safe, clothes wise.

Day 10: Pretty Golden Spheres

Tonight the Golden Globes are on so I’m getting together with some friends for a viewing party.  In honor of this event I will post who I want to win an award. I haven’t seen many of the nominees but I don’t care, I’m making my winner list.

So my version of “And the winner is” goes as follows:

Best Television Series – Drama

Out of all the nominees I've seen four and a half seasons of House and two episodes of True Blood. I'm not down with the whole vampire thing so my Globe goes to House

Best Television Series – Comedy or Musical

Glee!!!! But let it be clear I’m not dismissing the other ones it’s just that this is the only one I've seen and really really like it.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama

Hugh Laurie, House. Refer to Category #1

Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama

Since the only one I've seen is Anna Paquin in True Blood (twice!!) that’s my pick

Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical

I only know the nominee from Glee but since I think Mr. Shue is an oblivious wimp Ill pick Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock he is the only actor I enjoy from the list

Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical

Yeah yeah her chances are slim, my these are my Golden Globes so Lea Michele, Glee

Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture made for  Television

My favorite character on the show Barney!! Neil Patrick Harris, How I Met Your Mother. Eventhough I still resent him for being gay!! He broke my heart when he came out!!

Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture made for  Television

Jane Lynch, Glee and that’s how Sue C’s it!!

Best Picture, Drama

Any Picture not named Avatar is fine by me!!!!!!

Best Picture, Musical/Comedy

My Globe goes to Julie & Julia. I saw the Hangover but my favorite thing from that film where the pictures at the end so there!!

Best Actor, Drama

This one is tough since I haven’t seen any of the movies I have to decide between my love for Colin Firth, The Single Man or George Clonney, Up in the Air. I wont . Either can have it. A la garata con puno!!

Best Actress, Drama

Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side. I really really loved that movie

Best Actor, Musical/Comedy

I'm going to say Joseph Gordon-Levit because I don’t think hes ever won anything and he should!!!

Best Actress, Musical/Comedy

Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia. She did an uncanny Julia Child

Best Director

Anyone But James Cameron. His ex wife would be nice.

I'm stopping there because it’s not as fun when you know don’t know any of the nominees and all the categories left are the boring ones.

Let the awards begin…….
