Saturday. Random. Thread.

I feel like I am going into this Oscars with a clean slate as I haven't seen any of the movies. I swear I dont watch movies anymore. It's so weird.

As a teen I lived and breathed them. I watched so many movies, and if it came out between like 1945 and 2001 I watched it. Maybe I OD'd on movies?

Are you talking about Roman Polanski? He directed several of my top 20 movies... I suck.

Him and Woody Allen come to mind.

I do like some directors that are on the up and up though too.  Wes Anderson comes to mind. The Coen brothers.

I hate when people shorten words.

I've nearly posted several things this morning that just make me so sound like an ornery old man. Perhaps I'll get coffee, bagels, and do my 7 mile run to change my attitude. Ha.

FFSC? I have not seen any of the Oscar movies. I hate the Oscars and all the pomp and self-importance.

booooo

hisssssss

I love the Oscars. In a love/hate kind of way. It was a big tradition in my house (hey-o East Coast Jews) and it will always have a special place in my heart even though the faux political diatribes make me roll my eyes and the Academy loves to glorify pedophile directors. 

Like I said, love/hate.

Amen LLP! Especially the Polanski part. That still stings. We love the Oscars. Every year we have a party and DH and I get obsessive about handicapping the winners for weeks in advance. I saw a lot of the nominees. You know I did not like Grand Budapest Hotel but after seeing some of the other nominees I think it was one of the best! Did you see Whiplash? That's one I really wanted to see but didn't.

Good morning!! It is freezing here and appears to have been snowing all night and it is still coming down. Some good friends of ours are moving to Pennsylvania soon and they are having an open house this afternoon so we are trying to decide if we are going to brave the cold and snow to go. They also live a good hour and 45 minutes away from us so that makes it even harder to decide. I might be able to see her next week though so I may just wait.

I knew it was time to go to bed and stop drinking when Anthony Bourdain had 2 sets of eyes. I've got my ice cold coke now and all I want is someone to bring me a Burger King breakfast.

To fully enjoy my coffee, I put hot cocoa mix in my cup before pouring the coffee. This morning I woke up hungover and my heart sank when I remembered I had used the last of the hot cocoa mix yesterday. Desperate, I flug open the cabinets to find even the smallest amount of some that may have been forgotten. I was surprised to find a brand new tin! H noticed I was out and got some at the supermarket yesterday.

Is the weekly running thread still a thing? I need some motivation.

I LOVED Whiplash. LOVED. It might be my favorite of the nominees that I've seen (everything but Imitation Game, American Sniper, and Selma, though I plan on watching the first two of those tomorrow). I am willing to bet Boyhood wins Best Picture and definitely Best Director, but I really hope JK Simmons wins for Whiplash. He was AMAZING.

Like I said, lots of feels on this. (:

I think JK will win. I am bummed I didn't see Whiplash before the awards though! Maybe DH and I should frantically search for a showing tonight. Imitation Game & Sniper were both very good... Liked those both a lot! I'm thinking Birdman has a good shot at Picture & Director but Boyhood is definitely still a top contender. What are you thinking for Actor? That's a tight race! DH and I follow all the guild awards and Eddie Redmayne has won more of those than Michael Keaton. But Keaton has seemed like a lock for months.

I legitimately one day heard a girl working at LaSenza say to a co-worker, "Don't be sil - we totes have time for a Star-Beez run" aka "Don't be silly, we totally have time for a Star-bucks run." I wanted to smack some English into her.

Guy next to me chews with mouth noises. Yick. Auditory assault.

I will take a bagel with sausage, egg and cheese.  Thank mew.

Now I'm just kicking myself for not stopping at Burger King before work.  I think I'll take myself out to lunch.

I didn't catch as many of the noms this year as I usually do, but we saw Whiplash a few weeks ago and it was really, really good. It was so intense!

I have vegetable lasagna from last night that I am contemplating eating for breakfast... I am not sure about eating it cold though.

Someone told me... you can find movies... on the Internet... or so I've heard...

Best Actor is going to be tough. I think it will go to Keaton but I could see Redmayne or even Carrell. I just finished watching Foxcatcher -- he was incredible in it. Did you see that one?

I think Reese Witherspoon will get Best Actress, though I didn't really like her or Wild.

I didn't see Foxcatcher but I heard that Carrell was great. And i adore Mark Ruffalo. Definitely want to check that out. I didn't really enjoy Wild either. I think Julianne Moore has a good chance too. I didn't see Still Alice because I thought it would be too depressing... My grandma had Alzheimer's and I thought it would be tough to watch. But I love Julianne and she deserves to finally win. Is it bad that my favorite performance of hers is as Maude Lebowski? Haha.
