Urban Flooding.

It never happened.

I thought about that while leaving the neighborhood this morning on our way to see Doubt.
Such a let down; it sounded so cool.

Once again today after a miserable 24+ hours headache, coffee has saved my life and Tylenol has let me down.

I got my camera a little before the New Year. Probably not even an hour before. We love it. Bran's gift is yet to arrive and will be better than any. Will put everything from me to him to shame. Bummer but that is what happens when you're barely staying afloat the line above white trash. Economically, anyway.
So hopefully his gift will arrive soon since it says the 2nd on UPS' site.

I need to provide a little update of a goal of mine. I decided to try and see all of the Academy Award nominated films of 2009 before the nominations are even announced. I have about 3 weeks. I've been working on this since a few days before Christmas. So I guess it's been about 2 weeks now.

I am also refusing to read reviews for any and all films until I have seen them in their entirety.

Of course I am unable to guess the lucky nominees for Best Foreign Film, Best Documentary, Best Documentary Short Subject, Best Animated Short, and Best Live Action Short. Sooo
I am having to guess EVERYTHING aside from using the Golden Globe and SAG nominations lists as starting points.

Here is what I have seen so far in order from where I began a couple short weeks ago:
1. Frost/Nixon
2. Vicky Cristina Barcelona
3. Burn After Reading
4. Mamma Mia!
5. Happy-Go-Lucky
6. The Visitor
7. Milk
8. Gran Torino
9. Tropic Thunder
10. Pineapple Express
11. Revolutionary Road
12. Changeling
13. The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
14. Slumdog Millionaire
15. Frozen River
16. Iron Man
17. Wendy And Lucy
18. Doubt


Here is what I have left to watch that is nominated for either the Golden Globes or for the SAG awards:
1. The Wrestler
2. The Reader
3. Rachel Getting Married
4. I've Loved You So Long (Il y a longtemps que je t'aime)
5. Last Chance Harvey
6. The Duchess
7. Bolt
8. Kung Fu Panda
9. Cadillac Records
10. Defiance
11. Der Baader Meinhof Komplex
12. Maria Larsson's Everlasting Moments (Maria Larsson's eviga ogonblick)
13. Gomorrah (Gomorra)
14. Waltz With Bashir

And here are the ones that I am guessing will be wild cards or up for technical awards, etc.:
1. Quantum Of Solace
2. Horton Hears A Who!
3. Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull
4. Hancock
5. W.
6. The Day The Earth Stood Still
7. Speed Racer
8. Valkyrie
9. Seven Pounds
10. Australia
11. The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian

So that's that.

Hopefully reviews will be coming soon. I'll probably start a new block for that. I'll do my own predictions before January 22nd, too!! And I'll post my Golden Globes and SAG predictions/opinions.


Happy New Year to everyone and love to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 weeks for today until our anniversary; YAY :) <3<3 !!
