Pourquoi, Mademoiselle?
I just watched the Golden Globes.
GOLDEN GLOBE WINNERS SPOILER ALERT!
I'm pretty happy with how the awards went! I think the only time I was disappointed was when Lost won for best drama. I mean, I know people are obsessed with that damned show, but BEST DRAMA? Are my friends and I wrong, or was it meant to be a mini-series? Now how are they going to drag this storyline on for more than three seasons without loosing viewership? What's more, the award only gave Dominic Mon-whats-it an excuse to go up on stage and flaunt his slack-jawed bulbous-nosed stick-out-ears ugliness to the delight of many Lord of the Rings fangirls world wide. I'm sorry people of my FL who love him, but I don't see it. He seems too full of himself.
But in good news, Steve Carell won for best actor in a Comedy series. Truthfully I wasn't expecting Steve to win over the other guys, but when his name was called I was ecstatic. How adorable was his speech? If you don't watch The Office, you must as soon as possible. Thursday's at 9:30 on NBC. If you have a show you're watching, then tape one or the other.
Another highlight was Sandra Oh winning as Supporting Actress in Drama for Grey's Anatomy. Her speech was possibly even more adorable than Steve's was! She couldn't find her way to the stage, and then she was flustered when she finally reached it and was excited by all of the celebrities around her. I would be pretty much like that, but when would I ever be at the Golden Globes?
Philip Seymour Hoffman won for best actor in a Drama, Sarah! But he probably called to tell you already. Congratulate him for me.
And can you say EYE CANDY? As immature as that seems, I just did. Johnny Depp was wearing a red shirt under his suit jacket and his hair was mussed and he just looked so good. He will certainly not be on the worst dressed this year, Melissa and Joan *stabs*! A bearded Colin Firth was there too, which is always a good time; as was Jonathan Rhys-Meyers who won for portraying Elvis but looked shocked and serious the entire show. Who could pass up Heath Ledger who was in Brokeback Mountain which took home a gazillion of the awards? (Which it most likely should have, though I have yet to see it.)
Let's see an evolution, shall we?
Johnny at the 2004 Golden Globes:
I loved this look, too. Only Johnny could pull this off. He wore a wallet chain, after all.
Johnny at the 2005 Golden Globes:
Aw yes, the glasses that matched the suit. I think he wore his wallet chain to this show too. . .
Johnny at the THIS YEARS Golden Globes:
See his red shirt? See his matching kerchief? See his hair all a-muss? Oh lordy. . . (look past the Getty watermark.) I sense a wallet chain absense. I loved that chain :(
I'll quit rambling to you all about this, because if you didn't watch the awards you will have -- by this point -- stopped reading this entry. If you had seen them then you will have -- by this point -- become bored by this entry.

Today was, to put it lightly, a crappy snowy no good day.
Here is what my house looked like when I got home from school at 3:30. It has been worse in past winters, but this winter has been mild and relatively snowless. Now Mademoiselle Mother Nature is dumping it on us all at once! You can KEEP you damned snow, you old bag!
The mound -- or hump, if you will -- of snow blown in front of my door from the roof.
Half way through my shoveling I got fed up with how warm I was so I threw a fit and tossed my gloves and scarf at my house. No lie. I was really genuinely angry at the snow. AND IT JUST KEPT FALLING.
In one of my fits of rage I threw myself into the snow. I got snowy. I had a clump of snow in my hair. I was cold. But this is not from that incident. This is just how deep the snow was on my leg when I was shoveling the steps.
Finally after 45 minutes I was done. Only by then the snow had begun to blow onto it again. . .
Regis home again. He wouldn't go into the driveway because the plow left a huge bank my dad had to snow-blow, but he's happy to be home none the less.
For those of you in warmer climates who claim you want snow, take it back RIGHT NOW. It's horrible and it's negative attributes greatly out-weigh it's positive ones. You may think, "Oh, I can make snowpeople and have snowball fights." Only if the snow is the sticky kind, buddy. Otherwise everything you make falls apart or sticks to your mittens and you're left with nothing but a pile of snow on top of even more snow and cold fingers. "It's so beautiful though, Lindsay. The white is breathtaking." It's beautiful until five cars pass by, then it turns into salty brown slush that is thrown up from the road by tires and splattered on your yard. You also need to shovel it, trudge through it, drive in it, and it's wet when it melts once you're inside.
I'll take your sunshine and you can have this cursed white stuff.

Cheers, I guess. School at 8:00 tomorrow, and it's still snowing so I'll have to drive slowly and wipe Regis clean come morning.
