I really don't feel like doing anything at work today. Started the morning watching Juve get trounced by Parma *snicker*. Amauri cut his hair...unfortunately that didn't seem to assist his play. MEH. Followed that game up with the Lazio match. I shouldn't be too upset that it ended in a draw since Lazio was away and facing a relatively decent Genoa ( Read more... )

Golden Globe nominations out today. The full list is available online. My thoughts…

First and foremost, I really believe the Hollywood Foreign Press just nominates some of these people so they are ensured to have a bunch of A-listers attend the ceremonies.

Robert DeNiro will receive the Cecil B. DeMille award. I’m more interested in seeing who ( Read more... )

Other than football, not really too much happened this weekend....just the usual grocery shopping and reading - currently War of the Worlds. Funny but that book isn't nearly as great as I recall it being. I also gave the bathroom a good cleaning...ugh. Now my nose is stuffed up and I fear I have come down with some form of a cold.

I took solace in ( Read more... )

Interesting week back at work. I was sick for two of the five days but managed to make it through. Things are definitely slowing down as I am spending more time working on finance than transfers...YAY. As for the week that was outside of work, I started resuming my daily yoga practice skipping only one day due to a headache. Nothing much happening ( Read more... )

AmI the only one who found the MTV Movie Awards to be just plain stupid? They used to be entertaining but now they are just disgusting. Other than perving on the celebs in attendance I really can't see any other reason for watching this show. Most of the 'alleged' jokes were tacky I was embarrassed for the performers. The whole Sasha Baron/Eminem ( Read more... )

The February meetings are over. They started out horribly and became progressively better. Now I just have to procrastinate on the meeting minutes for the next couple of weeks. Hehe. Seriously, I'm already halfway through the Junior notes thanks to the new laptop. I plan on finishing all notes by this Wednesday which I am taking off. I want to stay ( Read more... )

*sigh* Weekends are always over too quickly.

Happy belated Robbie Burns day and Happy Chinese New Year. Sadly, haggis and wontons do not mix so I'll pass on the celebrations. Moving on Down Under. Rafa is on to the quarter finals to face, arguably, my current favourite pet ATP player, Gilles Simon. He is so darned cute. I'll have to tape this match ( Read more... )

YAY! I was finally able to see a Rafa match live.  After the Lost premiere (does Lost ever make sense? I keep watching and waiting for some answers and all I get are more questions...now I know why the show is called LOST! Good to see Des & Penny and Daniel again though.), TSN started their live broadcast halfway into Rafa's match. Although the ( Read more... )

The two big events of the weekend were the Real Madrid/Mallorca game and the Golden Globes. Both were surprisingly tame affairs. RM won...of course. Higuain was back - thankfully - and he set up two of the three goals. Ray Hudson found every way possible to praise him - you would have thought it was the second coming. Gosh Ray, just sleep with him ( Read more... )

Other little things worth noting of late…

• watched Lost in Austen over the holidays. Brilliant. It should have been a full fledged tv series rather than a 4-part mini-series.
• PBS is now airing Tess of the D’Urbervilles. Part one was on last Sunday and this Sunday is the conclusion. Hans Matheson has a leading role. I still ( Read more... )
