FINALLY

                               
It's here, the most fantastic time of the year. No, not Christmas. No, not New Years, BUT...
The 70th annual Golden Globe nominees were announce today and the Academy will soon follow (Jan. 10th, to be exact). It's the time of the year when this guy ...
and I acquire the nominee list, and eagerly begin marking the films off one by one. By this time last year I remember being ahead of the game, so it made our defeat easier.  We're behind this season, but plan to make up for lost time over Christmas break, with two full weeks off (life of a student, life of a college employee). Thoughts, opinions, critiques will soon follow.
 Right now, I'm looking at Best Comedy or Musical. "Moonrise Kingdom" has been one of my favorites so far this year. It'd even be safe to say, it's been added to the favorites archive.
 
 
 
 InCREDIBLE.
 
Although, I foresee "Les Misérables" taking the win on this one, disappointment will not set in. I'm certain it will take my breath away. 
 
As far as Television goes, I am fully prepared to make predictions accordingly. However, be aware that I use the term 'predictions' loosely. I really mean, shows I hope will win.
Best TV-Drama: "Breaking Bad" (of course) Although, "Newsroom" would be a close second, in my humble opinion.
Best Actress TV- Drama: Connie Britton (yes, the hot mom from American Horror Story.) for "Nashville". So what? I like "Nashville".
Best Actor TV-Drama: Bryan Cranson, or Jeff Daniels. Both deserving.
TV Series -Comedy or Musical: Girls! Girls! Girls!
 
 
In my wildest dreams, Modern Family owns this category.
 
Best Actress TV- Comedy or Musical: Lena Dunham deserves it! Zooey Deschanel may be over played, but I still love her and would be satisfied with either. 
Best Actor TV-Comedy or Musical: Louis C.K.(would've loved to see Max Greenfield here)
 
Happy Award Season, to all!

wake up


Once upon a time there lived a girl
She slept in a lovely little cottage
Made of gingerbread and candy
She was always asleep
One morning she woke up
And the candy had mold on it
Her father blew her a kiss
And the house fell down
She realized she was lost
She found herself walking down a crowded street
But the people were made of paper
Like paper dolls
She blew everyone a kiss good-bye
And watched as they blew away

Well... here we are, my first official post on my first official blog. I've had a lot on my mind lately. It's finals week, which means that it's the last week of my first semester at North Texas. Being a transfer student, I only have about a year and a half to go before I'm all done. Future plans include moving to New York (the city that holds my heart) after graduation and I'm pretty eager to get there. On the other hand, I'm a sentimentalist and am always finding time to soak up each slice of life. It's because of this attribute that leaves me lying here mourning my semester. Soon it will all be over. I'll leave this comfortable little city and be forced to turn into a real-life adult. To be honest, I've treated fall 2012 like an ugly step-child. School took a backseat to everything this past semester. Although I had a good time, I'm not 18 years old anymore and I need to make it count. So I am making a deal with myself. GOALS- 3.5 next semester. I go to every single class. I put away my phone during lecture. I take notes and I read the book. Ride my bike everyday it's possible. Ask more questions. All the while, maintaining social activities and travels. I know how to balance, but I just keep tipping the scales.
