Oscar Night!

So here are my 2010 Oscar picks:

Best Picture
Having only seen 5 of the 10 nominated movies I am going with Avatar.

Best Actor
Jeff Bridges: Loved, Loved, Loved Crazy Heart and he did an amazing job!

Best Supporting Actor
I have not seen any of the movies that the nominees were in, so I am going with Woody Harrelson because he's my fave!

Best Actress
I'm torn with this category...Meryl and Sandra both did AMAZING jobs in The Blind Side and Julie and Julia, but if I have to choose, I'll pick Meryl Streep, her portrayal of Julia Child was phenomenal.

Best Supporting Actress
The only movie I saw in this category is Crazy Heart so I am pulling for Maggie Gyllenhaal. She did a great job and I love her, so go Mags!

Director
I am kind of pulling for Kathryn Bigelow, for one because The Hurt Locker very moving and also I am a little turned off by James Cameron. He's seems very arrogant, even though Avatar was amazing!

Animated Feature
Not because it is the only one in this category that I have seen, my pick is for Up because it was WONDERFUL! I LOVED it.

Original Screenplay
I again am going to go with Bob Peterson and Pete Doctor (Up), however would not be disappointed if Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker) wins.

Cinematography
The Hurt Locker

Visual Effects
Star Trek... I guess.

Original Song
"The Weary Kind" Theme from Crazy Heart.

Good luck to all my faves....."love your hair, hope you win!"

My thought process.....

So, I made a resolution not to let to much time pass between blogs and 2 months later here I am. Procrastination is my middle name so I am blogging....12:45 am and this is what is on my mind...

I sometimes feel like I am no where near where I should be and I sometimes feel like I am exactly where I should be.

I am really curious to know what makes and molds a person's work ethic...is it role models, schooling, money?

I am in complete awe of my husband.

I really wish that I was a musician.

If I could meet one famous person, it would be Dirk!

I want to retire at the age of 30.

I can not believe that within the next year I will attend my 10 year high school reunion....where did all the time go?

I can't wait to BE Santa Claus.

I wish I could see the world as Chloe sees it for one day.

I would love to go back to school and be a high school English Lit. teacher.

I would go to every Avett Brothers concert if time, money, work allowed.

I miss girls night.

I wish I could be one of those people that said exactly what's on my mind, always standing up for myself, and never leaving a situation being a "wish I would have said" person....

I wonder if I will ever feel like an "adult".

I really think that if we could have a camera follow us around for a month, me and my friends would have a hit reality show....it's just a crazy little world we make for ourselves.

I am very thankful for the people in my life that love and support me....I don't know where or whom I would be without them.

Natie and Lori are my heroes.


I promised Rudder a blog every day until we leave on vacation...so here's blog one....just a little look into Blanki's brain....it's a crazy place.

HELLO 2010!

Hello and Happy New Year to you all!!! It has been an awesome holiday season and as always I hate to see it come to an end! I just took my Christmas decorations down, I know it is January 6th, but I have some very good reasons for the delay. I am really excited to start a new year, with many goals ahead to hopefully reach I am taking 2010 on head first! I know I have mentioned my list before so I am now ready to post it on the blog for everyone to see so hopefully I will be held more accountable and can beat the procrastination once and for all. We had an awesome Christmas and I just have to say that I am very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family in my life! We went to eat at Pepito's and bowling for my birthday. I had a blast and I just have to say that I still got my bowling skills...go YABA! We attended our many family functions and had a wonderful time getting to spend time with the family! We spent New Years Eve in town this year. It started with dinner at Outback and then to Brown's Corner where we rang in the new year with friends. It was the best New Years Eve in years. I woke up New Years Day and enjoyed some Auburn football and then hit the road for Atlanta to see Avett Brothers at the Fabulous Fox Theatre! They were amazing! It was my second Avett Show and it just left me wanting more and more and more! I can not get enough of them! Which leads me to now. Back at work full swing and sick...for the third time in the past few months! Which is part of my excuse for the delay in taking the Christmas decor down, the other reason is pure laziness! Check out the list and my new reviews! I will blog soon!
