My Favorite Moments from The Golden Globes 2013

Ben Affleck winning Best Director!

I couldn’t have been more excited for Ben!!  It was one of those moments where I was thinking in my head… “Come on, Ben… Come on, Ben”, knowing that he probably won’t win because he is up against Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, Ang Lee and Kathryn Bigelow and  was left off the Oscar nomination list…. but then HE WON!  You could tell he was truly surprised!!!

 

Jen playing the wife role!

Before doing her job of presenting the Golden Globe for Best Actor, Jen made sure to thank the few people Ben forgot… on behalf of her husband.  It was so cute.  Such a real moment.  And the Golden Globe for Cutest Couple goes to… Ben And Jen!

 

Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig and their hilarious bit!

I can’t wait for the day when the two of them host the Golden Globes or the Oscars.  They are beyond funny.  “And Judi Dench.. Where did she come from?”

 

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler –  Telling T Swift to stay away from Michael J Fox’s son!

“She needs some ‘me time’ to learn about herself!”

Adele’s acceptance speech!

Great acceptance speech! I loved how she was so herself and not “hollywood”!  She was really  living in the moment!

So Much To Watch, So Little Time

I seem to always be the one to  jump on the bandwagon of a popular TV show way after everyone else. In fact, sometimes I am pretty much the only one who is on the wagon because by the time I jump on, the TV show isn’t even aired on TV anymore. It happened to me with One Tree Hill. And with my newest addiction, Gossip Girl.

I started Season 1 of Gossip Girl at the beginning of the last two weeks of winter break with my sister, Allie. We flew through the first two seasons and had started the third season just as I was beginning my second semester of school. But, now my sister has left me in the dust in our journey together to finish all seasons. I have watched one episode since I have been back at school. She has watched 2 seasons. It’s killing me to find out what happens next, but I haven’t found time to watch it as much as I would like.

On top of that, I am hearing about all these amazing TV shows that I have to see from my friends and the Golden Globes like Homeland and Downton Abbey.

But, I can’t even manage to get through Gossip Girl. I also can’t even watch the Bachelor when it is on TV because I have class. So, my list of shows to watch just keeps growing! But I make no progress because there just isn’t enough time in the day. I was beginning to feel the pressure.

So, I knew I needed to put an end to this and I came up with a brilliant idea to watch a show while I’m at the gym. This way, I’ll want to go to the gym more often and I won’t feel guilty about wasting time watching TV because I’ll be making my heart healthy. And who could ever argue that as a waste of time?!

Today was day one of my brilliant plan. And it failed. I got up early, went down to the gym, signed into Netflix on my phone and as soon as I clicked on Gossip Girl a notification popped up saying that I needed to update my phone to iOS5 to watch it. (Side note: I have been terrified to update my phone due to the horror stories I’ve heard of losing everything on your phone by updating) I was crushed. Not only did that mean I couldn’t watch Gossip Girl while I worked out, but it also means that I just lost the battle of refusing to update my phone. For Gossip Girl and my brilliant plan, I’m waving the white flag and taking a risk. I’m going to update my phone.

Hopefully, day two of my plan will be more successful than day one! Cross your fingers for me.
