AMY POEHLER FINALLY WON YOU GUYS! If you can believe it, it's her FIRST win despite being nominated THIRTEEN times. Let's take a moment to celebrate/dance/scream:
HOWEVER, Tatiana Maslany did not win for Orphan Black. And this was my reaction:
At least she won best dressed by a landslide, in my totally biased and fanatic opinion. Look at this flawlessness:
You're a winner in my heart, Sarah/Beth/Cosima/Allison/etc
Speaking of dresses, WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON LAST NIGHT? Eek, I thought the Oscars were bad. But then this happened:
Pants. She's wearing pants. Under a dress. UNDER. A. DRESS.
And this:
I HATE bad posture and pigeon-toed posing. STAND UP STRAIGHT GURL.
Oy J-LAW:
This is Dior's fault, obviously. Poor contractual obligations.
Though someone hilariously made this connection:
Everyone should be SO LUCKY to be compared to Ariel.
AND WHAT THE EFF IS THIS?
"What is on my TV screen?"-everyone watching last night.
Ugh, ok we need to bring in the national treasures that are Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Emma Thompson to remind us that some people are always going to be on point.
Seriously, go watch VEEP. It's the best. SHE'S the best.
I want to be Emma Thompson when I grow up.
A few of my other favorites from last night include:
Cate Blanchett's speech- the first ever to incorporate Judy Garland, barbiturates, vodka, and the Magic Castle, I think?
CUMBERBATCH AND FASSBENDER.
I think my ovaries just burst.
This dress.
These older gents who kind of nailed it?
This color:
By the way, I totally called that this was Calvin Klein.
Sometimes I impress myself.
This text from my mother re: Jared Leto:
NO JANE NOOOOO! But..ugh I kind of get it.
Jane has good taste when it comes to faces.
SPEAKING OF LETO, I have this absurd fascination with him and his.....ways. Now I'm sure he's a nice guy, his face IS killer, and he clearly deserves his Golden Globe, but he also does things like this. On purpose:
OF COURSE, to each his own, everyone should feel free to do what they want, blah blah blah. But I'm sorry, I like to stalk/harass him A LITTLE BIT on Twitter. Nothing crazy, just to see if I can make him respond (or call the cops). I call it "Bother Leto". Here are a few of my favorites:
Now for the best part of ANY night/day/event/life: the amazingness that IS Amy and Tina. They truly are comedy geniuses and they know how to nail the true life facts. The BEST jokes are without a doubt:
“Gravity is nominated for best film. It’s the story of how
George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more
minute with a woman his own age.”
“One of my favorite films this year is the movie Her, which
takes place in the not so distant future. Which is perfect, because so does
Joaquin Phoenix.”
“Matthew McConaughey is here. For his role in Dallas Buyers
Club, he lost 45 pounds, or what actresses call ‘being in a movie.’”
“And now, like a supermodel’s vagina, let’s all give a warm
welcome to Leonardo DiCaprio.”
I'm knee deep in it, folks. Need to do: 12,000 word dissertation (!), two 5,000 word essays (!!), one 2,500 word essay (!!!), and one 2,000 word essay (.....sorry I passed out for a second). BASICALLY, I'm close to the end of my rope (see what I did there?!) However, there are a few things that I just can't get enough of at the moment that are making the process a little easier. Hope you like them too! ....and that you don't have to write 26,500 words in the next month because that's MY THING. GET YOUR OWN. honeyhoney - "Lost Highway" (Hank Williams cover) I've been obsessed with hh for a few years now and the obsession is not letting up anytime soon. They're such a great blend of folk, americana, and indie. Plus they are a joy to see play live since they have such great personalities. (I swear, I'm not their manager....I wish). I had the pleasure of seeing them perform at a small pub here in London and they killed it, per usual. Esp...
I recently took a trip to Amsterdam with my parents. I know, that sentence in of itself is worthy of a good therapy session, but none of us had been and it seemed like a cool city to go explore in the short time they were across the pond visiting me. (Plus I really wanted to sing Roxanne by The Police whenever I saw a red light because C'MON. When else can you do that?) The city was beautiful and everyone was super friendly. It was worth the trip just for a visit to the Anne Frank House ( without Justin Bieber, that foolish child ), but we were lucky enough to fit in a few more things before we had to leave. I tried to learn a few Dutch phrases, but per usual everyone spoke perfect English. Something I'm still trying to master. Here are some of the (many, many) pictures I took during our two days: Outside the Anne Frank House Outside the library, which was obviously our first stop. Matching the city's laid back 'tude, cats just ...
IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS?! God, I'm sorry. I feel like I went out for cigarettes and then just left you guys for the traveling troubadour that I met at an open mic night. Truthfully, I didn't feel like I had anything to write about when I stopped traveling around Europe and having adorable fish out of water experiences. But weirdly, a lot of life still managed to happen here in the good ol' USA (I will not talk politics) and, as I am now currently writing this in a coffee shop, my transition into Basic Brooklyn Hipster is now complete. The biggest change has been in my "career". After having a job in a different field for two years, I am back in the TV world and am currently a freelancer...which is a fancy way of saying I'm unemployed a lot of the time. It's a temporary life, but it's one that has been filled with nuggets of self-awareness and eye-opening realizations. Here are 10 things I've discovered while freelancing/riding that unemploym...
