Every year my friend Chris and I have a competition to see who can predict more Oscar winners. This was the sixth year in a row we have done this, and the sixth year he's won :( This year we had a lot of spectators too because Peter, Annie, and Rob came as well.
I was really glad that slumdog won as many as it did. such a good movie. I think i'll probably go buy the soundtrack at some point.
Although i like kate winslet, i really wanted Anne Hathaway to win for best actress. I dont know, I just did. Best supporting actor was a no brainer, and best actor I was very happy with.
I loved the girl from slum dog's dress as well as Anne Hathaway and Natalie portman. There were other pretty ones too, but without going through the pictures again thats what comes to mind.
WTF is with philip seymour hoffman's cap? Also sofia loren scares me.

Step Brothers
Last night, out of a lack of other options on demand Peter and I watched Step Brothers. (he wanted to watch a movie since he was sick).
To my surprise it was actually really funny. I found myself laughing during a good portion of the movie.
The plot itself was nothing special and rather dumb, but the movie knew that and didnt even focus on it. I recommend watching it if you are bored.

Best.Present.Ever
Peter knows what love is...and it is guitar hero III legends of rock. He got it for me and i've been rocking out pretty hard ever since.
If you are reading this blog and have no intentions of playing with me i'm pretty awesome. There is no one greater.
If, on the other hand, you'll probably see my skillz for yourself....well just keep in mind i've only had it two days and will most likely get better at some point.
If you live near me or happen to pass by or have a car and want to drive come on over and play with me!

I need new Pants part II
you may recall my blog last week talking about my attempt to salvage my pants by having two patches sewn into it. Well today I went to put on my jeans and i noticed a brand new giant hole in my upper left thigh. awesome. I think i may just retire these and go shopping this weekend for new pants.

Valentines Weekend
Peter and I took advantage of the long weekend and drove up to Cooperstown NY. It was a 6.5 hour drive, but totally worth it. Right from when we first drove in it was such a cute little town.
Sat we started off the day by going to the baseball hall of fame (the main attraction for the weekend). it was very interesting and very exciting to see the red sox memorabilia. My favorite was schilling's bloody sock. Don't worry, i took a picture.
Sat night we went to The Otesaga resort for dinner. Its closed for the weekend and opened just its ballroom for a special valentines day dinner. It was very cute. The food was AWESOME and they had live music which was very nice. The one odd thing was the singer...she kept talking about her unresolved father issues and eventually sang a song that summed up their relationship...The wind beneath my wings...it was awkward.
Sunday we went to the omegang and Cooperstown breweries. The omegang had really good beer. REALLY good. And the tour was cool b/c they were actually making stuff. We bought a lot there. The Cooperstown brewery was alright. The beer was only so so, then AFTER the tasting they took us on the tour where they casually mentioned that to clarify the beer they put in swim bladder EEEEEEEEEEW also making not vegetarian. wtf. I've been on MANY brewery tours and done my own fair amt of research, and i knew this existed but i was pretty sure legit breweries didn't do that anymore. On the plus side their bottling machine was really cool.
Monday we drove around the lake which was totally frozen and had ice fishers all along it. It was really pretty but time to leave town, so we continued out and went to Scranton for lunch with kelly. That was fun and we got to get a feel for the town where the office takes place :)
Fun weekend all around

He's Just Not That Into You
No, i'm not talking about my own situation :) I am talking about the movie.
Last night Tristan Becky and I went to go see it with mixed expectations. Katie and Laura sorta shrugged and said "well, its cute, but just ok" and sarah through leslie said it wasnt very good. But I had read the book, seen the sex in the city episode, and was excited for the movie anyway
Turns out It was pretty darn good. I mean...to the guys that read this blog, dont see it, you will hate it, but to the girls that read this go see it. Its cute, and kinda insightful. I like how they changed some things from the book to talk about how some girls are the exception to the rule but generally you are the rule.
I think its the type of movie i'll buy and watch on snow days and sick days or just days when i need a girly movie like love actually.

tailors
A few weeks ago i was complaining to leslie that my nice jeans have two holes forming in them, one on the knee and one in the crotch. She had the same pair with the same holes, except she got them patched and they are fine now. Awesome, i'll just get mine patched too.
Disaster
The knee got a 7 inch patch so the fabric no longer bends when i walk, so if you look at my knee it looks like there is some sort of knee pad inside my pants. awesome. also the place where the hole was they didnt even match the thread color when they sewed back and forth over it.
The crotch patch is sewn on 3 of the 4 sides which means that one side is already peeling off, and there is some sort of itchy material sticking out of all the sides that scratches every time i take a step.
The icing on the cake was an added bonus. On my drive to work this morning i noticed a bump on my thigh that felt kinda sticky. when i got to work i went into the bathroom to see what it was. mint gum.
Thanks Georgetown valet in Clarendon. you managed to ruin a 200 dollar pair of jeans. word to the wise...DONT GO THERE.
