My Oscar Predictions


No musical number...perhaps interpretive dance
A Muppet
Billy Crystal will make me want to scratch my eyes out
A Mitt Romney Joke (if not on TV then in my living room)
Octavia Spencer will be showing WAY too much cleavage
Bridesmaids
George Clooney will lose...again (he should not have run in flip-flops)
After careful thought and consideration..... Meryl will lose lucky number 16
When they show Glenn Close and her clip in Albert Nobbs it will be the part where she says her name is Albert and Miss and I will shudder
Navy will sleep through it

Way Off


Netflix thinks they know me.

They give me recommendations.

The last 7 things I streamed were...

Lost Boys
St. Elmos's Fire
Kramer vs Kramer
Philadelphia
The Last Emperor
Gosford Park
JFK

Based on that list Netflix recommends....

Sponge Bob Square Pants
SNL - Best of Chris Farley
Overboard
Winters Bone
Battlestar Galactica
Judy Mooney
Good Will Hunting

So....close?

Netflix should start a dating site.

Woah


50 songs people

I got 50 songs

That means those of you who played along will be getting two CD's.

I will admit...I jammed to a few new songs....

I will also admit Coldplay is on this mix and that hurt me (robin).

So this weekend I will burn. And I will mail out next week. 

Let me know what you think.

Oh and ummmm....one of my favorite songs is Jay-Z's 99 problems....

'cause I'm young and I'm black and my hats down low do I look like a mind reader sir, I don't know.

But I kept this mix edited.

The Book Club


This is the only pic I have from last night....but it will do. Bright Red kisses from Auntie Aubry

So book club met for the first time last night.

We read....

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

I liked it...others did not.

It was a good night. Surrounded by intelligent, strong, fun women.

It's what we as women need sometimes.

We laughed and shared and cried.

It was good.

And there was delicious food. 

I made this and it was delicious.

So who is in for next month?

And one more down....


This was the best part of last night.

Miss eating banana bread at Toasters.

Albert Nobbs?

AWFUL.

Like it was just awkward to watch. 

Even Glenn Close could not save that movie.

And I like quirky, sad, period pieces...but this....TERRIBLE.

Miss and I squirmed and looked away the whole time.

But we can check it off our list.

Oh and the banana bread? Not that good.

One more down....


This picture makes me laugh.

I did not even check it...just took it and realized it had half of miss this morning.

Iron Lady.

BOOOOOOOOOOORING

but....

Meryl Streep is AMAZING.

And I threw up on the way home.

So there is that.

Music Swap


In December Bestie Miss did a cookie swap.

It gave me an idea that I decided to do after baby was born.

Well...baby was born.

So here is it. 

A music swap.

Listen, it is no secret I am a music snob, but recently I started liking a song that is WAY out of my genre. So I got to thinking...what else is out there.

So here is the deal.....

Send me your favorite song(s) or your favorite song(s) right now.
I will compile all the songs
I will send you a CD with all the songs.

That simple. I PROMISE I will make no judgments. No ones songs will be labeled...It will come to you in plain ole mix tape fashion.

But then we can all be exposed to new music.

So email me at:

  sweetjdp at gmail dot com

Send me your song(s) and your address.

You have until February 20th.

And spread the word on your blogs and social networks...the more the merrier.

Maybe Miss will make me a button.
