Why do people watch such strange stuff?

So I downloaded Safari 3, and the noticeable new feature is the ability to resize text boxes on most websites. I was just checking the Youtubes when I came across a video of a small baby Polar Bear on the "Videos being watched right now" bar at the top. Cute, huh? Yeah, well, German doctors were molesting it. I'm sure it makes perfect sense, but the language breaks me. It was called "Flocke", I think, if that's your sort of thing.

And Coronation Street was sad last night. Let's all raise a glass for the late Vera Duckworth...

Rain, rain, go away

It rained really hard after school so I cycled as fast as I could. But when I got in, it stopped. If I had just waited for 10 minutes I wouldn't have gotten soggy legs.

And tomorrow it's going to rain all day. With 38mph gusts. And on saturday it'll rain, and on sunday it'll rain. I mean I know we need it but why can't it just rain at night instead of waiting until 8am to get started? That's right when I leave the house. Ugh, damn life.

Only one question remains: How many lesbians does it take to switch a lightbulb? Answers in the comment box please. :D

Bad day

Isn't life just wonderful when two bad things happen and leave a big cloud all over your day but suddenly everything is fixed? It happened to me today. Maybe a bit too trivial, but they mattered to me. And that's what counts!

Lessons learned:
1. Stop going on Lost spoiler websites altogether. I was tricked into believing that someone dies- luckily they were joking. But it's just the jolt I needed to stop my filthy all-consuming habit...
2. Facebook e-mails are slow- just because you think your account has been hacked and the hacker has swapped emails and your password reset doesn't arrive within 10 seconds, doesn't mean it has been. So don't make a new account. It's not worth it.
3. Don't be late when the deputy head and head teacher are walking nearby. Say sorry and run away sharpish!
4. Never hold a glass of water. Or 4 at the same time. It will spill.

I love you all. COMMENT THIS. PLEASE. I DON'T FEEL CONFIDENT BECAUSE OF THE FEW COMMENTS I AM RECEIVING.

The Golden Globes

I'm not gonna talk about all of the awards because it would be silly, but here are some of my opinions-

Best film (drama)

Atonement

Also nominated:
American Gangster
Eastern Promises
The Great Debaters
Michael Clayton
No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood

Eh, fair enough. Atonement was very good but suffered from a rather boring middle. My sister lost the plot and whispered "What's going on?" I've seen it twice and for good reason- the beginning was brilliantly constructed, but when it suddenly skips four years, the feeling of disorientation lasts for a lot longer than it should. The final scene was clever, and that's why I like it. A nice sad ending always makes me feel good. :D Well, I'm lying, when I first saw it the audience was in tears. And I was depressed.

Best supporting actress

Cate Blanchett - I'm Not There

Also nominated:
Julia Roberts - Charlie Wilson's War
Saoirse Ronan - Atonement
Amy Ryan - Gone Baby Gone
Tilda Swinton - Michael Clayton

Well deserved. She was a really good man. Apparently she put a sock down there? Saoirise Ronan who played the youngest Briony in Atonement was also very good as well. But Cate stole the show in I'm Not There, the Bob Dylan Biopic.

Best series (musical or comedy)

Extras

Also nominated:
30 Rock
Californication
Entourage
Pushing Daisies

I disagree with this. The second series (that I presume they're judging) sort of... sucked ass. There was a lot of filler and I only carried on watching it hoping it would be good again but... no dice. 30 Rock should have won- funniest show ever. We all know it's true!

Best actress (musical or comedy)

Tina Fey - 30 Rock

Also nominated:
Christina Applegate - Samantha Who?
America Ferrera - Ugly Betty
Anna Friel - Pushing Daisies
Mary-Louise Parker - Weeds

Tina Fey TOTALLY deserved this award. She's totally the funniest thing ever. And America Ferrera was good as well.

I'm just wondering why Lost wasn't nominated? Totally best show ever. Maybe it would win so much they didn't want to upset the balance?

So I went and made a Blog.

So basically I thought this was a good idea. Wrong or right? I'll try and keep it going for a hwile. But I have nothing to write about.

Except February. It's gonna be like, the greatest month in our lives.

Dates for your diaries:

February 1st:I will be able to watch the first episode of Lost Season Four online. I need to know what happens! I saw a super-sweet trailer and a sneek peek from the ABC website and I am totally pumped. Beware that I will go on about Lost ridiculously and each post will contain at least One Lost Reference. Cloverfield is also released. I heard about this film ages ago and then my Media Studies teacher talked about it and we all watched the trailer. Which can be found HERE and if you haven't seen it or at least heard the name then you have been living under a rock for a long, long time.
A random day in the month: SKINS comes back. Loved that series last time it was on and I can't wait for all the sex and drugs.
February 7th: The BASTARD BRACES are coming off. The front teeth gap suddenly shrank on Saturday so all is well.
February 8th: Juno is released. Caitlin said that I will love this film. It looks nice, and I love those low-budget films. Half term begins, and most of my friends go on the Ski trip. Me, Roz, Kizzy, and others aren't going, however. The next Lost is released. Whoopee!
February 12th: Having my teeth polished.
Every Friday in February: Another episode of Lost. I can't state enough that I love that show. OK, I'll tone it down from now on.
February 25th: Once is released on DVD! I absolutely loved this film so much that I wanted to see it TWICE. Or even more Tymz than that.
February 29th:It's a special day for Leap Year fans.
