Project 365: Days 8 Through 13

Another week into the year, means another week of daily photos!
January 8, 2015 - 8/365: Through the Crib Slats
January 9, 2015 - 9/365: Starbucks in PJs
January 10, 2015 - 10/365: Smoked Salmon Benny at Another Broken Egg Cafe. Although actually I still regret this decision and wish I had gone with pancakes or French toast or something else sweet instead.
January 11, 2015 - 11/365: Golden Globe Predictions. These were actually pretty miserable (everything you can see here was wrong!), so it's probably a good thing I didn't share them in full.
January 12, 2015 - 12/365: Baking. More on this to come, of course!
January 13 - 13/365: Only half asleep.

Did you make any Golden Globe predictions? If so, how accurate were you?

GG - 2013

Long time readers of the blog will know that I'm a little obsessed with the big award shows. Every year on my blog I've posted my Oscar predictions, and until last year, I'd posted Golden Globe predictions as well. This year I have't forget, so here are my predictions for tonight! And just to add, these are my predictions, not necessarily the ones I want to win. Feel free to post your own in the comments.

Edit: 10 out of 23, not bad but not amazing. At least I did better than last year. And my picks could have been higher if I had remembered to pick winners in the Best Song and Best Score category. Not I just have to beat the boy in our Oscar picks! (He won't pick Golden Globes with me, which is probably a good thing for me seeing how I did!)

Recap

So talk about my Golden Globes picks being WAY off. 8 out of 25. Yuck. At least I got the sucking out of me now, so I can dominate at the Oscars!

I was glad though Kate Winslet won both of her awards. Heath winning, wasn't really much of a surprise. Colin Farrell for In Burges was interesting. It definitely wasn't a typical Collin Farrell part, but he was good in it. I was kind of surprised since I've heard so little talk about that movie since it came out back in like what, the start of summer?

Also in TV news, the Bachelor, episode 2 was on tonight. I so love Jason. I think he's prob one of the best Bachelors so far. So let's see... I really like Megan. She reminds me of a lot of girls I went to college with. I was really happy she got the first rose, and said before hand I wanted her to. It was like she's freaking out so much already, it would calm her down a little by getting the first rose. I think the whole fight with Erika actually made her look good (at least on TV). She like talked to Erika one on one in the kitchen, and Erika was the one who had to involve everybody and make a big deal out of it.

Speaking of Erika, I really don't like her. She just comes off as an awful person. Probably partly due to producers (I mean giving her the last rose? A little obvious) So we'll see how it goes though.

I still do like Stephanie. Although she seems so much older than the other girls (and is too right?) and when her and Jason had their time together they didn't really click. But I guess they haven't really had their time together, so maybe on their date next week something will click.

The two girls that got kicked off. I can't really say I predicted it, but you could kind of tell during the ceremony. The teacher, I think Jason prob kept her last week since she quit her job. And this week realized there wasn't anything there. And Raquel, well, but getting into his limo it didn't look like she had a lot of patience. A bad move overall.

Moving past TV. I'm not sure when I'll be updating again. Me and the Boy are house sitting at his parents' house starting tomorrow for a week. Which means of course feeding horses. Now you understand the picture I posted, it's from the last time we house sat, last May. I'm not really an animal person, so I guess the fact I'll be feeding the horses every afternoon from Wednesday to Saturday says a lot.

Golden Globes 2009

I spent the afternoon at the Starbucks in Barnes and Nobles (Grande Cinnamon Dolce Latte and Vanilla Cupcake), which is quickly becoming my favorite Sunday afternoon pastime. Although, once we move into our new apartment I feel like it should stop. It's not that I don't enjoy it, but once we have our apartment I will be able to get my coffee stuff out and make my own cups. I won't however have access to the scores of magazines at Barnes and Nobles, so we'll see.

There are of course several things I want to start doing once we move. First is scrap booking. And not just at the apartment. I know there one store that does cropping sessions, and I think I should do that. It would definitely be a way to meet people. And maybe going to the farmer's market? That would be something I would like to do as a couple, but with the boy's schedule, I would have to do it myself.

Anyways the Golden Globes are on tonight, and I'm a sucker for awards shows. So without further ado, here are my picks for the winners tonight. It's a combination of who I WANT to win and who I THINK will when. Kinda difficult, because there is a lot of stuff I haven't seen, but hopefully will before the Oscars. So, here goes:
