Golden Globes 2010

Did everyone see the Golden Globes? Well I did and there were a lot of highlights there. There were also some downsides. I made a list of them:

{Highlights}
- Christoph Waltz winning "Best Supporting Actor" award for "Inglourious Basterds". He was definitely the best performer in that film and he really deserved to win.
- Sandra Bullock winning "Best Leading Actress, Drama" for "The Blind Side". She's one of my favorite actresses and I could never explain why. Now I finally have a good reason!
- Ricky Gervais joking about Mel Gibson
- Robert Downey Jr. winning for "Best Leading Actor, Musical/ Comedy" for "Sherlock Holmes". And his acceptance speech was another highlight.
- Paul McCarthey telling people that animated movies are also for adults... on drugs.
- Jeff Bridges winning "Best Leading Actor" for "Crazy Heart". I always thought he was an underestimated actor. Now he got recognition.

{Downsides}
- Monique winning "Best Supporting Actress" for "Precious". I'm just not a fan of Monique (can't really stand her). I would've given it to Vera Farmiga, Anne Kendrick, Penelope Cruz OR Julianne Moore.
- "Avatar" winning "Best Motion Picture, Drama". Come on, I don't get the whole hype. Why didn't they just give it to "Inglourious Basterds".
- "Inglourious Basterds" not winning at all (besides Christoph Waltz). I knew it! And at the Academy Awards it'll be the same. It's not Academy material.
- "(500) Days of Summer" not winning "Best Motion Picture, Musical/ Comedy".

The rest I didn't really care much for. In two weeks they will announce the Academy Award nominees. I will probably try to guess who will win (and tell you who I want to win). So that's coming soon....

The Full Monty

I love the movie "The Full Monty" , about six unemployed men who decide to become strippers, because women would pay a lot to see the Chippendales. Only these men will go the full monty. Well, yesterday I saw it live! I went to see the musical version of "The Full Monty" and I have to say that it's the most hilarious musical I ever saw. The story was very similar to the movie and the songs were great. The leading actors were perfectly cast. Especially Dave and the suicidal Martin. They were also the funniest men of the group.
In the movie you don't actually see them going the full monty, because you see their behind. But in the musical we saw every bit of it! Reviews said it only took 3 seconds. Well, it was a little bit more then three seconds. I think it's very brave of those guys to do that every night in front of so many people (mostly women). They got a loud applause and they had to come back for like three or four times. It's a great musical and if it plays in your country, please go see it. It's a real treat. As you can see, I had a lot of fun:

Animal themed layouts

I made three new layouts for my scrapbook. I realized, after I finished them, that they all involve animals. The first one is with birds, the ones that I spotted in our yard.



The second layout features my day and my dog Tyson. They both like to take a nap on the couch. Cute huh!



Last but not least a layout about my rabbit Oscar. Weird little Oscar.



I hope you like my work. I'm certainly happy with them. I hope you feel inspired....

Silly rabbit

My rabbit Oscar really is a weird animal. When I come down in the morning, he actually greets me (just like a dog). He stand up straight and he won't stop until I say something to him. He can jump very high! He actually jumped out of his cage once. I was getting him food, so I let the lid open for a while. All of a sudden he was standing next to me. He also can have his racing moments. He starts racing trough his cage, like a stark raving made rabbit. But I read that it means that he's happy (in his case very happy, he's like roadrunner). Oscar also gives bunny kisses. He licks you (again, just like a dog). Apparently that means that he's comfortable with you. So my conclusion, I have a silly but very happy rabbit. Here are some pictures I took when Oscar thought he had to hide in the hay.

Down with Downey Jr.

I haven't made any new wallpapers for a long time. I had the Supernatural wallie up for a while now. I never get sick of those guys, but it was time for a fresh wallpaper. So I made one of Robert Downey Jr. That guy fascinates me everytime. I don't know what it is, but he does something to me. I'm looking forward to him in "Sherlock Holmes" which premieres this thursday here in the Netherlands. And I absolutely loved him in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. So here's the wallpaper:



I thought that was a very funny photoshoot of him. Especially the one with the TNT cigare. The letters I used are from "The Godfather". For all of you Downey Jr. fans, feel free to use it on your own computer.

And this one I made for someone else, a huge Taylor Lautner fan (I'm not a fan BTW). It's in the same style as the Robert Downey jt. wallpaper.

Winter Birds

When it snowed here in The Netherlands I made some pictures of the birds in our yard.

Here is one of a Robin:



Two Sparrows:



A Tit Bird:



And a Blackbird:



These are great pictures for my scrapbook. Hope you like them too.

Happy New Year !

I want to wish everyone a very happy new year! May all your hopes, dreams and wishes come true. This year I know one thing is going to be fun. In April/May me and my friends Irene and Evelien are going to Disneyland Paris!!! So I'm really looking forward to that. For the rest... we'll just have to see what this year will bring us!

Best wishes for 2010 everyone! X Joyce
