I don't know what happened, but with the end of the year and a ton of holiday hooplah, I just checked out. It wasn't helped by my utter lack of inspiration and creativity. Is it just me, or is stuff not so interesting right now? The new House Beautiful? Blah. The new Elle Decor? Yeah, it was all right I guess... But here I am, attempting to make a go of 2010 and see the good.
But let's discuss some of the things that have taken place since we parted back in November (gosh that's hard to admit):
First, Jersey Shore.
Are you watching? I can't do it. I can do a lot of things when it comes to lowering my standards, but there is something about this show that absolutely disgusts me. I'm shocked about how big it is and that despite my protest, they still end up in the pages of my US and appearing on my talk shows. Disgusting, but if you disagree, by all means knock yourself out.
Tiger.
I don't have anything new to add to this topic, and mainly that's because after hearing about him and his dozen for nearly a MONTH AND A HALF, I'm surprised that ANYONE has anything else to say! Talk about running something to the ground. I do find it fascinating that the same people who made him in to the "Golf God, Can Do No Wrong, Athlete of the Decade" man, are the same people who are tearing him down and not covering the real issues, i.e., healthcare, wars (plural!), the economy, I can go on...(But. I do have to add that these pictures are creepy. It's no wonder they weren't released until a sex/porn/stripper/cheating/drug scan-dahl).
Charlie Gibson.
The middle of December marked the end of Charlie Gibson in my everyday life, and yes, as I previously mentioned, it was marked with tears. I was a wreck that night and it's with sadness that I see Diane Sawyer at 5:30pm. I would abandon network world news in protest, but I'm a creature of habit, what can I say?And finally. Movies.
What did you see over the holidays? Avatar broke a billion, Nancy Meyers released the same movie again, Twilight was still in theaters and 2009 was the best box-office year ever. With all the cutbacks and job losses, we didn't skimp on the movies. But I'm wondering what we all saw that really made us think "that was great." Personally, my favorite movie from the holiday season was The Young Victoria. It was beautiful and Emily Blunt was amazing. But call me crazy, I don't think many people are going to be lining up for a period drama...
So in summation, I'm back. Worse for the wear, as the holiday season/birthday/new year gauntlet always takes it out of me. It does, however, make me re-evaluate and take things in to consideration and hopefully, it gives us something to talk about.
Happy New Year.

I'm saddened that you'll not lower your standards, if only for an hour a week, to watch the Jersey Shore. Aside from enabling me to see Guidos/Guidettes in their natural environment, allowing me to feel like Jane Goodall (My own mental title for the show being "Guidos In The Mist" with the mist of course referring to all the self tanner) this show has given me an idea. Unlike most folks I say we need MORE of these shows. Double, triple, even quadruple the volume. Why? Simple, a government funded anti-breeding program. While on the show all the vodka and vino these mopes drink is laced with a chemical rendering them sterile. Just think, we could help build a world without Jwoww's. We’d be able to usher in a golden age of knowledge. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch a looping clip of Snookie getting punched in the face for the next hour.
