Disclaimer: I have not had cable TV since 2014. I had Sling TV for 1 month during the 2016 Olympics and caught up sometimes on trips I made after that or by DVD at the library. The rest I rely on non loading YouTube or gossip.

The Critics Choice

(From last year monologue because I can’t get a straight answer on YouTube and they’re prepping for the Emmys on EW) The other websites won’t load.

I didn’t win my one category! I wrote this post the day after the Golden Globes and thought Abby’s biggest competition would be Milo and Madeleine…

All three nominated from The Holdovers won so I guess they didn’t want to leave anyone out.

Original Post:

I’m only voting in ONE category

for Abby

I couldn’t believe they did this movie!

January 14th Chelsea Handler better be nice! 

(CW airing)

———-

And of course all day since I wrote this at 7am the Lexington witches are screaming/chanting and asking for a definition of nice.

I really really did not like this book growing up. BUT I really really want her to win because I really really did not like this book!

It seems they also have clients that want one of the others to win. WWIII is really really stoopid!

Best Young Actor/Actress 

Abby Ryder Fortson, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.
Ariana Greenblatt, Barbie
Calah Lane, Wonka

And then there was a library argument on a previous notice of V.C. Andrews. I spent the day on Wikipedia learning about her ghostwriter.

I learned about those on LinkedIn but do not have one in case you’re wondering. I have tried the google version of AI. I like to copy and paste too. Not a whole book.

“Letters from Boys” was going to be in their own writing… argument? It’s addressed to me.

So was my relative Walker B Allen. It was for my Aunt so there might be a tiff but my mom was his favorite.

They didn’t believe I saw a new book from V.C. Andrews in 2018-2020 at the library.

They had changed a chant of “correct” to “Corrine” who was a Cassadee Pope fan from NBC who lived in Louisville back then. She sold Plunder.

I thought it was interesting when I read the back cover and put it back.

Creepy book. I guess ideas…

It’s about a chess game.

*Squeal*

 

The HGTV Dream Home 2024 is up!

Anastasia Island (St Augustine)

Okay in all honesty I’m not all about Florida. I went in 2021 and the weather is so odd for a native Californian

But just like everyone else. I’d suffer for the cause.

The colors are GORGEOUS.

Love the downstairs master area and upstairs lounge worthy loft.

Just a few notices of furniture but this is all the criticism I’m going to give.

Examples: I want more formal head of the table chairs type of deal. Or none at all. Just the four chairs on either side. And move to one on each side for entertaining/dinner. Elbow room.

Remove the TV in the living room. I really am laughing but that Apple TV I saw is a screen attached to the ceiling that comes down when you want to watch TV!

And do you need a TV with that view!

No tween room day bed upstairs.

That’s it for now. I couldn’t get very much to load today.

I’m already paying off my house with a third of the 100k. Move will probably take the rest.

Once again though these stoopid witches are claiming that it’s all just a scam and has already been purchased from the losers living off of me.

I mean they have “clients” that make business deals against any fun!

Update: All the furniture gone from the front and benches made out of the “Stately Seaside Decking” will do for entertaining guests who are not allowed to pass. I’m thinking both sides of the porch and against the house on either side like borders

All the furniture out of the backyard and drain and cover the pool. (I learned that from Real Housewives!) 

The BBQ area will probably be the only thing used. The bar stools from the kitchen can double. Then eating in the covered porch

I’m really interested to know if the loungers are foldable. If they are portable I want to sit outside upstairs or downstairs to read a book and get fresh air.

Way too much “it always rains at 2:30pm” and then there’s hurricanes. They would just be for staging it back again for resale and better in storage.

Is there an apartment above the garage? (the only reason the doggie bath would be used. Beer and soda holder and then melt the ice after the party!)

I saw today how the garage had an indoor entrance (awesome) with a mud room on the way to the kitchen.

There are more bathrooms then I thought! The pool bath is my favorite. I would think of a security lock somehow as it is the back door to the outside.

There’s an ostrich picture in the upstairs bathroom to get rid of.

And what’s the fabric thing in the bathroom was my first thought but read that it was a makeup vanity (?) Good idea and of course I would check underneath the fabric. Most of us are doing makeup by the window now and I think the master bedroom will do somehow. There are those white stools that I like…

Thinking again (it’s still in my email) Sell the luxury car and get an SUV to drive back and forth to town. I found a Hyundai Venue for more my needs. Supposedly everyone is going to electric. The Mini Cooper Electric might be ready by then. Anything more than $25,000 is a waste for me.

And if you see that steep driveway as a hazard I was going to maybe have a single person stairway down one side of the driveway. It looks steep to me! Dragging the bicycle or roller blades behind me. If I could widen the entrance from the street I would.

So this is 2024

 If I have 5G and can not get past LTE and am awake minimumly vertical at least 20 hours a day and am so tired I can only be on Merge Mansion or sitting at my kitchen sink

Yes smoking for the country’s non smokers. 

Wouldn’t I have “up 2000%” instead  of people stealing from my eyeballs? I’m not use to eyeball seeing when I close my eyes and would never agree to it. I’ve been fighting this too long since 2005.

Oh and there are tiny brown birds outside sitting on my outside branches going crazy chirping and I walk to the window and a bird flew to the ledge to say hi.

JUST SKIP TO 2025!

Team Coco PS

This really is the whole movie! Had to post it.

 Robert Downey Jr on Rob Lowe’s Podcast

I didn’t even know Rob Lowe had a podcast!

My request is that Robert Downey Jr does a Part 2 documentary on his grandfather. And l haven’t seen Part 1 yet. It’s supposedly on Netflix.

A “Sound Byte Cornucopia” and I don’t even know how to spell that!

A listen during award season…

For Rob Lowe’s question at the end I was surprised they were both so political. I think I had moved from L.A. by then 

but as I remember Sam was running for Governor of California (?) Senator (?) I gotta go with that era on West Wing with his character 

Then a Christmas Replay of Molly Ringwald

I have only seen three movies of hers so it was fun to hear her talk about other things with Rob.

This was from 2021 and I just saw a clip about Feud: Capote vs The Swans. 

She’s playing Joanne Carson! 

The Golden Globe

Update: Score 5 wins!

I saw about 56 pictures that EW was able to capture fashion wise 

Cutest couple Heidi Klum and Lenny Kravitz

In picture order:

Jordana Brewster

Gillian Anderson

Jonathan Bailey

Rosamund Pike

Hailee Steinfeld

Raul Domingo

Hannah Waddingham

Every Ken gets two Barbies to escort!

Original post:

January 7th I’m being woken up for! (I made the mistake of reading the EW email again!)

Remember I have not been allowed at the movie theater since 2022. So why pick them? 

I decided to do what I use to and vote before the award show airs. Usually it was in the newspaper announcing it.

Watching the award ceremony would be part of “what do I need to see” back then. 

The best example from the past? An award show talking about “Leaving Las Vegas” (with the intros and best scenes) I went to the movie theater the next day. The internet ruins everything like that.

Best Motion Picture — Drama

Killers of the Flower Moon or

Oppenheimer ✅

I have to add Maestro to my list to watch though. They like the foreign movies. There’s a category for that!

Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy

Barbie or

The Holdovers

Cinematic and Box Office Achievement 

Barbie ✅

Mission Impossible-Dead Reckoning
Oppenheimer

I didn’t want to watch Mission Impossible on purpose. I probably usually would have so I added it.

Best Director - Motion Picture 

Martin Scorsese, Killers of the Flower Moon

Best Screenplay- Motion Picture

Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, Barbie
Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer
Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese, Killers of the Flower Moon

This one depends so I’m voting all three. It’s the screenplay to even want to make the movie. Not the final product

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama

Leonardo DiCaprio, Killers of the Flower Moon

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture- Drama 

Annette Bening, Nyad

Lily Gladstone, Killers of the Flower Moon ✅

Cailee Spaeny, Priscilla

Not fair Annette!

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy

Nicolas Cage, Dream Scenario

Timothee Chalamet, Wonka

Paul Giamatti, The Holdovers ✅

This one is really hard to vote (Paul)

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture- Musical or Comedy 

Margot Robbie, Barbie

Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture

Willem Dafoe, Poor Things

Robert De Niro, Killers of the Flower Moon

Robert Downey, Jr., Oppenheimer ✅

Ryan Gosling, Barbie

Mark Ruffalo, Poor Things

This one is just too tough to vote on and not fair. Willem Dafoe could have the best scenes in the worst movie on the planet!

Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture

Emily Blunt,  Oppenheimer

Jodie Foster, Nyad

Julianne Moore, May December

hmmm… boys will vote for Julianne Moore (Emily)

Best Original Score - Motion Picture

Over to you. Does it stay with you? Do you want to own the soundtrack? I use to buy them on purpose.

And Then There’s More!

I spent all day yesterday learning the new website, how to set up an event and then there was the new product launch! 

This comes in Graphite and Heathered Oatmeal

Shown is the Grout System. Also works with our handle.

Yesterday’s EW email said Eddie Murphy is coming back this summer as Beverly Hills Cop 4

Candy Cane Lane?????

Missed it

I don’t care how bad the movie is it is going in my Christmas Movie Top 10 list.

The San Fernando Valley Girl wins again.

I was trying to remember who took me. I think my sister and brother-in-law and then later I went with friends

Update: Sequel to Christmas Vacation? I read Chevy Chase and Randy Quaid are thinking about it???

 

New Years Resolutions

Roddy has started January with the monthly VIP offer!

Meanwhile Julius is saying “Christmas needs to be cleaned up!” and he’s stealing what I need for the Caroling Program!

Update: Finished cleaning for Julius with 8 hrs to spare. Now I have 1-1/2 days to finish the Caroling.

Update: I decided not to extend Caroling for another 2 days after that and take my losses at Level 45/50. This time I remembered to turn in all the points and received the lights at the last minute but no

- Snow covering the wooden stands!

- Add ribbon to the arch and gold gildings on the ornaments!

- Final touches to the caroling stage: bells!

In real life: My year was over on December 21st. Still my left arm pain from falling down but I’m trying.

I was able to make a fist yesterday.

2024 Resolutions 

1. Detached from and free to be me (like before 2005)

2. Grow my brain back

3. Move to safety

They’re still here 24/7 adding but they are adamant that as witches they’re allowed. And I continue to say the same back. They’re not! I’m allowed!

Update: I had to show them my baby Bible from June 3rd 1969 finished by baptism on February 7th 2015. They’re here screaming in 2024.

4. Norwex year!

As consultants we got a sneak peek training pack of videos on all the new changes!

5. Maintenances: ✅ Landscape left half, Power/Pressure Wash porch and HVAC service

6. Purchases: New toilet, ✅ Ladder/lights (now I need an electrician… possibly a ballast but they’re not working) and Dyson Vacuum 

7. Things to do: Budget Bills, Medicare and Rent Car for errands 

8. City Waitlist for plumbing (311 clear)

9. Physical Therapy: Run over, kicked in the head, lots of fall downs and hand/wrist. Can’t bother until they’re done mutilating me and detach.

10. Fix Car/Door

Weird List huh? Nothing there that you’re barking at me about witches 

And it could take me “my whole life”
