Brrrrrr. It is biting in London today. I all but pounced on the train this afternoon, just eager to get on it. The heater is on. I refused to even go back out to put the recyclables in the bin. Nope. This is it for me.
Once upon a time I used to stay up late to watch the Oscars, but then I said to myself, these people are millionaires and I am not. I have to get up early to make a hundredth of what they make. Sleep is more important. I love movies but not to the detriment of my beauty sleep not to mention my personality. Lack of sleep + trininista = homicidal creature. And with the time difference, well...forget it. I am glad that The King's Speech won everything they should have won. I cannot comment on Best Supporting Actress cause I have not seen Melissa Leo in The Fighter, but Helena Bonham-Carter, though a bit weird, is an excellent actress and I would have liked to have seen her win. But Christian Bale got his and I am happy for that.
But my first sexy - is this woman aging at all? My God. My personal hero, this one. Stunning. My Oscar winner.

Finally, lunch with the neighbours yesterday was truly impressive. True Caribbean hospitality. Everything was so incredibly good and by the time I left their place, I was stuffed. And though Arsenal losing the Carling Cup Final jeopardised my fishcakes, she still sent over apple pie and custard, and a slice of good Barbadian sponge cake. Wicked. I can say nothing ill about my wonderful neighbours here in London. That pie was uber sexy.

My pillow right now - super sexy. I am so tired. I am going to insulate myself under the covers and try to stave off frostbite, and get some sleep in the process so I can hopefully be academically productive later. This heater is taking its damn time to warm up my room though.
And while I may not miss out on sleep to watch a bunch of rich people collect awards, I will miss sleep to watch a bunch of Trinis fight it out for $2million on Friday night. 9.30pm start time in Trinidad, means 1.30am start time in London. God help me.
I also do not enjoy watching awards shows. Especially the oscars because it only contains movies I should see but haven't seen yet. Also that cake looks yummy :D
ReplyDeleteI got together with some girlfriends to make fun of the fashions before the awards started. Took a train home and was in bed by 11:30. I think that means I'm getting old (or I just don't care like I used to??)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for Natalie Portman but have yet to see King's Speech (must soon!) and The Fighter.
That Halle is just a vision and the dress looks gorgeous on her :)
I never miss the Oscars. But, luckily, they happen about 20 miles away from me, so it's not so late here.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a fun weekend! Stay warm!
