I love the Winter Olympics. I'm looking forward to watching them and pray that there is no terrorism

Ditto on the no terrorism!

My favorite event is the ice dancing. Ever since Torvill and Dean, I found that the grace and style appeal to me more than the big jumps of the pairs skating. I remember a couple of Olympics ago that one US (I think) pairs skating team were good and got great compliments on their footwork. They had a shot at medaling, but they tended to have problems on their jumps...actually, the landings of the jumps. I always wondered if they always had problems with the jumps and landings, why don't (or couldn't) they switch to ice dancing. No jumps...problem solved.

This year the US has great ice dancing teams. Did you happen to see them at Nationals

No...I don't usually pay attention until the Olympics. But I do enjoy seeing them when I come across them.

I love Cate Blanchett's dress.

Derek Hough choreographed one of the US ice dancers routines.

It is a shame that only 2 US men's figure skaters get to go to the Olympics. I get that you have to earn your spots at the World Championships. But it just doesn't seem right to me. The US has 4 skaters that could go. And yet they can only send two.

I enjoyed the long program today.

I just googled Julia Roberts dress from tonight
I agree,Cilla, it appears she had a strapless black dress and discovered it was showing too much so she put on a blouse underneath it

Tomorrow on the Syfy channel one of my favorite series of books is being made into a tv series. It's called Bitten.

We watched Breaking Bad the first couple of seasons but it went from a black comedy to a violent drama and we stopped watching it

If Downton Abbey won no awards, it must be because they didn't pander to these journalists - they probably didn't send out goodie bags or whatever. That's all the Golden Globes have ever been about.

I've written about three and a half pages. I do wish this queasiness would abate, but my memory tells me it won't for another day or so.

I'll probably take a hot shower in a bit, then definitely write another two or three pages. Then I have to get everything ready to announce at midnight. And I'll write the notes around ten so that those are ready.

One thing that I really don't like about The Golden Globes is that the supporting actor/actress categories are for TV series, mini-series or TV movie. They're all lumped together. I think that the TV series should be in their own category. I can see having the mini-series and TV movie actors/actresses together, but they should be separate from long-running TV series categories.

Just my 2¢.

"Frozen" won for best animated feature. I still want to see this.

George · « **Reply #195 on:** January 12, 2014, 09:41:29 PM »

And speaking of "Frozen," Amazon lists it, but says, "DVD Release Date: March 18, 2013." A few days ago, it said that it would be available in 1-3 months, and the discounted price was $22.99 for the Blu-ray (I forget what the full list price was). I was able to order it (and with my gift cards from Christmas, it was free), but now it says, "Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available."

I hope that when it's really released, I will still get it for free.

good night

Best actress is Kate Blanchett for "Blue Jasmine"...which I haven't seen.

George · « **Reply #198 on:** January 12, 2014, 10:17:03 PM »

Best actor is Matthew McConaughey in Dallas Buyers Club, which I also haven't seen.

George · « **Reply #199 on:** January 12, 2014, 10:19:28 PM »

Best motion picture drama: Twelve Years a Slave...haven't seen this one.

George · « **Reply #200 on:** January 12, 2014, 10:24:18 PM »

And best picture comedy or musical (announced earlier in the show, but it wasn't posted here): American Hustle...nope.

George · « **Reply #201 on:** January 12, 2014, 10:30:22 PM »

Guess I need to see some movies that have recently won some awards.

I had another lie down - not to sleep, but it seems better for the queasiness. I wish it was midnight already. I just don't trust the scheduling thing on the site.
