After doing some research (browsing the latest EW issue), I have revised my picks for this years Academy Award Winners. Well, just Best Actress in a Leading Role. Anne Hathaway, I believe, does not have enough history to win at this stage in her career. Because I totally know what I am talking about hah. Good thing I don't have money on this.
Best Actress:
Anne Hathaway-Rachel Getting Married
Angelina Jolie-Changeling
Melissa Leo-Frozen River
Meryl Streep-Doubt
Kate Winslet-The Reader
It could be anyone.
The Academy Awards air February 22nd 5:00 pst.

So Sweet!!!
By the way I am going to watch Inkheart soon and add my remarks. And the SAGs. School is time consuming. :P
Found this while I was surfing the web-
Several of us use Google through out the day for simple stuff, but we've never quite grasped the power of this tool. So, I am copy/pasting some tips from an article that David Pogue published in NY Times. (Pogue is a column writer for NY Times' weekly Circuits e-magazine.) Enjoy!
================================
• Download and install the Google toolbar. Not only does it put the Google search box into your browser full-time, but it also blocks pop-up ads and fills in forms for you. For Windows at http://toolbar.google.com. (Ad blocking, form-filling and Google's search box are already built into the Apple's Web browser, Safari.)
• Phrase your question in the form of an answer. So instead of typing, "What is the average rainfall in the Amazon basin?", you might get better results by typing "The average rainfall in the Amazon basin is."
• This is an old one, but very important: Put quotes around phrases that must be searched together. If you put quotes around "electric curtains," Google won't waste your time finding one set of Web pages containing the word "electric" and another set containing the word "curtains."
• Similarly, put a hyphen right before any word you want screened out. If you're looking up dolphins, for example, you'll have to wade through a million Miami Dolphins pages unless you search for "dolphins -Miami."
• Google is a global White Pages and Yellow Pages. Search for "phonebook:home depot norwalk, ct," Google instantly produces the address and phone number of the Norwalk Home Depot. This works with names ("phonebook:robert jones las vegas, NV") as well as businesses.
Don't put any space after "phonebook." And in all of the following examples, don't type the quotes I'm showing you here.
• Google is a package tracker. Type a FedEx or UPS package number (just the digits); when you click Search, Google offers a link to its tracking information.
• Google is a calculator. Type in an equation ("32+2345*3-234=").
• Google is a units-of-measurement converter. Type "teaspoons in a gallon," for example, or "centimeters in a foot."
• Google is a stock ticker. Type in AAPL or MSFT, for example, to see a link to the current Apple or Microsoft stock price, graphs, financial news and so on.
• Google is an atlas. Type in an area code, like 212, to see a Mapquest map of the area.
• Google is Wal-Mart's computer. Type in a UPC bar code number, such as "036000250015," to see the description of the product you've just "scanned in." (Thanks to the Google Blog, http://google.blogspace.com, for this tip and the next couple.)
• Google is an aviation buff. Type in a flight number like "United 22" for a link to a map of that flight's progress in the air. Or type in the tail number you see on an airplane for the full registration form for that plane.
• Google is the Department of Motor Vehicles. Type in a VIN (vehicle identification number, which is etched onto a plate, usually on the door frame, of every car), like "JH4NA1157MT001832," to find out the car's year, make and model.
• For hours of rainy-day entertainment, visit http://labs.google.com. Here, you'll find links to new, half-finished Google experiments-like Google Voice, in which you call (650) 623-6706, speak the words you want to search for and then open your browser to view the results. Disclaimer: It wasn't working when I tried it. (Ditto a lot of these experiments.)
• Poke around the "Services & Tools" link on the Google.com home page and you'll find some of the better-known lesser-known Google features, if that makes any sense.
For example, there's Froogle (product search), News, Groups (Internet discussion boards), Google Catalogs (hundreds of scanned-in product catalogs), Images (find graphics and photos from other people's Web sites), Blogger (publish your own online journal), Google language translation, Google Answers (pay a couple of bucks to have a professional researcher find the answers for you) and much more.

The 81st Academy Awards airs February 22nd.
If you have read every Twilight book published and don't know what to do next, hope is not lost. Just in case you missed it there are a ton of Twilight goodies on the authors website stepheniemeyer.com. This includes content that was lost in the editing process and extra chapters Stephenie wrote after the books were released. She graciously added what she had written for Midnight Sun before putting up the pen. If you don't know what I'm talking about click on the link, it explains.
Warning: Be sure you have a free afternoon before clicking on these links. The amount of reading involved may cause a few hours of your time to disappear.
I feel this trailer better suits the book. Oh, and it doesn't come out till January 23rd. I found that out.
I love the book. I just bought the third and devoured it. I'm not impressed with what I have seen of the movie so far. At all. It's really hard not to pick this trailer apart.. no. rip apart. If they change Dustfinger.... *take a deep breath* Paul Bettany is good. I will keep an open mind until I see it.
Until I see it.

Your Spiritual Number is Nine |
 You bring satisfaction and competence into people's lives. You are very influential... sometimes more of an influence than you even realize. Right now, your life is all about reflection and completion. You have ended a long journey, and you are taking the time to figure out what it all meant. You are an easy going, charming, and charismatic person. Whether you want to or not, you have a lot of devoted followers. |
"Get Out!" = My initial reaction after seeing this trailer.
