Moving.

Hey guys!!! Sorry I haven't updated. But here is the plan, and if I do say myself, it is a pretty good one:

I am deleting this blog. Ok, stop freaking out. It's only being moved to another account and different page. I don't like this particular account, so that's why it's being moved. It will still be there, possibly under the same address if I can get it, maybe slightly different, but I will be sure to post it here. This little blog will still be here for the next two or three months, but I'll be updating on the other. As soon as the other is up and running, you guys will be the first to know!!!

Is your server down? Yeah, mine was too.

Why this title one may ask? I'll tell you. For the past, what, 2 or 3 months, I have tried and tried again and again to update this little blog. Unfortunately, my computer is being a butt. It won't let me on to Blogger! Or Pandora, Gmail, an Elf name generator (don't ask, please) and other such random sites. Finally, our network was fixed. It still didn't work. But then, we got a new family computer. Guess this is where I update now!

As for what has happened in between my last update and this one, let me touch up. The Saints won the Superbowl, which I couldn't be more happy about. My sister is a law student at Tulane in New Orleans, she said they got out of school. Speaking of her, she started a blog, which you can check out (An Escapist's Guide to the Movies). The short-course season ended in swimming, which you all probably care nothing about. And, my personal favorite: THE OSCARS!

So as for who won what, I won't post everything. Just the movies I want to talk about (These are not listed in order):

• Best Picture - The Hurt Locker
• Best Director - Kathryn Bigelow (For the Hurt Locker)
• Sound Mixing - Hurt Locker
• Sound Editing - The Hurt Locker
• Actress in a Leading Role - Sandra Bullock (For the Blind Side)
• Art Direction - Avatar
• Cinematography - Avatar
• Visual Effects - Avatar

I haven't seen the Hurt Locker, so I won't say anything negative, but I will say that I was hoping for Avatar to get at least best picture. However, it got 3 Oscars, so I was happy. I will admit, I wasn't expecting Sandra Bullock to get best actress. I thought it would go to Meryll Streep. I never thought I would see the day when Sandra Bullock got an Oscar but here it is.

So tell me your let downs, expectations, and hits, cause I'm interested!

P.S. I know that last line sounded corny. I couldn't help it.

Powdery White Stuff

Hi Everybody! Well, it is Friday, yes I realize that. Should I be in school? Well, everyone give a hand out there to something I call precipitation. You see, here in Knoxville, TN, if it snows more than a 1/2 inch, people freak out, they put salt on the roads (even if they aren't icy), and they cancel every school within a 100 mile radius. Ok, only 50 miles. Fine! Only EVERY school in the area. Of course, my school is always the last to cancel, but I still got out, so I'm not complaining.

So on the topic of winter, lets bring up all of those fun things to do! Well, you can always ski, that is, until you fall and your knees pop out of socket. Kidding. In fact, I enjoy skiing. But I wouldn't try snowboarding. Now that would kill me. But back on topic, there is always sledding, if you have a big enough hill.

But my favorite winter activity, is watching puppies in the snow! So check out this video, but you have to give it a moment to load. Then you can tell me about your favorite Puppy in the Snow!!!

• Puppy's first snow

So enjoy!
