The Oscars

I think this is the first Academy Awards where I have not seen any film nominated for a major award. My daughter has not even seen Brave. After looking through all the categories I realized that the only film I had seen was Mirror Mirror. It was an okay film, but I didn't want to put the trailer up on the blog for some reason. I feel somewhat pathetic that is the only film I have seen. Interestingly, a song from the film Chasing Ice is nominated and my professor from undergrad is one of the producers of the film! So let's all cheer for it.

In all honesty, I am not really that interested in seeing the majority of the films nominated. Nothing really screamed out to me that I should go see it. So that is my excuse. Of course I will watch all of the award show and if we weren't in the middle of the move I might even have had some people over. Oh well. Hopefully next year.

The Lumineers

Have you seen this lovely new video from The Lumineers? I was teary eyed through the whole thing! So beautiful. For all Denver viewers take note the view count seems to be stuck on 303 (even thought it has 600+ likes, hmmmm). I am hoping they win an award this weekend at the Grammy's. Cross your fingers.

It's Snowing

I had no idea it was going to snow today. Maybe I need to watch the weather more often. My daughter and I went to the gardens today and at 1:00 it was a sunny 58 degrees; though it was windy. I sat outside while my daughter ran around and she only had a hoody and I had a scarf, but no coat.

When we got home the sky started to grey and then the snow started around 3:00 or so. Unexpected snow is one of the greatest things in the world especially when you are already safe at home.
