The Jets win and Avatar wins a Golden Globe? WTF!?! On top of that it's rainy as shit and I don't get MLK day off. All in all I'd say this is a craptastic start to the week. On the up side however the Saints and Indy both won and let's face it those are the two teams that really deserve to be in the Superbowl anyway. Can you imagine a Jets/ Vikings Superbowl? Would anyone watch? I think not.
Another Tally in the win column comes from Robert Downey Jr. winning best Actor in a comedy. I don't know though, that was kind of a back handed compliment, I mean was Sherlock Holmes a comedy? That's probably why Guy Ritchie didn't show up to the ceremony. The GLW and I did a little Golden Globe pool last night (As recompense for me monopolizing the TV with the Playoffs all weekend) and boy did she kick my ass. Seriously she picked practically every winner. I'm talking "best female understudy in a cinema verite special" boom she'd have it. At first I was taking it as a point of pride, chiding her for reading to much US weekly while I read other fare like, I don't know, books or something. After a while though it got kind of grating, nobody likes to be shut out right? I don't care what the competition is. Then came my saving graces, Mr. Downey and Das weisse bande (the German winner of best foreign film).
As Sherlock Holmes was one of my favorite films of 09 and Das Weisse Bande is in a foreign language, and thus obviously more intellectual, I immediately declared a moral victory and retired to the game room to play Call of Duty 2. You can't say I'm not gracious in my triumphs.

p.s. On a more exciting note my good friend DoJ will be contributing a few tales of his recent drunken exploits in the big city. Wait with bated breath.
