The Letter G

As I was preparing to write this post, I thought to myself, "Ok, gotta talk about Golden Globes over the weekend, Gossip Girl last night, my love for Golden Spoon and post some of those photos of Gordon."

Apparently, this post is dedicated to the letter G.

I love movies. I go to the movies at least once a week. I also love red carpet. And celebrity gossip. So you can imagine, when red carpet season comes along (January-February), I am one giddy girl. It all kicks off with the Golden Globe awards. I like to relate this to the Playoffs in football leading up to the Superbowl (i.e. The Academy Awards a.k.a. The Oscars). The Golden Globes aired Sunday night so Bear and I printed out ballots and placed our bets. At one point during the three-hour broadcast, I was up by two but then Slumdog Millionaire came and swept the final categories, bringing Brian up for a final score of 17 of 27 and I 16 of 27. So now I have to eat a steak and take him to a movie. I have never eaten a steak in my life. Oh and Cheesecake, which I'm not as worried about. I'm sure there will be a post dedicated just to my steak experience. BTW, if you have not yet seen Slumdog Millionaire, please go. After all, it did win Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Score.

What G was next?

Oh yes, Gossip Girl. Did you watch?? How that show was NOT nominated for a Golden Globe amazes me. Mad Men, psh. They don't have Chuck Bass.

Golden Spoon. Is delicious. I get on kicks and I picked up some last night to enjoy at Bears for our GG hour. Chocolate and vanilla with snickers topping. A girl couldn't be happier.

Oh yes, last but certainly not least...for those of you who have the iPhone, please download the app Toy Camera. Totally worth the buck ninety nine. I took some photos of my muse, Sir Gordon, to show you. Enjoy :)

OMFG

I heart Gossip Girl. I never thought that a show could top LOST but I think this one may have with these past two seasons. It's like a younger version of Sex and the City, with just as much sass and sex. The ads above should explain that.

Seriously, if you don't watch this show now...I suggest you make a point to in 2009. That's right, I'm actually suggesting you make it your New Year's resolution to start watching Gossip Girl.

Want a second opinion? Here, the brilliant minds over at New York Magazine agree with me and tagged it the Best. Show. Ever. Read this, now (please).

(special thanks to Chloe for helping me finally figure out the link issue!)

When you do start watching, make sure that the next day, you religiously go visit The Daily Intel over at NY Magazine. They do a reality vs. not-so-reality comparison that really is just plain genius.

I've got Bear hooked and it only took three episodes, even though he paused every 5 seconds to ask the background on the characters...but still, worth it to have him understand when I say "No, I can't go out tonight, there is a new GG episode on." Or him knowing that opening the OMFGG (Original Music Featured on Gossip Girl) as one of my Christmas gifts would make me squeal like the 15-year-old girls on the show.

Call it a guilty pleasure, call it a way of life...whatever you've got to do but give it at least two episodes...or rent the first season on DVD...and tell me you're not totally OMG hooked.
