On With the Show

Tonight we watched the Golden Globes.  I don't watch these award shows as much as I used to, mostly because I don't know who most of these people are!  
But I had actually seen some of the movies nominated and I do love Tina Fey.  She and Amy Pohler were both great tonight.  Happy to see Argo win for best drama.  I agreed.  As far as the TV side, I did watch the first season of Homeland, but didn't have Showtime to watch the second.  So I went online and cancelled the sports package that Lynn liked to watch The Red Zone on (which is over for the season) and added Showtime so I could catch up.  
Also noticed an HBO show called Girls getting a lot of awards, so I did just go to on demand and watched the pilot of it.  I will watch a couple more episodes and see if it captures me.  Only a half an hour show, on premium channel so no commercials.  
Last night I watched Miss America.  I have watched this show for as long as I can remember.  Haven't watched it very closely for the last few years, but I actually watched the whole thing this time.  My goodness, these girls all look the same.  Some are shorter or taller, but their bodies all look alike.  Some different skin shades, but really they seem like a bunch of robots.  The talent portion is still more humorous than entertaining.  Who knew tap dancing was still such a favored thing.  And whoever it was that did some kind of dance, it was almost painful to watch her perform.  After shows like So You Think You Can Dance, to see someone flail around the stage, sort of to the music, is rather an embarrassment.  
This week I need to get to work prepping for the retreat next weekend!!

I've heard it said that there is a formula that the judges look for in beauty contests - and apparently from you comments, that seems to be true.

Have fun at your retreat!
