This year The Academy Awards were brutal. Nobody that participated in our ballot competition got even half right. The King's Speech and Inception both won 4 awards, The Social Network won 3 awards, and The Fighter, Alice in Wonderland, and Toy Story 3 all won 2. Very spread out year for awards!
So, I guess you're wondering who won?? Well, none of the previous winners did, that's for sure. :( Here are the results:
Bryan AND Kelsey are the WINNERS with 14 right answers. (I was going to say 14 right guesses, but that's kind of mean.)
Jake AND Justin had 12 right answers.
Jesse had 11 right answers.
Dad Laws and Michael had 10 right answers.
Amelia and Brent had 9 right answers.
Until next year! And, I would just like to say that, apparently, seeing the movies and knowing a lot about them doesn't do jack.

Academy Awards
Hey all you peeps, the Academy Awards are on the 27th of this month. Everybody needs to fill out a ballot and email to me or Jesse. This is the 4th annual Academy Award competition and this year is the most wide open awards race in recent memory so everybody has an equal shot. Jake, Jesse, and myself are looking to be the first two time winners of this here competition and Jake is looking to be the first back to back winner. Who will it be? Like I said, the race this year is wide open, so no matter how much movie knowledge you have or don't, you could very easily win. And everybody means you too Aundria (?), you aren't getting out of this. Everybody send us your picks and then watch the awards on ABC on Feb. 27th. Lets make this year awesome. I can't wait.

The Next Awesome Guster Video That You Will Like, Or Face The Consequences
This song is great, but I don't need to tell you that! Just Listen!
Durge Purge - Day 3
Ugh.
Okay, today started out great. I kept busy with my baby, laundry, and some much-needed cleaning. But, there's only so much of that you can do. TV has left a void. I miss me some TV. I've been close to compromising but, I've stayed true. (Even with Justin trying to lead me astray! Sorry, "Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest," you'll have to wait. I want to cry.)
No, this purge business is not all enlightenment and sunflowers. This afternoon/night I felt the darkness. I volunteered to go to the store for formula just to distract myself. And I don't normally do that. Some of you out there may be thinking I'm pretty pathetic. I can't do without TV for a couple days. Well, I challenge you to do the purge and see how you feel when you can't watch "The People's Court" everyday.
I'm cranky. And, I have too much time on my hands that I don't want to jam-pack with stuff. I don't want to "do" all day. But just sitting is weird, too. Have you all noticed how much more I've been blogging since this all started? Testify, blog posts! Testify: "Jesse is BORED!"

Am I Old?
Today I looked at the Rolling Stone list of the best 50 songs of 2010. It started at the bottom of the list and went up to the #1. As I went along, I was surprised at how many I didn't recognize...at all. I thought as I neared the top 10 maybe I'd start to see something familiar but, no. It was not to be.
As a teenager, I scoffed at my parents' lack of knowledge of current music. I thought, that will never be me! I love current music! Well, here is my formal apology to my parents: I'm sorry for thinking you were old and boring for not liking Linkin Park.
After reading the list, I went to youtube and listened to the top 5 songs. That makes a total of...hmm...5 songs on the list that I've ever heard in my life. And, let me tell you, I wasn't that impressed. (I was going to listen to the top 10, but 5 was more than enough) Does that make me an old lady? I've heard of 19 of the bands. That should count for something, right??
Am I crazy or is music going seriously downhill? Look at this list:
10. Kanye West - Monster
9. Broken Bells - The Ghost Inside
8. Janelle Monae - Tightrope
7. Vampire Weekend - Night Sky
6. Mavis Staples - You Are Not Alone
5. Arcade Fire - We Used to Wait
4. Katy Perry - Teenage Dream
3. Sade - Soldier of Love
2. Cee Lo Green - **** You
1. Kanye West - Runaway
We can't do any better than this? Granted, I've only heard of 4 of those people before today...and I've only listened to 5 of the songs. But, Kanye West is in the top 10 twice!? Seriously? Okay, yeah, I'm old.
