This is so sad I really can’t find the right words. Apparently, Heath Ledger died this afternoon. He was a fantastic actor and I was always looking forward to seeing him in a project - he seemed like a great person.
Not literally…. but I’m super excited - even though we don’t get any picture/video galore - that Marion won Best Actress at the Golden Globes!!!!
None of my other favourites won anything - but I’m only really sad that Ruth Wilson lost to Queen Latifah. But then, I haven’t seen her performance - it really might be better, who knows? I remain in love with Jane Eyre and Ruth’s performance especially!
Julie Christie won - thank goodness she was in another category than Marion lol - and I really should watch Away From Her. It is sitting right next to me here on the desk… But with me being super busy sites-wise I seem to not be able to watch any movies unless I’m at a friend’s place.
I’m sure Ellen Page is fabulous in Juno. Even though I have not seen much of her work - it is simply not easily available here - I have always had a soft spot for her. Not least because she’s almost as small as I am hehe. But when it comes down to Ellen or Marion I’ll chose Marion. I wish the two weren’t eligible to be nominated in the same year - or in the same category 
Bring the Oscars on - and I really want to see some glamour this time around! Surely, having actors etc appear on stage - and on TVs the world over - and mentioning the writers’ agenda in their acceptance speeches wouldn’t hurt the strike?!?!
I decided to transfer a complete archive of 310 entries in Cutenews to WordPress. While I knew it’d be tiresome it is absolutely time-consuming, nerve-racking, frustrating, depressing…
I watched the time. Whether I felt I was moving along quickly or the work seemed to drag it always took me about 1 hour to post one page of Cutnews entries (21 items) inWordPress. I believe it’s the checking of links to gallery items and press archive etc that is the most timeconsuming. So far, I’ve managed to finish 157 posts - which means I’ve been at this mind-numbing task for about 7,5 hours. Unless I somehow miraculously become faster at this it will take me another good 7 hours…. *screaming*
If only I were done after that…. I see that my deadline for tomorrow evening is once again impossible to keep. I somehow keep setting myself unreachable goals - no wonder I have a serious lack of sleep and am rather depressed. But I’m sure it’s just a temporary thing…
I need to call someone important tonight - I mustn’t forget. Why o why does there have to be such huge differences in time zones? It makes for very small time windows if you want to call someone…
New ways? I don’t know… I don’t want to announce any big plans for improvement. November 2007 actually was my month of resolutions. I think I’ll just carry on trying to maintain a regular and healthy sleeping and eating habit. Also, I do want to cut down on my internet time. There were some weeks in recent months where I was really good at staying away from the computer - that’s the way to go hehe
Personal life in 2007 has again - what else is new? - been blah. But I’m happy with how things are. So, that’s really good. Site wise I really am still happy with the major re-launch of the Marion site, as well as how the take over of the Catalina site worked out. I will definitely be keeping the site. Right now, I’m doing something special for the Sophia site. I think the site deserves it. I hope I will be able to work on my secret site plan (in the works since summer 07) and the extension of the Emily Mortimer tribute. That’s all the sites I’m going to do - ever! I will not get involved in something new!
I’ve updated the 100 Films list for the new year (see 2007 list) and I was quite surprised how well I liked Becoming Jane on my first re-watch yesterday.
