its a good question.

i ask myself that all the time. 

lets talk about the oscars

first of all, i'd like to tell you exactly how much i love the oscars.

i have watched them every year since childhood, when i would feel so lucky that my mom let me stay up late on a school night to finish. and as a movie fanatic that not only watches the big beautiful works of art,but enjoys seeing even the smaller less credited films to evenly balance my sense of movie artistry, this is the moment i wait for all year. the sacred handful of hours devoted to the appreciation of the wonderful world of film.

my highlights included, 

-the phenomenal and probably once in a lifetime live les miserables cast performance on the oscars stage. I mean, if it couldn't win anything, at least they gave a solid stellar performance that nobody will probably forget. 

-speaking of performances, i was quite happy with daniel radcliffe and joe go's dance at the beginning of the oscars. while i completely loathed the host, these two made it a bit more bearable with their presence.
-as for the awards, i was loving that adele is so awesome, she not only has a ton of grammy's, but now an oscar. win. i was also thoroughly pleased that anne hathaway won and gave a beautiful acceptance speech.  but most importantly, let's all just give jennifer lawrence a big round of applause for that oscar! you may not think that someone who loves anne hathaway (who once hated her) could also love jennifer lawrence, but i like to think i don't judge too harshly.  and that jen-she is herself through and through and thats probably why some people hate her, but to that i say, 'go jen. you're the greatest.'
the end.

back to the swing

this is the face of a girl that does not want to go to school tomorrow. 

not one little bit. 

after having spent the entirety of last week and the weekend before that

playing mom to my little brothers while the parents were away gave me a nice long time to relax

(don't worry i did all of my work before i left).

and now that the oscars are over (which you can gladly bet i will talk about later),

and i have organized the closet, and washed my face, 

i guess i don't have any more excuses to put of doing one small homework assignment.

bummer.

and that all over the world there are pieces of me

and if i go back to those places i remember that part of me at the certain time. 

my name is elsa, and i'm a tv junkie

Yes, its true. In case you couldn't tell already, I'm a rather large TV watcher, and i have spent a majority of the last few days soaking up all of that great goodness of my favorite story lines and shows. i've realized its an acquired skill set to be able to watch, balance, and keep up with so many programs and still remain completely interested in all of them equally.  and while i might be embarrassed to mention how many i actually do watch, i'd like to think that i have a well rounded taste in shows that has nothing to do with lazy viewings of cartoonized sitcoms, but more of fulfilling story lines, with the occasional tasteful humor and a perfect blend of just one reality program just to bring me back to reality and real life (i mean, a girl's gotta watch the bachelor, right?).  Maybe I'm seen as more of an obsessive couch junkie for never having stopped watching and only adding more to the mix, but I'd like to announce that I like my shows and if you ever want to have a conversation about why the third season of Downton Abbey was so incredibly depressing yet amazing or why I still continue to watch old Smallville episodes, you can gladly come talk to me.
