I went to see Juno last week and….. WOW….. what an awesome movie. I totally LOVED it.  Made me laugh, cry and come over all warm and fuzzy. Ellen Page was simply amazing, I really wanted her to win the Oscar.

Talking of Oscars  (I bet you’re impressed by that seamless link)  it was on in the afternoon over here and I managed to catch the good bits. And didn’t Katherine Heigl look gorgeous? I love her work. Especially in Greys.

Talking of Greys (I bet….. ok, not funny the second time) this season rocks. I think it’s my favorite program  (and that’s saying something)…. with Dirty Sexy Money coming a close second. I’m not counting Idol because…. well, because I’ m not.

My writing is fun at the moment. I’m just doing a last run through of my Tween/Middle grade book before shipping it off to my agent, and have a YA proposal I’m working on.

It’s crazy busy time at the moment in the motel…. lots of weddings, events, tourists and our regular corporate clientele.   It’s a good job I don’t need long uninterrupted hours to get my writing done, or I’d be screwed!

   I loved Juno, too, and was rooting for her. I thought the movie was very clever (in writing) . . . . and each cast member was cast perfectly. And I thought it was much more emotional than it seemed at first blush.

   I totally agree, Erica. I was pleasantly surprised at its depth.

   I like Dirty Sexy Money, too… Sadly I fully expect it will be canceled. I hope not. I think it’s a show that might have done better on a US cable network than one of the big broadcast ones. It might have been a bit better if they could have pushed the envelope a tad further… Not that the priest character, in particular, isn’t pushing some boundaries. Love that character. And Donald Sutherland (my fellow Canadian) can do no wrong in my books.

   I LOVE the priest character too….. so funny… and totally against type! Everyone I know who watches it loves him. And yes DS is great. I hope they don’t cancel it.

   Haven’t seen Juno, didn’t see the Oscars, haven’t seen Grey’s…see a pattern here?
   But the writing is going good here too. Having a little hotel sounds fun–from afar. Faced with the work, I might not be so excited about it.

   That’s it. I am officially the last person in the world to see Juno. At this point I have to wait for the video, since it’s long gone from our theater.

   Caryn that often happens to me…. I keep meaning and meaning to go to a movie then miss it. Enchanted is one I’m still waiting to see…
