No, not because I am heading back to Champaign today. Although I WILL be seeing my roommates, my apartment and Kam's (my favorite dive bar) for the first time in a whole month, I am also faced with the disturbing knowledge that at this time tomorrow I will be in CLASS. Somehow, I have managed to schedule a 9:30 am class my very last semester at Illinois. My first class before 10am since FIRST semester freshman year. Worrisome, indeed. More on that in the coming weeks (particularly since this professor has already assigned HOMEWORK. Ugh.).
Anywho. Why Christmas morning? It is the morning after the Golden Globes. I did not actually WATCH them last night, but I had three separate people texting me updates throughout the evening. (The texts I received were as varied as "I don't know anything about half the movies and shows that are up for awards" to "Sad. [Michael C. Hall] is wearing a scarf or something on his head. Chemo I'm assuming" to "Glee cast won best comedy series. Whole cast looking jubilant").
So, once I knew that Glee and Avatar had won (rightfully), and Michael C. Hall had won for Dexter (also rightfully, but even more poignant after the poor guy announced his current-cancer-treatment)...my most important order of business would naturally be to wake up this morning and check out the best- and worst- celebrity dressed lists. However...where to begin? People.com would have the most orderly set-up in which to simply VIEW dresses. But, Perez would have the best snarky comments about the celebrities I hated, and their unsuccessful attempts to be cutting edge, sexy or newsworthy. Eonline would come eventually, but last (I've only added them to my list of celebrity gossip sites in the last few months. They have to earn their way up from the bottom of my web-serfing totem pole).
If you are not enjoying your last day of Christmas break (or respecting Martin Luther King Jr.'s contribution to U.S. Civil Rights by cruising celebrity gossip sites) here is a condensed hit list of my favorite people and dresses:
Lea Michele (I'm obsessed with anything Glee, so I would love her in a paper bag, but she pulls off the over-the-top princess dress)
Sandra Bullock (Props for color selection)
Kate Winslet (Sexy and simply, and I just plain love her)
Vera Farmiga (Classic. Could her eyes be bluer?)
Marion Cotillard (Great color, great shoes. Lacey-what underneath though?)
Maggie Gyllenhaal: (Love the dress, but Maggie needs to be slightly less pale?)
And family controversy:
My first reaction was love, but my mom and sister disagree: Chloe Sevigny (not only do I give her points for simple DARING, but I as a Big Love fan, I also love that the dress (as, admittedly anything Chloe Sevigny wears) so totally contrasts with Nikki's character).
Enjoy! Happy MLK Monday!
