Snowy days in Woodstock and shiny trophies at the PCA

Like everyone else, I was hoping for a snow day today. But what can you do? School is school... Although, sleeping in would've been nice, haha.

Anyway, as far as school goes, things have only just gotten underway. The real work should start next week. I'm looking forward to it, because I know this term promises to be fun (and quick!).

Now, as for actual news...

Well, make that entertainment news. The 2009 People's Choice Awards were on last night. Did I watch them? No. Why? Because I didn't feel like it. Awards shows can only hold my attention for so long, and I really have to be in the right mindset to even THINK about watching them.

But from what I've read, this year's ceremony was a slight improvement over last year's boring, pre-taped strike show. Most of the winners didn't surprise me much. You had Hugh Laurie winning for best drama ("House")  and male TV star. That felt like a no brainer. "The Simpsons" won best animated comedy, "Heroes" for sci-fi/fantasy show and "The Dark Knight" took home FIVE trophies. Again, all of those felt like no brainers to me. On the music side, you had Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood and Kid Rock, to name a few. Not too much surprise there, since all three had hit songs in '08.

One award did catch me by surprise, though, and that was the award for fave online sensation. It appears to be a new category this year, and after looking through the list of nominees, I'm even more relieved that "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" was the winner. Proof that the people have good taste!

Well, that's all the news I've got for now. I'll be doing a mix of whatever news I feel like commenting on. Until then!
