Watching the Golden Globes, it struck me how strange it must be to be in a profession that inspires so much intense emotion and, like, stuff. I mean, I just go on doing my job, month after month, and at no point has anyone invited me to get up onstage and cry and thank people because I couldn't have done it without them. Like, you know, thanks to my co-workers for being there to talk about trifle and parallel universes during the long, hard hours of extraneous exclamation mark removing. Thanks to my wonderful boss for being utterly clueless. Etc. I think it's a damn shame.

And the Lifetime Achievement Award goes to Janet for selling the same adverts every year for the last 25 years. You may now ramble on for half an hour while everyone takes the opportunity to go to the loo.

And is there an award for the Best Appropriation of Aphid Experts, I wonder???

Well, I certainly hope so! Best Adaptation, maybe?

Ooh, new icon!

Actors set up these special awards to indulge in their own hammy luvviness in shameless abandon. It's an absurd profession, and we're stuck with slashing them, god knows how that happened.

Now on to plumber slash and aphid experts.

Ah yes. Taken (badly) with new camera. This is my bird from New Zealand, which I was assured was a pukeko, but is completely the wrong colour to be one. But maybe it's artistic licence.

Awards in general are sooooo silly. Actors too, but I'm very fond of ours. I think of them like favourite pets. Except not...

But plumber slash!! Now that's the ticket!

What are these Golden Globes wot I dun missed (due to watching Secretary in answer to your reccing! I liked it!) and where can I find their screencaps?

They're the awards that tell the Academy people who to give Oscars to. I see you found Dom & Tom, but

undone27 has some more here.

Glad you liked Secretary! I'm enjoying Bel Canto very much!

If I were bitter, I would complain about how people who already get an insane amount of money for doing fun things also get shiny statues and the opportunity to wear fantastic clothes in front of half of the world's population which has access to television. I'm not bitter though, and just find it a bit silly.

hey there, ia_ne!!!

hey!111! You should make a post about how you don't think that the LOTR actors deserve Oscar noms so I can reply to that and agree. I'm too chicken to do that in my own journal! Sad...

I like you're icon, where is it from?

Goodness, I don't think you're allowed to say that, are you? *faints in coils*

I thought nobody would no one would notice if I said it in another journal *g*

'Deserve' is probably not the best word. I obviously like (at least some of) the LOTR actors, but that doesn't automatically mean that I think they should get an Oscar.

And actually I don't even care about this in one way or another, but somehow being here on lj makes me have an opinion! How inconvenient...

I pretty much know what you mean. I just can't really bring myself to care very much whether anyone (even people whose work, personality or looks I like, or of whom I've become inappropriately protective due to gay porn) is nominated for, or wins, an Academy Award. Blimey, long sentence.

I'm bitter and I'm going to complain! Who should I complain to?

[link] [parent] [reply]

Good question! Berlusconi maybe?

Btw, I like your icon, too! The colours are really nice.

Thanks! :)

If you were plied with champers and liquor from the moment you get into work in the morning, you'd probably be a little weepy after a few hours too...

Hmm that's true. Maybe I'll try plying myself with those things tomorrow.

well said Magic! Hear! Hear! Toilet paper! Toilet Paper! Toilet Paper in our time!
(*Poule hands Magic a globe artichoke*)

i wouldn't mind being licked, if Colin Firth was involved...

Nice work if you can get it...

at one of my jollier places of work, we *do* have an awards ceremony every year - totally ridiculous awards, but with speeches and flouncing and getting dressed up and everything. and little statues!!!

n.x :)

Everybody needs to flounce sometimes.........

[link] [parent] [reply]

How true! (I knew that was you, by the way). :)

That's not fair!! I want my award!!!

Not a very enthusiastic visitor of cemeteries I can tell you award cemeteries aren't the only place where people get rather silly.
In Holland tombstones sometimes hold peoples former jobs on them. I'm glad they did that cos visits to cemeteries are normally sad occasions for me. I only saw lawyers and architects and doctors on the tombstones but also one writer so there is hope for the lot of you. That is if eternal glory is what you seek out after life. Wouldn't it be great if peoples jobs or hobbies were always on the tombstones: stamp collector, dry cleaning machine operator the more pathetic the job, the sillier the hobby the more fun it will be in comparison with the Layer and Doctor tombstones.

Hello Tonde. How nice to encounter you round these parts again.

I do hope I don't have my job inscribed on my tombstone. It's bad enough being saddled with it in life, let alone being associated with [insert name of cheap farming rag here] throughout all eternity!

Although I suppose if the hobbies were included as well, it would add up to a more rounded picture of the deceased. Oh hell, why not -- let's go mad and put the whole damn obituary on there!
