Fore And After

The mind is numb, but the clockwork is not clogging. The first two weeks of the new year had been slow, but that is usually a norm in my case. I have tons of list needing attention right now and here I am not attending to any of them. Instead, I make predictions for tomorrow's Golden Globe (technically it's today).

TV categories are left out. Besides 'Mad Men' (a Best Drama for sure) and 'Modern Family' (which I am rooting for Best Comedy), I have not seen the rest. And no love for LOST? HFPA must be Crazy.

Update: 'Mad Men' lost and 'Boardwalk Empire' wins. Well of course. Who can beat Scorsese? 'Modern Family' lost too? Sad year.
