So, here we are. The first post of the New Year and it gets to be about an awards show. (I'm already behind on my blogging for the year.) I have several movie reviews and other commentary on award nominations to post, but first let's talk about the Golden Globes! The start to awards season …

Back in the US
Well, my plan to continually update while in the Czech Republic failed rather miserably.
