Academy Awards fashions, rated

Alyssa: And we begin with Emma Stone, who did a great job in Birdman, but not such a great job with this dress.  It's like she's the human embodiment of a 1970's green kitchen.
Chris: I don't know, man, Emma Stone is really hot, but she looks really frumpy in that dress.  DISLIKE.

Alyssa: Scar-Jo's dress is fine, but I'm pretty sure her necklace is actually an alien that is controlling her facial movements.
Chris: Maybe it's some sort of relic that will be in the new Indiana Jones movie.


Alyssa: J-Lo wins it for the "ponytail with ballgown" look.  Ahh-mazing.
Chris: Yeah, her rack looked great too.


Alyssa: Nicole Kidman is wearing light green fish scales with a red Christmas ribbon while she carries a train case.
Chris: She brought a train case?  Can we play trains?  Is that what she does during commercial breaks--plays trains with Keith Urban?


Alyssa: Anna Faris was adorable when she and Chris Pratt talked about how they have a toddler at home and they're not going back home for a week because they'll be drinking.  You know that purse is filled with vodka miniatures.
Chris: I just want to see the new Jurassic Park movie.  Chris Pratt trained raptors.  It looks amazing.


Alyssa: Gwyneth Paltrow, you need to consciously uncouple with this dress.
Chris: I dislike Pepper Potts' choice of wardrobe.


Alyssa: Hey Chris Pratt.  Heeeeeeey.
Chris: Trained. Mother effing. Raptors.


Alyssa: Reese Witherspoon wants us to ask women less about their dresses, and more about their work.  I admire you for that, Reese.  Even if I don't like your dress.
Chris: It's kind of a boring dress.


Alyssa: Sophie Hunter looks glam even though I'm pretty sure she put her look together from things she found in her garage, from her nuts & bolts earrings, to the nails holding the sides of her dress together.
Chris: When is the next season of Sherlock coming out?  I can't work with this picture.


Alyssa: Chloe Grace Moretz, I think these sheets were on the guest bed in my grandma's house growing up.  Did you steal my grandma's sheets?  Did you?
Chris: Where is Anna Kendrick?  I liked her dress.


Alyssa: Galadriel (aka Cate Blanchett) knows how to work the statement necklace.  Work it, girl!


Alyssa: Julianne Moore, why not wear ugly rosettes that make your figure ill-defined in a color that makes you look washed out?


Alyssa: JK Simmons and his wife look like they're going to a Texas prom in the 1980s.  Adorable.
Chris: Good job, J. Jonah Jameson.
Alyssa: Huh?  Who was that?
Chris: He was in Spiderman.
Alyssa: Spiderman sucks.
Chris: You're wrong.
Alyssa: ANYWAY.


Alyssa: I need to understand what type of underwear Chrissy Teigen is wearing.  Because I was very concerned about her while she was giving interviews.
Chris: I think everyone saw what type of underwear she was wearing!


Alyssa: Lupito Nyong'o takes it in this custom dress with 6,000 pearls.  She looks amazing.  Also, her shoulders are gonna hurt tomorrow.
Chris: How many oysters do you think they had to shuck to get 6,000 pearls?


Alyssa: Someone always has to wear a dress that looks like it is half finished.  This year it's Naomi Watts in this ugly number, including a sparkly tube top thing?


Alyssa: No, David Oyelowo.  Just no.
Chris: Disagree.  He looks awesome in that suit.


Alyssa: Did Nissa Kashani pay for someone to do this to her hair?  Because this is how I do mine when I'm sick.
Chris: Who is that?
Alyssa: I don't know.
Chris: Stop picking people who I don't know who they are.


Alyssa: Marion Cotillard, honey, I think they sent you this dress in the wrong size.
Chris: She was a terrible Talia al Ghul.


Alyssa: Laura Dern looks hot, and I'm pretty sure her dress could hurt me.
Chris: That's probably better bondage than the entire 50 Shades of Grey movie.


Alyssa: Dakota Johnson's dress is being held up by a very shiny rope.
Chris: I'm sure there's a bondage joke in their somewhere, but I used it up on the last picture.


Alyssa: Woah, Ethan Hawke's wife, why do you look like you're going to kill me with your eyes?!
Chris: Holy shit she looks pissed off!


Alyssa: will.i.am escaped from Train Conductor jail!
Chris: Why is will.i.am at the Oscars!?  Who invited him to the Oscars?  Ugh!


Alyssa: Anna Kendrick looks amazing.
Chris: Super hot.  Kate Hudson of the Oscars.  Give her all the Oscars!



Alyssa: Solange Knowles is hiding a whole elevator under her dress.
Chris: Who is that?
Alyssa: Beyonce's sister.  Remember, she beat up Jay-Z in an elevator?
Chris: So if you beat up someone in an elevator, you get to come to the Oscars?


Alyssa: Shannon Lamir clearly got drunk and lost a bet, and he had to wear this.
Chris: His suit looks very fuzzy.  I think it would be soft if you petted him.


Alyssa: Lady Gaga is wearing industrial gloves so she won't hurt her nails while she finishes sewing the sleeves on her dress.
Chris: I'm tired of Lady Gaga looking weird just to look weird.
Alyssa: She just got engaged.
Chris: Have you ever seen pictures of here when she just looks like a normal person?  She's actually pretty attractive.


Alyssa: Keira Knightly attempts to be some sort of woodland fairy (with writing) in this dress.
Chris: (makes angry noises)


Alyssa: Blanco Blanca skinned the devil and wore him.
Chris: Blanco Blanca?  Where do you FIND these people?!


Alyssa: I'm in love with this dress America Ferrera is wearing.  Steal it for me, baby!
Chris: I don't know, I don't really like it.  Is she wearing a handcuff belt?
Alyssa: What? (sigh.)
Chris: Don't sigh at me!


Alyssa: Even Louise Roe seems to be irritated by the dress she's wearing.
Chris: Who is that?
Alyssa: Does it matter?
Chris: It's more fun with people that I know!
Alyssa: You don't know half the people.
Chris: Then your list is going to have to get smaller.


Alyssa: Tracey Edmonds is wearing armor on top and a little black dress on the bottom.
Chris: Who is this?
Alyssa: Oh my God, this is the last one, can you just say something?
Chris: That's the last one?  THAT'S the last one?  That's what you're gonna wrap it up on?  That's terrible.


Alyssa: Fine.  Then I'm ending it with a shirtless picture of Chris Hemsworth.  Thanks for reading, everyone!

Freezer Meal #2 - Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples

This is the second part of my foray in to freezer meals - the first part can be found here  for Cheesy Shells and Italian Sausage. Today we're making a pork and apples recipe adapted from The Pampered Chef.  I love this one--it's so easy to assemble in advance, most of the ingredients you likely already have, and it couldn't be easier to fix the day you want to eat it (dump stuff in pan, bake). So yummy.  And pretty. Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples For this you'll need the ingredients below.  You probably have the oil, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, mustard, and bags in your pantry!  You can also easily divide this recipe if you usually only cook for 2-3 people at a time (that's what I do when I make it). 2 pork tenderloins , about 2 pounds total - they can be expensive, so pick these up on sale 3 apples - I prefer honeycrisp but use what you like, or take one of these suggestions 1 small red onion 1/4 cup canola oil 1 clove garlic , pressed o

New Year, Old Me

And, after a brief 5 year hiatus, we're back! For those of you who are new here, for a number of years I wrote a blog featuring an assortment of things I found interesting: the British Royal Family, sarcastic hot takes on award show fashion, travel, and (the reason I started it) to help me keep stay on track with eating healthier food. Recently, one of my doctors suggested that I start the blog back up and I thought it was a good idea for a few reasons: chief among them to help with some health goals, plus I'd like to use it as a way to stay connected with some colleagues that departed at work. By way of an understatement, 2023 was a smidge rough.   My dad got really sick in April, and after that, it was a slalom of the American healthcare system / in-home healthcare / nursing facilities / ambiguous loss & living grief .  Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the company I work for turned 24 and, well, sometimes 24 year old companies behave like 24 year old humans.  They're fun

Kate Middleton, Goofball

My new favorite K-Middy gif came out today.  She and William went for a walk during their day off in Australia, and she totally did this: Big Willy and Babykins (their nicknames for each other) have talked about Kate's sense of humor before in interviews.  Apparently she's funny and sarcastic--now we're more than just hair soul mates!  Below are some of my favorite non-posed Kate pics. They're probably watching horses.  So British of them. This is at the Olympics.  She seems concerned. I'd also like to point out that I'm jealous of how good her ponytail looks. It sounds like she's saying "OMG no way!" Man, I hope that's what she's talking about with the fancy church people at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee service. Again, I suspect ponies are involved here. If you watch interviews with her (and I do) she makes this face all the time.  I LOVE IT. Celebrities: they're just like us!  They hide behind their
