The name says it all....

The land of all things bright and shiny or close to bright and shiny or sometimes not so bright and shiny. I have a penchant for hot men, European actors, Boston sports teams, mens tennis, F1 racing, American and Brit tv, music, greek mythology & roman history--I'm bit of a geek about it actually, movies and exotic places (or maybe not so exotic as long as they're beautifu) I'd love to travel to. You'll find all of that here.

Congrats you three!!!!!!

GO COLIN!!!!  A NOMINATION SO GREATLY DESERVED AND HOPEFULLY A WIN AS EQUALLY DESERVED, HE WAS MAGNIFICENT (as always) IN IT, JUST MAGNIFICENT!!

Seriously they've really spoiled us with caps of this movie. 

I was so happy for him when he won the Golden Globe, now roll on BAFTA and OSCAR!!  GO COLIN!!!!

*and believe me, he may be in my comfort movie..oh Mr. Darcy!! but I wouldn't be saying all of it if it wasn't true, he is the best actor this year and that is the best performance, maybe of his career too.

GO AND SEE THIS MOVIE, IT'S GLORIOUS AND COLIN IS JUST..HE'S JUST FANTASTIC, IF HE DOESN'T WIN THE ACADEMY AWARD THERE IS TRULY NO JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD AND I'LL BE PISSED OFF, MUCHLY.

Colin Firth, The King's Speech

"And then she wouldn't feed me..far, far away..." (if you've seen the movie you know what that really means, and if you haven't RUN RUN to the theater and see it, it's heartbreaking and funny and sad and Colin Firth is magnificent as always but he's REALLY magnificent in this.

In their first home game since coming off a successful five-game road trip the Boston Bruins fell to the Minnesota Wild 3-1 last night in front of a sold out crowd of 17,565 in TD Garden.  Bruins starting goaltender Tuukka Rask (31 saves) made his third consecutive start, but despite playing well, fell to 3-8-1 on the season.  “You know I try to feel good about myself everyday and think positive, and you know, the past couple games have been solid,” Rask said after the loss.

Six Times Doctor Who Tried to Break Your Heart (And Probably Succeeded) | 06. Vincent and the Doctor

“We didn’t make a difference at all.” “I wouldn’t say that. The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things,but vice-versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”

this is the exact quote I wanted to open my new tumblr with because I love it so much and I love this episode, call me 'sap' but it still makes me cry.
