Printable: 2020 Oscar Ballot

It’s that time of year again! The time of year that if you live in Los Angeles, most of your small-talk is based around awards season. We’re talking about what we liked, what we didn’t like, how it’s possible that so-and-so did or didn’t like such-and-such. Basically, we can’t stop talking about movies. And all of this energy and gossip culminates on February 9th when a bunch of fancy (see: mostly out of touch) industry people get even fancier and hand out the fanciest of trophies to those they deem worthy.

8 Modern Halloween Cross Stitch Patterns

How is it already 3 weeks to Halloween? This fall is flying by for us. Not only are we currently in the process of buying our own home (aah! I’m a grown up!) but we also found a stray dog in Griffith Park this last weekend and we registered her for Los Angeles’ new “Shelter at Home” program – you know, because we decided moving wasn’t going to be enough of a life change! So it’s fair to say, I’ve completely missed out on the Halloween fun so far this year.
