20 Minutes In, And It's Excruciating

I'm watching the Emmy's. OMG, it's only just started but train wreck so far. The red carpet frock thing, so many awkward moments. Lisa Rinner (who?) talking about her boob sweat, and a frail looking Cloris Leachman talking about peeing herself during rehearsals for Dancing With The Stars. Awkward. (I hear her partner wants to do a switcheroo now, maybe for Lance Bass.)

Oprah is introducing the show and she's fuller figured again! (All the Oprah shows we get here are old.) The opening number with the 5 'reality' show hosts was rambling and not the least bit entertaining. But big loves to The Shatner and Jeremy Piven for calling them on it. OMG, Seacrest is talking and I just almost shut down completely... I think I need to see what's on the other channels...

[Updated: Ok, Steve Carrell and Ricky Gervais were funny. Thank you Baby Jebus.]

[More Updated: Yay, Betty White! However, OMG Mary Tyler Moore is a legend/genius etc but she has passed the age where she can do sleeveless. I mean no disrespect but the upper arms are kind of scary and she has other options, you know.]

I just got home and switched it on in the vain hope of catching a glimpse of Jon Stewart because I'm secretly (well not so secret any more) in love with him. No luck so far!

You just got a nanosecond of him... NOT winning something.

Get out now!

It's horrible.

Have you gotten to the Josh Groban medley yet? Oh dear.

I had it on, but also read magazines and learned Chinese (to be truthful, I'm stuck on the first eight vocabulary words...you were supposed to tell me when I went senile!).

Thankfully I have the laptop and my sweet precious broadband connection with me on the sofa, to take some of the pain away. That and channel surfing.

PS. WHAT was Eva Longoria wearing? Big chest bow? Tassels? Too shorty short? Heidi says "Aufwiedersehen!"

Chinese?...

LOVE the new banner.

It's Emmys time? The things you (don't) miss by not watching telly.

The Other Andrew said...

Michael, danke schatz.

Mel, right now you are not missing anything much...

I agree completely--the opening was a disaster but i persevered because I was waiting for Jon Stewart (because I too love him not so secretly) and they didn't show either of his parts!! (He and Colbert presented an award and Daily Show won its category.) And I wanted to watch Laura Linney thank community organizers and they didn't show that either. Grumble grumble...

I guess on the plus side, they didn't subject us to Josh Groban.

(PS. Love the new banner!)

Thank you! You saved me, like, three hours there.
