notes from the emmys

I like to think of myself as a war correspondent on the frontlines in these situations:

so here they are, the unabridged stream-of-consciousness


- NEIL PATRICK HARRIS - song and dance man
- montages - sitcoms from "30 Rock" to "Family Guy" to "Desperate Housewives"
- sweeping changes

"good evening and thank you for looking at us"- Hamm
Mad Men's Don Draper
30 Rock
- supporting actress in a comedy
Pushing Daisies- short-lived sweetness
Jane Krakowski, the crazy self-obsessed shitshow
SNL gets propppppps
celebrating their quirkiness
Ugly Betty's
Vanessa Williams looking characteristically bitchy

as multi-talented as the host
teary-eyed and squeaky
BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR (some random Englishwoman?)

scenes from Gossip Girl, American Idol and True Blood
viewers were invited to keep voting through the performance
an interesting new take
61st primetime Emmy awards
OUTSTANDING WRITING - 30 ROCK
a parade of writers
FLIGHT OF THE CONCORDS

MATT HUBBARD - 30 ROCK: REUNION

wife, family, friends
it was the mantra of the evening
running mascara
looking pretty dapper in a James Bond way (Neil Patrick Harris)
why are YOU TV’s fan?

Barbie Ross - who seemed awkward and uncomfortable with the spotlight and witticisms dripping
pouring like the wine behind the scenes
from Patrick Harris’ mouth
"the only person funnier than the next presenter is the woman presenting with her"
Amy Poehler and Julia Lewis Dreyfuss

"I feel like I’ve been watching youtube all night," said passerby.
TRUE BLOOD TRUE BLOOD
and for some Sarah McLachlan was there, singing one of her hits
seriously, how much can you beat a ead horse
but then we realized it was simply because people had died this year
because people die every year
but it was good being it highlighted a lot of less-er-knowns as well as people we all knew and loved
like Karl Newton
Henry Gibson
sarah mclachlan made all our hearts weaken
and her age is making her a fine wine
we drank

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it
