Emmys Anyone

8:07pm Neil Patrick Harris sung something funny and did some nice jokes about theme songs. Nice to see him hosting since after Doogie Howser I thought he was a goner.

I may switch to the Giants game so I'll keep that in blue.

8:12pm Kristin Chenoweth won for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy for Pushing Daisies
Damn good she was the best and that show was the best.

8:26pm Jon Cryer won for Best Supporting Actor for Two & Half Men not a bad decision.

Jordin Sparks sung the national anthem, she was very okay. Former Pres George Bush flipped the coin and no surprise the Cowboys won.

8:33pm Toni Collette outstanding actress in a comedy for United States of Tara which is blah at best.

Just in case you think I can't split again I'm also doing an engineering report in another window.

Giants settle for 3 points, by the the way the Jets did win this afternoon.

8:42pm Best directing went to some The Office episode which I don't watch, not funny.

A great shot of Bush and Madden as newly retired. No Jessica Simpson mentions yet.

8:50pm Alec Baldwin outstanding lead actor in a comedy for 30 Rock, blah.

Dang the cowboys scored 6 +1.

9:00pm Jeff Probst won for best hosting, no surprise.

Giants score 7 on an interception, they show the Cowboys owner picking his nose then the Giants recover a fumble.

9:09pm Amazing Race won for best reality-competition, no surprise.

9:12pm TV Movie actors but I don't watch them so back to football, crud commercials, back to the report then.

Giants up by 13 to 7.

9:21pm More Mini-Series/Movies that I never watched.

Dang the cowboys scored 14 to 13 now.

9:30pm Dr. Horrible bit was funny.

9:54pm Writers for variety shows are always funny and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart won so good for him.

My word there are a lot of British and Australian actors portraying Americans on our TV shows.

Juggling catch by the Giants puts on top 20 to 14, a 3 pointer now has it at 20 - 17. They keep showing the stadium's 160 feet 4 sided TV, it looks so dangerous.

10:08pm Ricky Gervais just insulted everyone in the room and at home. The Daily Show won again and Stewart wants to go back stage and watch the Giants game.

10:20pm Micheal Emerson from Lost won for best supporting actor. Greatest choice possible. His wife works on True Blood.
Cherry Jones from 24 as the President won for best supporting actress.

In Memoriam with live singing by Sarah Mclachlan.
99% were true stars, so many.

Cute putting the two guys who played vampires together, Stephen Moyer and David Boreanz.

10:40pm Glenn Close won for Damages as lead actress in a drama series. Blah.

10:49pm Bryan Cranston won for Breaking Bad lead actor in a drama series, very good the man is great in everything he does.

10:53pm 30 Rock outstanding comedy series, Weeds should of won or even Family Guy.

Dang gummit Dallas is winning.

11:01pm Mad Men outstanding drama series, ehhh I would have gone with Breaking Bad.

3 minutes over time, Emmys were OK overall.

And with 4 seconds left on the clock the Giants win 33-31.

Happy and Sad

Glee: Acafellas
Slight improvement with the musical track but not as funny as previous episodes. Apparently everyone in that school can sing and dance as the teacher forms an a capella group with other teachers and they're great.

Special appearance by Josh Grobin as a pro-drunken-chubby chaser was cool.

Now the sad,
Henry Gibson of Laugh-In fame also did 4 seasons of King of the Hill and Boston Legal, at the same time, died of cancer at the age of 73.

With over 135 shows and movies under his name he could be funny or creepy.


Well the year is more than half over so hopefully everyone else can stay healthy and alive.

King of the Hill Series Finale

King of the Hill: To Sirloin with Love

Bobby learns he's a beef savant and his father realizes he final can bond with his son.

For 13 years King of the Hill struggled with realism versus the absurd. The Simpsons of course went to the unreal but the people over at Hill kept bringing back the show to a guy who loves his family and his very small world.

Good job and I can't wait for the next Mike Judge project ( I will ignore the awful The Goode Family that premiered last season).


Off topic: Kanye West and Charlie Sheen seem to be vying for the moron of the year award.

8 Years or 1 Day

It is still a fresh wound and the threat is still out there.

Once again on September 11, 2001 nineteen Muslims under the banner of Al-Qaeda hijacked four planes and crash most of them in American buildings. The loss of life was large. Right-wing-Islamic religious hate is what sparked the attack as none of the hijackers were poor or oppressed.

Never forget.

Update: I would add the all NYC stations carry the reading of names and the memorial at ground zero uninterrupted, while the 24 hours cable station do nothing but fear and speculate.

Glee


Glee: Showmance

Still funny but they have changed the musical audio track by overlaying the singing instead of live on stage and pumping up the music. So the show is a bit over-the-top with surreal jokes but now with the pumped up music it is losing some of its small school charm.

Best of class 2009

Thieves

I always despised the internet for the rampant stealing (also political lies and conspiracy theories). Music, movies, book, software, and original writing all free to trade if lack morals.

Now my stuff has been stolen a time or two but mostly copy and paste stuff. This is going a bit far:

This loser (girl my as.),From this site,Posted this and twisted some words around,

From my original,

cinemax, Channel #85

Lots of popular movies but they have a deserving reputation for peddling softcore p0rn. At this moment they are having Busty Cops: Protect and Serve! the plot makes no sense and they are not effective cops but then again I maybe missing the point(s).
No need to link to thief but now I know how the original authors of Harry Potter and The Lion King must have felt.

The Mist

Finally I saw Stephen King's The Mist on its Showtime premiere tonight and it was good.

Not to ruin it for anyone but it is a movie about the problem with too much and too little faith, plus monsters.

Marcia Gay Harden plays Sarah Palin perfectly as everyone makes bad decisions in times of crisis.


The book ends differently.
