So I will be writing a real post soon, full of excuses and explanations and pictures of cute boys, but since I watched all three hours of Emmy coverage tonight I had some extra thoughts, and I thought I’d share them with you.
- Wait, really Oprah? Wow, really Oprah.
- Wow, these guys are really boring, is Lee Pace going to be presenting anything? I don’t know, but if Pushing Daisies wins anything they’ll cut to him. That’s enough reason to keep watching.
- Hedi Klum looks good in a suit.
- Less good in that spangled shorts jumpsuit.
- They should get Rickey Gervais to host, he’s the only funny bit so far. (At all in fact.)
- Do you think he’s really off script? Everyone always says they’re not reading off the teleprompter, but maybe that’s just what the teleprompter is telling them to say.
- Pushing Daisies won for something! (Best director?) I should stop being totally obsessed with him, but he’s wearing a bow tie. Is he dating Kristen Chenowith? Who’s that girl sitting on the other side of him?
- Seriously, stop cutting to Tom Hanks.
- Isn’t Lily Tomlin dead? No, I guess I’m thinking of that other girl from SNL.
- Wait, Charlton Heston died?
- Random cut to Lee Pace!
- I love the Mary Tyler Moore theme song. She kind of looks like Carol Burnett now. Wait, her earrings are giant bronze safety pins, awesome. What is going on with her arms? They are scaring me. They’re not flabby, they’re kind of muscled, but they look all alien and wrong. She’s too skinny! Mary Tyler Moore, eat a sandwich! Maybe two!
- You could tell any girl with glasses that she looks like Tina Fay, even if she knows you’re lying she’ll be flattered. She’s like smart girl catnip.
- Yay The Amazing Race! Wait, why is the Aussie guy with the eyebrows not nominated for reality show host? Phil, why don’t they love you?
- I like Kate Walsh’s hair like that. She’s so pretty.
- Ok, Lauren Conrad and David Boreanaz? Man, he looks like he is going to call his agent as soon as he’s off stage, his internal monologue is all “Her? Really? Someone is going to explain this to me. And then get fired”.
- Neil Patrick Harris! Wait, where did he go?
- Hey, that redhead from Mad Men is pretty. No not the skinny girl in white, go back. They’re on stage now, but all I can see is her cleavage. That green dress looks great though.
- Oh, Laurence Fishburn was in the audience because he’s presenting. I kind of like the orange suit, but it’s really close to matching the background. Since the background is a giant tv screen you’d think this could have been avoided.
- And it’s over. Did I watch three hours of television just so I could see fifteen seconds of Lee Pace? Yes I did. Was it worth it? Totally (did I mention he was in a tux?)
, and it’s totally amazing. I’ve done some collage, a little painting, not much three-D but I have made a few books into boxes, (I have actually made books, but they didn’t have anything inside them). But this is like this amazing combination of all three, with words underneath, the possibility for narrative, and interactivity. I started making one last night, using my file of ten years worth of magazine clippings, plus the three+ year old stack of Elles that I can never bring myself to throw away, because when I go on an art binge and I need to find pictures of doors they are there for me. I’ve got one page spread done, and one halfway done, and there are piles of magazine pages spread across my entire floor, and it’s great. however I have discovered that I’m too old to sit all hunched over on the floor to work on a project. I go into this kind of a fugue state, where I’m so involved and focused on what I’m working on that everything else just falls away, and I’ll “wake up” two, three, four hours later, and these past few days I’ve barely been able to stand back up, my back and legs are so sore. Sadly I am not yet old enough to afford a nice big table to work at (I have a desk for my sewing machine, but it’s small, and cluttered with sewing crap) so I’m going to keep sitting on the floor (and spreading all my stuff across it).

= Me?
