loving this.

Maybe, just maybe, if football was more like this I would enjoy it.



Thank you Glee.

reminding you. just in case you forgot...

that Neil Patrick Harris rocks.

and almost caused marital strife due to someone's fast finger on the remote's forward button last night.

because i made clin watch every NPH second of the emmys. and oh so fun.

p.s. john cryer???? over NPH??? come on. what is the world coming to.

mortimer ichabod marker.

I forgot. Completely forgot. And was nicely surprised to stumble upon this. The theme song alone gave me a happy rush.

recapping the oscars.

I know. You probably do not watch the Oscars. You probably don't care. But Clin and I have this thing. You know. Where we watch them.

We used to throw mini-oscar parties. Where the guests were all required to bring something to eat that represented a nominated film. My favorite was when Krista brought a cake in the shape of a fetus. It represented Cider House Rules. Now that I think about it....I don't believe we have held a party since. Hmmm. I knew I hated that movie.

So my highlights from last night:

1. Hugh Jackman sings. I just like any host that sings. Hugh Jackman or not.
   


2. Anne Hathaway - I love you more each day. And you sing!
   


3. During his acceptance speech for Best Animated Feature Film (WALL-E), Andrew Stanton said, "I guess I'd be remiss if I did not thank my high school drama teacher Phil Perry for 28 years ago casting me as Barnaby in Hello, Dolly!. Creative seeds are sown in the oddest of places so, uh, thank you so much to the Academy for this." Shout out to a drama teacher and Hello Dolly! in the same sentence. Can it get any better? Or more like-able?
   


4. Ben Stiller, you're funny. Not always. But tonight I laughed.
   


5. Man on Wire won Best Documentary. And the subject of the doc did a coin trick and balanced the oscar on his chin. Come on! That's entertainment.
   


6. Kate Winslet - I love you. I'm glad you won. But your award should have come years ago for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
   


7. Slumdog Millionaire won! I haven't seen it. But I always root for movies from India with very like-able looking leads.

a laughin'...

I love you Amazing Race! And I love you cheese!

postponing my addictions.

My dear friend, the DVR, is working overtime right now. This is what I'm wishing I had time for and looking forward to catching:

Battlestar Galactica

24

Heroes - as long as it gets better. I may be giving up on this one.

Fringe - kind of gross, but J.J. Abrams has me hooked again.

Leverage - check this one out. Like-a-ble.

Burn Notice - the lead looks just like my bro-in-law Nate.

American Idol - love, love, love, love. (Hate bikini girl. Agree with me. Please????)

The Real World - I'm too old for this. I know. But there's a Mormon on. I can't resist. Throw a Mormon in the mix, and I'm hooked.

Real Housewives of Orange County - I really hate this show. I don't like one person on it. I love hating this show. I'm shocked that this is reality for some people. And I hate that.

Top Chef - If you aren't hooked, you should be. Everything I know about cooking? Gleaned from this show.

Lost - Oh so good... Again.

The Amazing Race - Next Sunday night! New season! Can't miss!

And then there are those that I'm keeping up with on the weekends:

Office
30 Rock
How I Met Your Mother
The Big Bang Theory

jealous.

Clin: "I love her."

Me: "You love her?"

Clin: "I love her."

I say this all the time; that I love someone. Male or female, it's my way of saying I like something a lot. But Clin never says this. Occasionally to me. Occasionally. But about someone else? Never.

So to hear this gave me a bit of a twinge. A double-take. And then I thought...

I think that I love her too.

crying.

This past week - I burst into tears while watching TV.

That's right. I had a moment. I connected with television. Something so passionate, so moving, that I could not hold it in. I'm sure that if you had been here, you would have had the same reaction.

What could have possibly thrown me into such a state?

Episode 5 of MTV's Legally Blonde The Musical: The search for Elle Woods. That's right, a weekly competition to find a new lead in the broadway musical, Legally Blonde.

This past Monday night - the girls were asked to complete a questionnaire that asked them to identify the best singer, the worst, the best/worst actress, etc. You get the idea - they were asked to rate their competition.

In a move that Elle Woods would have approved of - the girls decided to rephrase all of the questions to say something like, who is the most improved singer? Eighteen minutes and 20 seconds into the show Rhiannon complimented Lauren, saying....

I put Lauren because I watched you dance at the 1st audition. And I watched you dance today. (Crying) And just to see your confidence level go from here to through the roof was just...so amazing to watch.

And when she cried - I cried. It was beautiful.
