This is fun and it certainly helps the three hours pass, but I’m starting to feel delusional.

Conversation with self:

Me; Hi, is this interesting to anyone but you?
Me: What, the Emmys or your blogs?

And we’re back to the show.

I really wanted Hall to win for Dexter, but I think it’s great and obviously need to start watching Breaking Bad.

No one applauded for Heston. Interesting.

It is always surprising to recall those who passed from the industry. Too soon, all.

Goose bumps hit at Carlin.

Sigh. See you in a minute.

What’s w/the orchestral version of Coldplay’s Viva La Vida?!

Piven – laugh, g damn it! Or smile, show some respect.

OMG, Rickles is hysterical. The bit about his wife? Awesome.

She might have the best cheekbones in town. The rest isn’t so shabby either. Would it be inappropriate to say meow? I hope not, because I just did.

LOL, a Forrest Gump reference. So 94.

I’m just going to say it…not sure who I have a bigger crush on, Laura Linney and Tina Fey.

Wow, they are plugging the hell out of the Reality: Competition category.
