emmys and whatnot (road house 3D edition)

Pretty decent Emmys this year with some very funny moments:

Super cool:

-The Office wins best comedy!!!

-Julia Louis-Dreyfus wins best comedic actress- she's cute

-Greg Garcia's speech

-The following banter:
"I'm Emmy winner Tiny Fey."
"And I'm home owner Tracey Morgan."

-Colbert and Stewart's patter and love pats
Looksee: Stewart and Colbert Present

-The-Bob Newhart-only-being-given-so-much-air-so-keep-the-thank-you-speeches-quick-schtick

-Conan's opening montage where he enters into various shows- especially the Office bit. It would have been cool to see Conan try to keep up the pace on The Gilmore Girls.
Looksee: Conan on the Office

Lovely Emmy Garb/Garments:
Ladies:
-Portia de Rossi
-Julia Louis-Dreyfus
-Debra Messing

Gents:
-Jon Stewart
-Peter Krause
-Tim Gunn!

Whatnot:

-Found myself having to ask for clarification on "Road House too" or "Road House 2?" Turns out it was Road House 2, a sequel does in fact exist.

Little Miss Sunshine was a hoot!

Project Runway just gets more angsty and wonderful every week. Michael is my favorite. He is the most talented, humble and likeable on the show. His clothes are structured, fashion forward and unique- not just baggy sundresses others seem to skim by on each week. I think the ideal top three would be Michael, Jeffrey (neck tattoo) and Kayne if he tones it down and gets it together. Otherwise Laura or Uli have that spot. I'm into it. That Michael Kors line last week about "Comme des Garcons goes to Amish country" was rad.

Can't wait for the BBC's Robin Hood miniseries with Richard Armitage as Guy of Gisborne- lordy!

san diego, favre and misc tv/movies (IKEA you not)

Talladega Nights was so funny!! From the baby Jesus to the over the top ad spoofs to the Whitesnake-inspired scene I loved it.

Project Runway was a bit of a rollercoaster. The design challenge last night was to create an outfit from materials gathered at a recycling plant in New Jersey!! So tired of these reality competition shows keeping freakshows around (ratings, spectacle, cheese, I know, I know) and sacrificing people with legitimate talent. Sad to see Alison go. She is a cute person of immense talent who got cut due to an albeit wonky dress, which was such a fluke. She forever won me over when she said she half expected to hear the Sopranos theme music on their way to the recycling plant. Glad Michael is raking in the wins. I agree with my Mom, the guy with the neck tattoo probably really deserved the win with his intricate paper dress. The bodice work alone took that challenge.

Took a quick trip to San Diego a few weeks back. Quite fun. Highlights included:

The Zoo!
The theme seemed to be baby animals. So cute. Even the little baby boars were cute.
Tiny meerkats, peacocks, gorillas and a baby panda. I was a little nervous about the baby panda, who was napping way up in a tree, falling. My favorites were the orangutans and the gorillas. I agree with Brooke and Katie that the koalas looked like little old men. So great. The San Diego Zoo is lovely. If I lived in SD I'd get a season pass and go often.

Andy Warhol's Dream America
On a whim I dropped by the museum. So glad I did. Andy Warhol's Dream America-a huge collection of his screenprints on display. What an experience. I liked the double exposure of Jackie O. and Kafka ones quite a bit. Link below:

La Jolla
What a pretty beach and walk. San Diego is pretty cool.

IKEA
Finally visited an IKEA. They are cool. I left feeling overwhelmed and as though I need to get my life in order. The mazarin tort is yummy.

My pictures turned out really bad. $9 disposable camera, who would have guessed? When Brooke sends some pics, I'll do some postin'.

Today's Office webisode was the best yet! It is what these webisode dealies should have been all along. Last week's with Stanley was good too. I believe Jessica will concur.

World Series of Pop Culture
My team didn't win, shucks. I'll miss you Boeghy Bunch and Pat Kiernan too.

Project Runway
Here's hoping Alison or Michael win.

Proposed Cagematch o' the day:
Dog the Bounty Hunter vs. that guy from the Big Spender show (He and his shirts scare me)

Song of the day:
"The Kindness of Strangers" - The American Analog Set
