Gah, I guess I'll have to watch this years' Emmy's since Aly's going to present an award.
How do you know you're a fan? When you willingly watch something you haven't seen in years just to catch your favourite thespian.
*sigh*
Maybe it won't be so bad this year. Maybe the winners will really be people who deserve to win. Maybe the judges won't be so stuffy and vote outside the box. And maybe I'll have some flying bacon for lunch today.

Ah,well,
You could always tape it and fast forward obver the dull parts.
(Or just tape the clips from the show they do after it's over.)

Yeah, that only works if I know anything about football or baseball.
EDIT: this is a reply to Kev.

I could do that ... if my VCR still worked.
DVD and the internet has really spoiled me.

"Reunion" is indeed starting out to be a damn' fine show.
I didn't accomplish squat. I don't know why I come home anymore. Too damn' many shiny things to distract me from writing.
Rehearsal went well, a little cold, but we haven't worked the scene in five days. Show's next week -- it's gonna be a good one.
Now just hangin' around waiting for "The Daily Show" to encore.
Hey, all.

Maybe it's so that you have a place called home?
And segue ...
Well, it's not hard to see Anyone who looks at me Knows I am just a rolling stone Never landing anyplace to call my own To call my own
Well, it seems like so long ago But it really ain't you know I started out a crazy kid Miracle I made it through the things I did The things I did
Someday I'll go where there ain't no rain or snow ‘Til then, I travel alone And I make my bed with the stars above my head And dream of a place called home
I had a chance to settle down Get a job and live in town Work in some old factory I never liked the foreman standing over me Over me
Oh I’d rather walk a winding road Rather know the things I know See the world with my own eyes No regrets, no looking back, no goodbyes No goodbyes
Someday I'll go where there ain't no rain or snow ‘Til then, I travel alone And I make my bed with the stars above my head And I dream of a place called home
Saw Shells on rerun last night, and that song just killed me.

* lighter * Nice one, Nick!
The pollen count always goes up when someone sings that song, I fear.
I may skip the Emmys. The presenters rarely get to say too much and it's usually some dumb exchange scripted by Bruce Villanche.
Unless I'm thinking of something else.
How's work going?

Just have Joss write for the Emmys, but of course the winner will always be...
...Jasmine.
Why do we even try anymore.

Busy in spurts, free in others. Thanks for asking.
And a Joss-written and directed awards would be awesome, Jasmine gags notwithstanding.

Wow, I have been doing many drive-by posts lately.
On Wednesday, during Karate there was this new red-belt. Tonight was a small class, only 4 people there including myself (1 Orange tip, 2 Red-belts and a Brown-Belt). I've never seen this guy before but not only did he suck but he was so annoying, he also looked like Zach from DH. He kept talking back to the teacher and acting like he could beat up everyone and that he knew everything.
We had to spar and the teacher said boys against each other, girls against each other (there were 2 boys and 2 girls). I had to spar the Zach look-a-like, the teacher said that he had to go easy on me because I was the lowest belt. Before we got started, he started talking to me, he asked if my friend Olga (Who I do karate with and we've been friends since we were 5 years old. Helen, our other friend wasn't there. We've all known each other since we were 5.) was my girlfriend, I told him no she is just a really good friend. I turned around to see what the teacher was saying to the other students and he kept going you like her, you like her blah, blah, blah. I ignored him.
Then Olga looked out the window and saw my brother, he usually watches near the end of class. The guy asked if that was my friend, I told him it was my brother and then he asked how come he does come in. I told him I didn't want him too. Because he has autism, its monkey see, monkey do so I told my brother to go. Then the guy starts going on about it good that I'm learning Karate so its more "fun" to beat up my little brother.
Then he asked me if I knew this girl called Robin. I had met Robin once but Olga and Helen have told me stories about her, she is a complete b*tch.
Once Olga, Helen and I went to this open sensai night, its where you get to train with the sensai's and Robin was there. We had a small break and I went to Olga and Helen to talk. I had let Olga borrow Buffy season 7 a week before and she had finished watching it. She gave it back and we started to talk about Buffy, then Robin came up to us and interrupted our conversation. Then she noticed I was holding Buffy DVD's and she asked what they were, I told her and she said "Oh my God! You guys watch Buffy! BUFFY!" and Olga and I were like so whats wrong with that and she wouldn't shut up about herself. Then the break was over.
Another time she came to a class and all she did was sit at the back of the class and call people names.
Anyways, back to what happened on Wednesday night. I told him that I had only met Robin once and then he said that he was her older brother. I was like whatever. Then he told us to start, did I mention that he sucked. He didn't really even bother to throw many punches or kicks, I backed him into a corner and he was like stop, I need to get out. I was like its your fault.
Then we had to change and I got put with the Brown-belt. I had a much better time sparring her, she actually threw punches and kicks (I am very good at blocking kicks btw. I never get hit by them). Then the next thing I know I hear OWWW!!! Jenny (the Brown-belt) and I turned around to see Olga had kicked him in the stomach and she said it was an "accident".
Later she told me that he was giving her the sh*ts and he kicked her really hard in the back so she kicked him in the stomach as pay-back. The teacher didn't see him kick her but he told her to watch your kicks and to remember to keep them below the belt. (Just kick them in the legs, no where else.)
Then we had to go take our mitts and pads off, while I was taking mine off the teacher went mad at him because the guy kept thinking and acting like he knew everything. The teacher told him that he is here to learn and that he shouldn't be a smart @ss towards the other belts or the teacher. Then The guy shut up and the class finished. Hopefully I never see him again.
Now for an Un-karate related subject, yesterday I got an Ipod Shuffle. I haven't stopped using it, I have 77 songs on it and I'm listening to it now. The song at the moment is Smile Like You mean It by The Killers. I have the whole album on it, plus Garbage, Evanescence, Linkin Park, No Doubt and a bunch of various other songs. I just love technology.

Sounds like The jerk and his sister are victims of the same genetic or environmental defect.
Robin might have been interested in y'all and he was checking you out.
They both might think being idiotic is a cool and fun method for impressing people.
Martial arts might be good for them (though I doubt they'd stick to it) because anything that emphasizes objective skill gives them something real to be confident in and strips away all the conceit and bravado that gets in their way.
They could use some 'tough love' before they get so obnoxious they throw away any chance of being respectble human beings.
Believe it or not,I think they want to be popular.
They just have no inkling of how to interact with people other than doing bad impersonations of b movie rudeness.

They just have no inkling of how to interact with people other than doing bad impersonations of b movie rudeness. Robin is a Brown-belt. A very tall, young brown belt who is only 13 and my height. She is also more of a man then me which is kinda scary., and she has a really bad fashion sense, she looks like she has been crawling though a salvo's bin. From what I've been told, she used to slack off and had really sloppy karate. (like she couldn't be bothered.)
But the thing that p*sses me off is, their mum is an instructor but she didn't do any of the classes or anything. From what I've been told she just used to sit there and watch and then she tried to become an instructor and they let her. You have to be a black belt and a certain age to be an instructor but you don't have to be one if you don't want to. While everyone else has spent a few good years on becoming a black-belt, their mum gets is handed to her on a silver platter. It not fair to everyone else.
