On the Emmys: Yes, I'm watching. Yes, I still think they're total bullshit. Ignore The Wire on it's FINAL season? Stupid ignorant sluts. So, sure Mad Men will almost certainly win and it's an amazing show but it did not win FAIR. And it does not deserve to win over The Wire. So whathefuckever. I'm just watching to see all my favorite actors and writers and I'll probably be doing other stuff while it's on. It would be very, very nice if Steve would win but I won't be surprised to see him and The Office get robbed again.
On politics: Can someone PLEASE make the election be over? I thought the primaries were bad but this is worse. I hate McCain and Palin (oh god, the CRAZY) and all I want is Obama to win so I can have a little hope in this country and not want to kill myself watching Brothers and Sisters (TV: the only place I can't avoid politics) or actually getting a chance to watch The West Wing. I actually had to leave my History of Women class and plug my ears during half of it because they wouldn't shut up about politics. It fills me with so much rage that I've had to completely unplug from the election for my own sanity and peace of mind. I feel like this country is so going to hell no matter how much I want to believe that the future slowly gets better. The only thing helping me is remembering that no matter what happens, I'll still have the bastion of happiness of fandom not to mention TV, LA and most importantly, friends. This quote from QaF helps too: "So the "thumpa thumpa" continues. It always will. No matter what happens. No matter who's president. As our lady of Disco, the divine Miss Gloria Gaynor has always sung to us: We will survive."
Premiere week is upon us! Almost all my shows will be back during this week. I am still working on catching up on TV after marathoning Sex and the City but I am having a great time watching all the episodes I stored up. Also, found a new show! So this show called Lost in Austen looked fascinating so I gave it a try and loved it! Basically a girl who loves Jane Austen/Pride and Prejudice is transported to that world. Great concept and I adored the Pilot. The main character is very cute and I can't help but love a girl who escapes into books. She reminds me a lot of Gwyn physically but thankfully I like her lots better. Definitely recommend the show to everyone! I actually have never finished Pride and Prejudice, I've read 3/4ths of it twice (better than LotR, I've read the first few chapters like five times) so I'm hoping this will give me more motivation to finally get it finished. In my copious spare time, ha. I am so behind on everything.
On the school front, I like most of my classes so that's good. As expected my two Philosophy classes are my favorites. Sooo fascinating. Ancient Philosopy is incredibly interesting, I love thinking about all that kind of stuff and logic is just so useful and cool to understand. That one I can definitely see being useful with contructing arguments for vids and such. Also plus about my Ancient Philosophy class, the professor is REALLY hot. Like, Mohinder levels hot. Which is why I'm calling him Mohinder especially since the class is on Monday night and I have to speed home to have a chance at watching Heroes. So far they are going well but not too much work so far, thank god.
Loved House last week! I have more thoughts on it but for now, awwww House and Wilson. Make up and make out guys! This is my slogan for this season (really any season). And I even have a pretty House and Wilson kissing wallpaper that makes me happy everytime I look at it. Also, The Office premiering this Thursday! I'm so excited for my favoritest show to be back :D |

As a TV fan, the Emmys are big. Much bigger than the Oscars. I get to see all my favorite people get recognized for their work that I love so much. I was so excited all day for it.
( Emmy Spoilers )
So glad tomorrow is the first day of the new Fall TV season. |

The Office got 9 Emmy nominations! YAY!!! I am so happy and proud of everyone who works on the show. It's good to see the show get the recognition it deserves. And I am SO happy with the acting nominations :D Steve, Rainn and Jenna, it's the most perfect I could expect from the Emmys. First of all, RAINN WILSON got the supporting actor nomination!! OMG YAY! I totally screamed in happiness at that news. It is so good to see him recognized because he truly is an amazing actor and this season was Dwight's season to shine. It was great to see the show and Rainn go beyond the caricature and make him so three dimensional from his love of authority to his geekiness to his relationship with Angela (Traveling Salesman FTW) to his principles (The Negotiation FTW) to his sweet moments with Pam (Back From Vacation/The Job FTW!). If there is any beloved character now, it's gotta be Dwight and Rainn did an amazing job of showing why. Plus, he's really, really funny. And I have to say THANK GOD John Krasinki didn't get the nomination over Rainn Wilson as I would have been pissed. I'm sick of all the fangirl focus on him to the exclusion of Rainn (and everyone else) especially when he didn't even do much this season. So I had a nice MUAHAHA moment there even though it would have been nice to see them both nominated.
Also Jenna Fischer got a nomination YAY! I am so happy and so proud of her as she really deserves this award. She did such a great job with Pam's transition into Fancy New Beesley and Beach Games and The Job completely won me over to her character. It's good to see the Emmy's recognize an actress that isn't famous and a character that is more subtle that most. Also I'm so glad Steve got the nomination for Business School! He did an amazing job in that episode especially with the end which was emotionally magnificent and showed why I love Michael. I understand Steve not getting as much fanfare but if he hadn't been on the list, I would have been enraged with the snub so I am thankful I can be relatively happy with the Emmy nominations. I also loved seeing Gay Witch Hunt and The Negotiation get writing awards as I think both are strong, funny episodes that get ignored in the favor of *big* episodes. GWH in particular is a favorite of mine that cracks me up everytime. Also I'm happy for Ken Kwapis and the editing team whose contributions often get overlooked but are important nonetheless. The only thing I'm disappointed about is the cast not getting a casting award and Melora not getting nominated not to mention Angela but it's the Emmy's so whatever. Hopefully The Office will at least win a few of the awards as I don't trust the voters to recognize one of the best shows on earth even if there is some good competition (but not better).

I may actually make three LJ posts (so sorry for the Randy delay) today for the first time in a long time. But I'll be gone all day tomorrow and Saturday for work and HARRY POTTER (!!!) so there you go. And I'm watching Torchwood and there was actually two great plots in a row! I get quickly bored with alien cop procedural format, Captain Jack Hotness or not, so seeing two good episodes was wonderful (the Greeks one and Suzie who I actually liked in the pilot). I still am not sure if I'll be able to finish Farcape before VIVIDCON (so excited!) but I'm glad to hear about the new stuff coming to that and BSG. Have I mentioned the 7th Harry Potter book is coming out tomorrow and I haven't been spoiled yet? CANNOT WAIT! |
