Emmy shallowness: has anyone found pictures of Jennifer Garner?
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jennifer's popular here.

Simon got props? That is maybe not a birthday gift, but some kind of portent of the end of the world. Still cool to me. And speaking of class...if both those guys can be in the same room, being my "husband" and "boyfriend' and nobody jails, that's classy, too. I didn't watch...I have an allergy to award shows. I'll still go get my Emmy, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was dorkily excited when they said Pelecanos's name on the Emmys. Like he's my friend or something. I mean, really.
Jennifer Garner's all preggo! Cute.
I just found out last night that two close family friends (one is my god sister) are pregnant with twins! I mean, two different women. That'll be a lot of babies all of a sudden.

Jesse, wrod. I did the same thing when my friend sent me the nom. announcement.(I get a Quinn and Strange toaster for her, too. the hippest toaster ever.) Yeah...I felt all proud like my good taste was getting props, or like my real boyfriend just got a promotion. Pelecanos fans are pretty passionate. Amazon told me I am 85,000 times more likely than most customers to buy his latest.

Jesse & erika would have to split my Pelecanos toaster -- maybe I could get each of them a barbeque lighter or something.
Yeah, Rome is finally picking up the pace a bit. I wasn't sure if it was going to be worth continuing with, but the last 2 episodes have been much more entertaining (and I don't just mean James' Purefoy).

I have a pretty good record of people I actually know being named on awards shows, actually -- a friend of my parents has won a few Grammys, and a guy on the board of the place I used to work (so not my BFF, but someone I've spoken with) was the chairman of a theater company that won one of the big Tonys a couple of years ago. Fun!

I'm gonna make a fairly un-Buffista comment here, and that is that I occasionally get a kick out of "Raymond". It isn't cool or a proud moment, but worth a few chuckles when the news is really bad. However, I don't get the Emmy lovefest, because it is totally the least groundbreaking thing to ever exist, and I think the Emmys should always honor the best that television has. Of course, they often don't(pointedly sparing everyone the Joss Whedon, Kyle Secor, and Chris Bauer speech.) however giving an award for Raymond is like giving a culinary prize to somebody for making a peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwich, instead of using grape. Wow. However will I keep up?
