OK, before I say anything else, I want you all to know that I am very happy that Bret Michaels seems to have recovered nicely from his cerebral hemorrage. Really, I am. He's a cheeseball with terrible taste in women, but he also seems like he's a pretty nice guy.
So anyway, I was just wondering if anyone finds it hilarious that he's wearing his bandana in that inset photo? I bet he's got his guyliner on, too.
Was anyone else as underwhelmed as I was with this year's crop of Super Bowl commercials? I was doubly disappointed because for the first time in years I actually watched the game (and it was a good one - go Saints!) and was looking forward to seeing some really good ads. Like I said, disappointed!
However, while they may have been overall unimpressive, there were a few I liked.
For someone who loves TV as much as I do, you'd think that Emmy night would be a big deal for me. It isn't.
I "watch" the Emmys (and other award shows) online, on the day after they aired. I just can't be bothered with sitting there for hours, watching the awards go to either the same old, boring people (Jon Cryer? Really?) or to shows and actors that I don't watch (Mad Men, Breaking Bad, 30 Rock...and nowadays, that accounts for most of the winners and nominees, I'm afraid to admit). And for some reason, the older I get, the more self-congratulatory these award shows feel to me.
Instead, I read recaps by my favoriteTV bloggers, look at the red carpet pictures, and watch the highlights on YouTube and the like. Isn't the Internet a wonderful thing?
From what I hear, Neil Patrick Harris did a fabulous job hosting, and Michael Emerson won! YES! YES! And I read that Ricky Gervais was very funny, and there was even a Dr. Horrible clip! Cool.
Let's see if I can find some good videos to share...

Ricky Gervais presents award to Jon Stewart (if only Simon Pegg was there they would have completed my Funny Geek Crush Trifecta):
And finally, Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer highjack the show:
