So, Apparently, I'm Not Dead

Funny thing happened. Remember when I said I was getting into soccer? Well I did. To the point where I was watching the World Cup everyday, even if I wasn't entirely sure where the country playing was located, or, for that matter, that they had existed prior to the match. I got so involved with it, that I kind of stopped doing... things. Too terrified was I to get a job or do anything, productive, by the idea that I miss out on foreign men kicking around some balls. See, I got so into all of it that that phrase didn't even make me laugh when I just said it. Actually... that was a lie. But damned if I didn't try to fight it. But it's July now, and after about three interventions and countless awkward dinner conversations with my parents, the world cup is about to come to a close, when Italy and France play each other on Sunday. I've used this last week, where the games became more sporadic, to slowly reintroduce myself to society - getting a job, reacquainting myself with sunlight, etc. So now, I figured I'd start writing here again. It only seemed natural, since the people who read it have started spreading out over the world again.

Also, speaking of blogs that took the last month off, I can't recommend enough that you check in with BLOGregard Q. Kazoo, the official blog from the creators of 'Fosters Home From Imaginary Friends', where they post artwork and talk about the production of the show. And if you go there today, you'll see that they were nominated for best animated program under half an hour. Hmm... what's that I smell? Is it a segue? Hell yeah it is.

The Emmy nominations were announced today. And... I'm just going to leave it for now. But seriously, FUCKING STOCKARD CHANNING? It wasn't even for the 'West Wing' (way overnominated, again) but for that awful show that took Henry Winkler away from 'Arrested Development', and was cancelled this year. Because no one watched it. And it was awful. So let's leave Lauren Graham out in the wind because Rizzo graced television with her presence yet again. Yipes, just fucking yipes. And Lost? Did they forget about this show? They shouldn't have, after they gave it the award last year. Maybe they refused to award a show that actually surprised them. Or maybe they just forgot about it, they were too busy stuffing candy in their mouths. I don't know. I'm not a pyschic.

There were some bright spots. '24' led the pack with 12 nominations, getting it's first none Keifer Sutherland acting noms for Jean Smart and Gregory Itzin as everyone's favorite couple, the Logans. And if GOB gets a statue, angels will smile. But he won't. Because if history means anything, then look for Duckie or the spastic gay guy to win. And the angels will weep. And then begin sharpening their swords, readying for the coming war. Seriously. It's in the bible.
