Best speeches from the 2009 Webby awards
Okay so this is massively outdated. The Webby Awards, which recognize online excellence, were held in early June. Here’s a listing of this year’s winners. What’s great about the Webbys is that everyone is limited to five words in their acceptance speeches. No exceptions. Here are some of my favorites from this year’s event.
And other things ending in 'olly'
I watched “Hogfather” for the first time this weekend, and I forgot how much I love Death. I can’t think of another Discworld character I like better – though I love the City Watch. Guess I need to go get ‘Guards! Guards!’ – I’m still making my way through the older books (I read several of the newer ones then started over at the beginning). Anyway, I really enjoyed Death’s reaction to the socio-economic rules of holiday gifts.
Things to love/hate at this year's Emmys
The Emmys were on again this weekend, and being a huge fan of television, I of course watched them. Now, I should know better. They always get me all worked up, and I get so tired of the same people winning year after year. There were, however several things I liked about this year’s award show: Ricky Gervais, Josh Grobran, Bryan Cranston and more.
Tina Fey/Amy Poehler brilliant on SNL
Check out this hilarious sketch from the season premiere of Saturday night live. Now, I loves me some Tina Fey – and her Sarah Palin is definitely the better impression — but it’s Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton that really makes me giggle here. Well, at least until “Palin” starts posing. Probably the best bit of the whole thing. And isn’t it just amazing how much like Sarah Palin Tina Fey looks?
Shows I missed the first time around
There’s like nothing on TV over the summer, so I’ve been using the past couple months to catch up on some shows I missed when they premiered. I tend to do that every year; last summer was when I started watching ‘Battlestar Galactica’ and now it’s one of my favorite shows. This summer, I’ve gotten through the first few seasons of Doctor Who; the first season of Torchwood; and I’m working on Greek.
