But ... but ... but I don't LIKE the Emmys!

[apocalypsos]

From Ausiello:

My Emmy spies are telling me that host-producer-nominee Neil Patrick Harris has tapped John 'I'm a PC' Hodgman to serve as the announcer at Sunday's ceremony. (The guy that says, "This is Tony Shaloub's 74th nomination and 64th win.") According to the insider, the plan is to have him not be entirely credible facts-wise — a la Hodgman's Daily Show "expert."

Also, there's going to be a Dr. Horrible skit.

I don't wanna watch the Emmys, damn it! Stop making tonight's show look attractive to me, for fuck's sake!

I grabbed myself cottage cheese and applesauce, cheese and a peach for breakfast, sat down to eat it, had one bite of everything, and then wasn't hungry anymore. That's just wonderful. *sigh*

I need to write something today or else I'm going to punch myself in the face. I keep finding other things to do that are useless and stupid and end up sucking up all my spare time until I turn around and it's nighttime and I don't want to deal anymore.

EDIT: Also, every time I get friended on Facebook by someone I graduated high school with who never deigned to speak to me back then, I kinda feel like rearing back from the computer like it's spitting out fire or something.

I admit it, I snickered.

Have you ever read The Areas of My Expertise -- or better yet, listened to the audiobook? (I generally dislike audiobooks and prefer to read, but iTunes had it for free for a while and I've learned that I can't listen to it at work because I laugh out loud far too often.)

That basis alone now has me desperately wanting to watch. Damn. And tonight I'm having dinner at a friend-with-no-TV's place. And I'm not generally interested in the Emmys.

Damn. TiVo, here I come and YouTube tomorrow...

Dammit! I was not even considering watching the Emmy's tonight, forgot they were even on and now you went and ruined that! Shit. Guess I'm watching the Emmy's. How can I pass up Dr. Horrible??

Also, I have tons of friends on FB that were people I didn't interact much with in HS. It's kinda creepy. They are so hyped up to be friends now and I'm all like "Dude, you had your chance".

See, half of it is that it's Facebook, and I hate Facebook, I don't even know why I have an account there, I really have no desire to talk to anyone from high school and everybody else is someone I'm either related to or know already through LJ.

And the other half of it is ... okay, friends I hung out with in high school, I get. People who still live in town and therefore I see them occasionally or at least did for a while there, I get. I just got friended by someone I quite literally cannot EVER remember talking to, and we were in the same class of about sixty kids from kindergarten to senior year. I can remember times I hung out with the popular kids for National Honor Society and SADD and basketball, I can remember hanging out with my clique of Nirvana-worshipping social misfits, I can even remember hanging out with the special ed kid I ran into the other day at the bank. But I seriously can not remember a single time I ever spoke to this girl. I think I saw her at a local bar once and she didn't even recognize me, although I imagine it might have helped if I'd had a paperback covering my face.

I know! I had NO intention of watching the emmies. at all. and then they say 'dr. horrible sketch' and it's like 'damnit.

Adding hodgman to the pile is just more reason I'm gonna have to sit through the thing now. lol

Yeah, Dr. Horrible brought me close but John Hodgeman did me in. I'm now Tivoing the Emmys. DAMN THEM.

I tend to skip most of those for the most part & end up connecting w/ the authors I like over there. =)

Pleaseohplease tell me Nathan Fillion will be part of that Dr. Horrible skit.....

The reason I don't do Facebook is exactly that: I know that there are a ton of people from high school on Facebook, and if they friended me I'd freak, and if they pretended I didn't exist it would just be a trigger for the 6 years I spent in that horrifying town. (Their main complaint with me? That I didn't move to Kansas until I was 12, therefore I was an outsider. For whatever reason, that was REALLY hard for me to deal with.)

Yeah, I've had those Facebook issues myself. I tend to add people unless I really really have no memory of ever interacting with them. Plus there was my old roommate from Denver, who slept with my ex-boyfriend. No adds for them.
