So the TWoP 2004-2005 Tubey Awards are going up, and Veronica Mars, Lost, and Arrested Development are kicking ass, thank God. (In fact, I think the only ways VM and Lost have gotten knocked so far is VM for having Paris Hilton on and Lost for ... well, just for Kate.) And they were the top three for Best Cast, so woohoo! And Franklin got two awards. Go, Franklin! *giggles*

I'm a little torn about all of the Desperate Housewives bashing that's going on. Because I am completely and totally hooked on the show and a little defensive, but at the same time, I know damn well where all of the faults are and if I never see the cast on another magazine cover (with the exception of Marcia Cross), it will be too soon.

Also, yay for The 4400 for beating Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars (which I still have yet to see ... *sigh*) for best miniseries! We're a small, desperate fandom, damn it, and we'll take what we can get. ;)

... and it appears I'm experiencing award show withdrawal and have simply latched onto the closest similar thing with both spastic, fannish hands. Hmm.

EDIT: This is where my Red Sox-loving brother and grandfather would make snarky comments about stupid Yankees fans.

Honestly? What makes DH such a captivating entity is that I HATE most of the characters on there, yet I find it to be an entertaining show and I want to keep watching each week. I'd say Lost is far more overrated at this point.

I think the difference between DH and Lost with me at this point (and I do still love both shows) is that I like more of the characters on Lost, but I like the plotlines on DH much better.

On the other hand, if VM and AD were getting half of the advertising the other two do, I'd be over the moon, because VM and AD are the better shows, IMO.

*nods* Agreed.

Wow, just wow...it's people like that that make the Yankees fans looks stupid T_T.

I heard about that. I mean HONESTLY WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU TRY ANYTHING LIKE THAT! My god that guy's stupid. "Omg like let's see if I can avoid narrowly breaking every bone in my body by jumping into this net which may or may not break my fall!"

yankees fan and jumping out of the stands

I read that article and my first reaction was what was he thinking.
I mean it's not like the typical stunt you see in the stands during
baseball games where people toss around beach balls.
Jumping out onto the field to test whether a net will hold up.
It ranks right up there with the White Sox fan who interferred with
a potential game winning play during the 2004 playoff games last
year when reaching for a foul ball interferred with the player trying
to field the ball.

The company that fan worked for had to relocated him away from
Chicago.

Right now my home town team could something resembling a shot
in the arm so they could start winning a few more ballgames.
But that's beside the point, isn't it?

Anyway, again on that fan jumping out to the field,
What was he thinking?

Take care, Karrenia

It was a Cubs game and to be fair, he wasn't the only one who reached out, he happened to be the one who touched the ball. It was instinct, who knew he would fluster the stupid Cubs. They should have shaken it off.

I'm a Chicagoan, btw, but not much of a baseball fan.

The incident with the net? Stupid, I mean come on... that was a 40 foot drop, equal to a 4-story building. Wonder what his blood alcohol level was.

Thanks for the correction, I knew it was one of the two
Chicago teams I just couldn't recall off hand which one.
Hmm, maybe it flustered the Cubs because pro baseball players are
'superstitious'? Not likely, but it's a remote possibility.

Well go with the blood alochol theory of the guy with the net.
It might explain a lot of things. I wonder what he's thinking now when he's laid up in the hospital.

Take care, Karrenia

I'm disappointed that NCIS isn't getting any awards. I mean, Mark Harmon... Michael Weatherly, what's not to love?

So which is the more self-destructive act: jumping off the upper deck at Yankee Stadium, or pouring beer on the clinically insane Gary Sheffield? Sadly, it's a closer call than it should be.

Maybe they should electrify that net.

Question - you've tried Smirnoff Triple Black, right? What does it taste like? I was gonna get it in the liquor store yesterday, but I was afraid I wouldn't like it, so I stuck with the Smirnoff Ice :)

Makes me wonder what would happen if Paris Hilton -was- one of the Lost survivors.

"This is like, so not cool! My cellphone doesn't work!"
"Woman, give me that cellphone, I need to make a device to help rescue us!"
"Omg" (yes, she would say o m g) "The Middle Eastern man is trying to sex me!" Then she runs away, falls off a cliff and is eaten by the tunnel monster.
