First off, big thanks to Sars
for making Bad Tiki her site of the week. I’m working
on getting smaller versions of My Sperm done so people
can actually watch it. Also, judging by my statistics page, September
17 saw a large increase in the amount of traffic from Singapore.
I have no idea why, but welcome to the Singaporians. Singaporese?
Singapori? Well, welcome anyway.
I don’t
know from fashion. Every pair of pants in my closet is beige (except
for my suit pants, which are a slightly darker brown). I wear
blue dress shirts to work virtually every day (although there
is an off-white one thrown in the mix) and on the weekends my
only choice is between the gray t-shirt or the white t-shirt.
Yes, I haven’t had a decent date in years and I can barely
dress myself. I’m still gay. I swear.
My lack
of fashion knowledge really throws a wrench in my snarkiness when
it comes to watching awards shows. Sure, sometimes the fine people
on cable television will throw me a bone by mentioning “News
Chopper E!” or confusing Dulé Hill for Juliet Mills
(Joan, Joan, Joan). But, most of the time, I’m bereft of
anything too amusing to say. And it bothers me.
Not only
am I gay man, I also have a degree in theatre. I should be able
to identify an empire waist or tulle on sight. Instead, I fall
back on the Mr. Burns technique. I know what I hate. But, for
my own edification and because it’s slightly more interesting
than Skittles, I am going to discuss the Emmy’s by asking
a few questions and issuing a few edicts. (Thanks to Eric
for watching with, and being extremely catty with, me.)
Bernie Mac? Why were you
wearing a suit made of floor mats? Aside from the sartorial hideousness,
didn’t you realize that L.A. is, you know, hot and perhaps
wrapping oneself in black rubber was not a smart choice. Also,
Bernie, you know I love you, but if you’re going to sport
the fro, at least make it even on both sides. The right side of
your head was bordering on a hair-goiter.
Janel
Maloney, I hated your dress, but I understand why you wore
it. You’re Janel Maloney, always in Janney’s shadow,
and now we’re talking about you. You get a pass. Also, I
like you.
Jennifer
Garner and Scott Foley
are, separately, lovely people. Together, they are too pretty
to live.
Um, Keifer,
would you mind coming over to my house and massaging my feet while
I watch Buffy tonight? Really?
Thanks.
Actually,
Bradley Whitford, could you
rub my shoulders at the same time? Great. Jane who?
Oprah,
for God sakes, we didn’t elect you Jesus. Yes, you do good
work and you’re a successful black woman. Yay you. We want
more Keifer.
Mr.
Pitt? Unless you dropped out of The
Fountain to play the Shaun Cassidy role in a Hardy
Boys movie, cut your damn hair. Seriously, the beard beads
were better.
Doris
Roberts, you’re old and you win things. We. Get.
It. But thanks for not telling me about the damned memoribilia
room in your house. Does ET
or Extra visit you once a
week now?
Peter
Krause? Keifer’s arms are tired, please take over.
Keifer, I didn’t say you could leave.
I’m
sorry, and I know it’s getting tired, but Ozzy
Osbourne cracks my shit up. Kelly, however, needs to step
away from the crazy pink-haired lady who dressed her. (Have you
seen the crazy pink-haired lady? She’s sixty. With pink
hair. And British. For some reason that makes it so much worse.)
Paula,
Paula, Paula. There are no words. When are you going away again?
Those ten years there were GREAT!
Kim
Catrall, you’re a whore AND play one on TV. Great.
Why were you wearing a large pleated dinner-napkin?
I never
thought I’d say this but, Rachel Griffiths,
you look beautiful.
And a
special note to the ad buyers over on E!: I now have this fear
that I may have a yeast infection since that chick was talking
about hers in every single commercial break. Then Bobby Trendy
would pop up and he is a yeast infection. Just show that Jackie
Zeman, “Earn your degree at home” ad like a respectable
basic cable station.
Finally,
Conan. I love you. Why don’t you sit in that chair
and tell jokes while Keifer, Bradley and Brian do their things.
Thanks. Oh, sssh, Buffy’s
on.
I really
should also talk about the American
Idol Vegas concert, but quite frankly I’m still trembling
from the experience. Especially since I’m seeing them live
in two weeks. Yep, that’s right, I’m going to the
American Idol concert.
And Jim will be there. I’m very, very frightened. Hold me.
