Grab Bag

When you lose something, I wish there was a way of knowing if it was lost forever or whether it would eventually turn up. For instance, if a voice could boom down that you threw that sweater in the Goodwill pile, or you lost your earring outside a building five days ago and that you should stop looking for it, that would be wonderful. I really shouldn't be complaining because the item that was making me think this (a missing restaurant card that was given to me as a gift) finally surrendered after a five day hunt. It also made me think that the next time I lose something, I should check under my car seats first.

Is it wrong that every time I see the Duggar family (of the reality show "However the hell many kids we have now and counting"), I think of this song? Even more, I think of the scene directly preceding it where Eric Idle (as the mother, of course) is washing the dishes and the baby just falls out of him onto the floor. Maybe I'm already going to hell for not feeling that every sperm is sacred, but I'm sure this doesn't help matters.

Things I Saw On My Walk to Work Today:
1. A banana peel which I did not slip on, but almost wanted to just for the story.
2. A pair of underwear. The tight white variety, just chilling on the sidewalk like it's always been there. Looking at me like, "Hello, how you doing, lovely weather we're having"
3. A metal fork. No signs of food, spoons, knives or other cutlery.
4. A sign for "Smedley Chevrolet," which is a fun sounding word.
5. A condom wrapper, which was nowhere near the pair of underwear, which means that the people travelled down the road to actually have sex, or there were at least three naked people on the street.
6. A left shoe and a right shoe that did not match each other, were sitting next to each other and both appeared to be men's shoes.

A Few Comments on the Emmys:
- I was a little underwhelmed, though I don't know if I blame NPH for this so much as the writing.
- There needs to be a five year long ban on playing or singing "I Will Remember You". I like seeing the people the acting world lost over the last year, but I don't think someone should be singing live next to them (and especially when they're singing that song). I liked how the audience seemed a little awkward when she finished - Should we clap, should we not clap, will the dead actors be pissed if we clap, what if Sarah McLachlan beats us up for not clapping later?
- Jon Cryer winning over NPH (and several others in that category) really bothered me. Two and a Half Men is not funny. Stop trying to make fetch happen
- I was very excited that the Craig Ferguson puppets made an appearance in the variety montage. I love the shark puppet so much.
- I just cannot get into 30 Rock. I've really tried, but it's just not happening. Plus it really bothers me that the show within the show is named "The Girlie Show". It just makes me queasy for some weird reason.
- I've had "Mother Lover" in my head ever since the broadcast.
