i’ve been waiting for this! Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, originally uploaded by jenn hsu.
I don’t know Tina Fey personally, but she grew up a stone’s throw away from Media, in Upper Darby, in the same county. How awesome is it to see a talented person win 3 Emmys (I think I got that correct) from this area? Alec Baldwin won for 30 Rock himself. A week or so ago, a ‘best of’ episode show had when he was role playing as Tracy Morgan’s parents during a meeting with a psychologist. It’s one of the best scenes ever——>see vod pod!!
So I did watch the Emmys. I missed all the pre-shows as I decided playing around with paper crafts was more relaxing to me. The show had a rough start where the five nominated hosts for reality shows didn’t know what to talk about. That’s pretty lame. They wasted time and first winner Jeremy Piven gave them a dig about that.
The funniest moment-when Steven Colbert came out eating prunes with co-presenter Jon Stewart (they both won) and of course he was comparing prunes to a certain presidential candidate.
And I enjoyed a skit when some of the cast of ‘Laugh In’ did a bit announcing nominees through the old psychedelic doors as their most famous characters (yeah, I’m aging myself, but I was under 10 when this show was on) . Lily Tomlin, Joann Worley and Ruth Buzzi were perfect. The announcer-Gary Owens looked and sounded good, but Alan Sues-he was a little shaky, the poor guy.
And the guy who played Ben Franklin won an Emmy for John Adams, an HBO miniseries I didn’t see. We don’t get channels like that.
What I’ve been doing mostly this weekend is rearranging my 46 photo CDs-yes that is correct. I am going through them for Flickr and uploading ones I couldn’t add when I just had the Yahoo account. Also I’m uploading the highest resolution on ones I had downsized and want to replace as they aren’t clear. I want to rescan some old photos of mine too. When I read on a blog that a lady from Texas lost her wedding photos, well, I didn’t want to ever lose the last 6 yrs of my life. I have tons of film photos. I don’t know if I’ll ever do all of the ones I really love, but I will eventually scan cute baby shots of Sean, etc.
Here’s hoping #4 will be lucky for the guy showing up from Dishnet. We asked that they come in the morning, but they decided to do afternoon.
<<<<<<<<<CLICK for free mammograms! They only have a few days left in their fundraiser and are just over 50%.
How about that, I didn’t know Tina Fey was from Upper Darby!
Hope that Dishnet guy finally shows!
I felt so bad for Alan Sues. No disrespect intended by this, but he really looked like a walking corpse – every time he popped out from behind one of those doors it was like Dracula rising out of his coffin. They should have done better by him.
Okay, Dianne, this confirms it – we’re practically neighbors! As soon as I saw this Tina Fey post I knew you rocked. ;o) I grew up in Upper Darby and Tina Fey is an alumni of my high school (actually, I grew up in Clifton Heights but it’s in UD Township). I used to be a nanny for kids in Media and still reminisce about my Delco days, LOL! We’re in Berks County now. Not too, too far.
Have a great week!
I’ll bet you’d really like the John Adams miniseries. It’s available on DVD. Maybe you’ll have time to give it a try once the weather turns and you’ve put your garden to bed?
