<p>CHECK IT OUT!!!!!! It'll also be on Mon on HBO2 and Tue and Wed on HBO. CHECK IT OUT!!!!!!</p>

<p>I've muddled the audio category around a bit, so just go to the <a href="/coppermine/">Image Gallery</a> for now. I've added a second audio bit, so hunt around and you'll find it. </p>

<p>Don't worry, I'm still fixing the gallery, so if you hate the presentation, just hold on. Also, check out some of what's going on in the forum, where apparently it's a place for my siblings to hang out and chat since for the first time since we've existed not one of us lives with another. </p>

<p>I meant to write about the Giants great victory and the Emmys as well, but I once again procrastinated and now need to sleep. Maybe tomorrow.</p>

i recorded the emmys and i watched about 5 minutes and decided a newspaper wrap up in the morning would be a better use of my time. but luckily i turned on the tv for something else just as jon stewart came out, and saw the george washington mudslinging skit, which i enjoyed.

ps - i couldn't stop laughing at the daily show when colbert was doing a report on gun control and slowly puts on the protective ear and eyewear, then shouts "JON!". It was one of those "you had to be there" kinda things, but since you're tivo chris, i know you were.
Chris
Yes. Yes I was there.

Because I am Tivo Chris, I watched the Emmys about an hour and a half after they started, allowing Amber and I to watch it without commercials or any of the tedium. It made it much, much more tolerable.

By the way, how awesome was it for Garry Shandling to bring out two contest winners to present the Best Reality Show award? It was so random and pointless, yet cool that it managed to capture everything that is good and evil with reality television.

I simultaneously was filled with "Cool!" and "Why?". Perfect.

I debated about doing the Tivo mode of watching the Emmys. Turns out I just didnt care enough. It was a Starz free movie weekend on the good ol satellite, so i had the tivo cranking out such gems as Pirates de la Caribean (Allison can pronounce this), and All I Want staring allisons best friend Frodo. Frodo's film amounted to a big pile of suck. The description sounded good so I kept waiting for it to match the decription. That day never came. It lacked some testicular fortitude.


Happy 21st Birthday to the Boy. Congrats Brendan, now you can buy girlie drinks all by yourself. Just don't be a girlie drink drunk.
Chris
Wait a second. It was a Starz free weekend and I wasn't told? How did you find out? Weasel!
dd
i was just as surprised as you. Dad was the one who told me. I got "25th hour". That was about all you missed. I recorded some chick fliks like the Frodo one.

I think dad saw it was a starz weekend on a commercial. He's crazy and actually watches them.
