At least HBO takes all the good awards and PBS and Bravo steal most of the reality show nods.

Highlights:
Deadwood gets 11 nominations
Drea de Matteo (Adriana) got her first (and last) nomination for the Sopranos ...

But the best is the Tonight show, which received LESS nominations than the Chappell Show.
AND it had no nominations in either best variety show or best writing, while CBS's "Late Show With David Letterman," NBC's "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" and Comedy Central's "Daily Show With Jon Stewart," were all nominated.
Stupid Leno. Your show SUCKS.

God I hate waiting.

Albany Dan sent this today:

For a vivid example of irony republican-style, read (Paul Krugman’s column) down to Michael Fleischer’s quote:

Mr. Fleischer told The Chicago Tribune that part of his job was educating Iraqi businessmen:

“The only paradigm they know is cronyism. We are teaching them that there is an alternative system with built-in checks and built-in review.”

Is he kidding?

I read this article this morning on Drudge, and I am somewhat outraged by it.

How can he legitimately make the claim that Kerry's position on abortion in 1972, a year before Roe v. Wade came down, is even remotely representative of his position now? The fact that a young catholic democrat opposed addressing abortion in favor of other issues, which remain highly important even today, when abortion was still opposed by a majority of people and addressed by even fewer is simply unimportant today. This is one issue, of many I am sure, that a person has the right to change their position on as times and society change. I think it is absurd that Drudge is trying to make an issue out of the fact that in 1972 Kerry may not have wanted to address abortion as a national issue.

It’s not often that I’m proud of my home town, but somebody in Buffalo came up with the idea to hold the first annual World Fruitcake Eating Championship, in Ellicott Square. If that sounds bizarre enough, consider that the city of Buffalo launched a Fruitcake Amnesty Campaign in order to stock up on enough of the stuff for the Dec 30 contest.

So, who won? A rail-thin 105-pound Virginian woman named Sonya Thomas (her picture is above) ate ¼-pound more than 405-pound Eric “Badlands” Booker of Long Island. Unbelievable.

And if this sounds like a pathetic attention-getting ploy, remember… it’s for a good cause:

The Food Bank of Western New York – which services more than 100,000 needy people per month through 500 local food organizations – will collect donated food for the needy during this holiday season. The Food Bank has seen hunger demand increase by a shocking 23 percent this year.

I know it's been ages since I've posted. I think it was before July, which means I've been rescued by firemen, moved unexpectedly, started grad school and brought home a stray cat since we've last spoken.

But even more exciting that all of that is THANKSGIVING! Or, more specifically my thanksgiving, which I'm cooking. That's right, Mom, Sis, Mom's boyfriend and Ned are all going to enjoy some tasty home cooking tomorrow.

Except that it almost went completely awry - Lucy style. Yesterday, I was just finishing up the cranberry sauce when I realized that it was suspiciously quiet in my kitchen. The evil silence was due to the fact that my refrigerator had decided to accept a timely and very early death. Early since the fridge that was here when we moved in blew out two weeks into September. So this little baby was only two months old! But seriously, what the f*ck?! Is this the Christmas Story or something? Am I supposed to take the family to the local Chinese restaurant for dinner?

Well, it's all fixed. A nice man came and fixed it for me - and it only cost a day of work and a serious amount of unnecessary stress. No food was lost the the episode since I have such nice neighbors with extra fridge space.

So, with that story out of the way -- here's a list of all the things we're making for the big day. It makes me hungry just thinking about it...

* Turkey a la Martha
* Basic Stuffing (cooked in the bird per Ned's request)
* Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
* Steamed Green Beans and Pine Nuts
* Homemade Cranberry Sauce
* Corn Muffins
* Apple Pie
* Sweet Potato (actually it's squash. I've been informed that Sweet Potatoes only grow in the Carribean) Pie, both with homemade whipped cream

I also made two loaves of Pumpkin Bread for breakfast...now the only surprise is Ned's appetizer. You still making something Ned??

Anyone home for Thanksgiving? Kaleb and I will be up from late Wednesday night thru Sunday evening. Let me know if you'll be around

Julia visited this past weekend... it was nice to hang with her again. Next time we'll have to actually get drunk when we go out drinking.

I'm getting lame in my old age.

I am no advocate of the credibility of MTV, or of the fairness of the Awards programs that it produces. But in the wake of Johnny Cash's death, I just want to ask, how did this video lose?

Design your own hell!

i just notices evilmonkey's quote "I think ugly lead singers should be illegal. It's like false advertising." false advertising is when bald people wear hats, and stupid people quote literature when competing in the pickup pool.

A quick post about a fire we had in our apartment building Friday. Check my site for more details and pictures in the near future. (We're all okay, and we have a place to stay-- so don't worry!)

i just came home from Amsterdam a few days ago. I am still recovering. I did a few wholesome things like the Van Gogh Museum, the Anne Frank House, and I took a canal cruise. Aside from that it was all debauchery(?) and the rest of the time I spent shopping. Well I even can't really count the Anne frank museum as wholesome because there was this hot hot hot 18 year old (i hope, probably more like 17) from eastern europe somewhere that I couldn't stop staring at. it was like getting turned on in church. i felt so guilty. And i enjoyed the coffee shops, the red light district, the many fabulous flaming bars and sex clubs and saunas. yada, yada, yada, I'm really tired.

someone tell me that this isn't real. he has full grown flies coming out of his penis.

well, i managed to get back in to Suckahs. i still think there is a conspiracy against me.

anyway. my life sucks right now. the bar exam is in 5 days (5 days?!?) and all i do is study. i am so fucking sick of studying. all i want to do is go outside for a walk. nope. i can't. i have to sit in here and review 2 more fucking subjects of florida law today.

if i ever have to do this again i will just cry.

hello. i am in buffalo right now. this weekend i am in the studio recording my brother's band, but after that i am free all week. is anybody else home right now? other exciting news.... next week i am going to amsterdam by myself for 5 days! any travel tips?

Suckahs members,

I wanted to take a minute to explain what's been happening to suckahs.org lately -- specifically related to the server troubles, errors, and general problems.

Suckahs uses Moveable Type to publish 7 blogs. The data is all stored in a database on the server, which has been straining to keep up with posting, rebuilds, and comments. This blog alone has over 550 entries, and over 1700 comments. My Blog is also very large. Quite a lot to manage.

But manage, we will.

I may choose to upgrade our hosting package in the near term-- to get us some more power, and additional disk space. Ben and Mina (the moveable type folks) have some cool features on the way -- including an easy photo album tool.

I want to ask you to report to me any problems you may have using the site-- including posting, commenting, rebuilding, etc. So we can determine what the future of Suckahs should be. Also, we may be able to add individual blogs to those who want them.

Now, back to the show...

Boing Boing posted this humorous Google joke:

Go to google.com, type in "Weapons of Mass Destruction," and hit the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button for a good laff.

I was browsing some Boston-area blogs, and saw this image on I feel Happy. I think the only thing that kept me from panhandling in the past 2 years is having sympathetic parents and an $8,000 credit line.

But, the good news is that I will be debt-free by mid-July! And, though I haven't got a guaranteed job, it's should go through November, at least, and it pays well enough.

But, my boss just announced he's leaving the company.... so, stay tuned...

So the question is - does a man like this go to heaven? If so, I'll pass.

Ok, it's really slow at work today so I'm going to do another one.

If pinned under debris, wave your light saber around until the crumbled building has disintegrated.

As many of you have noticed, the extremely helpful and never manipulative Department of Homeland Security has started a campaign to help us prepare for and fight against those evil terrorists.

Apparently some people are making up their own captions to the illustrations. After a few chuckles I thought to myself: we can definitely do better.

So here's my first entry and I encourage all of you to take a whirl:

Terrorists are ass-loving midgets. If you notice a midget is admiring your ass immediately assume the fetal position, cover your eyes and cry like an infant until the proper authorities arrive.

Tweeter Center, August 13th...Who's in?

I just want to say that I've officially applied to Business School!

All essay are written, all supplemental materials are in. Special thanks to Albany Dan for proofing my shit and telling me what's what.

God Bless America!

so i got my first suckahs related e-mail from a non-suckah. let me just say that i am not at all happy about this.

when did suckahs go public?

"I love the name sarah and wonder whos in boston to meet a great handsome NORMAL guy.

Kisses

Rob "

That's it, really.

The great thing about spring here is that the Crazy Lady of State Street (who actually lives on Spring street) comes back out.

I swear to God, she really exists, and this is all true. She's about 50 years old, has gray hair down to the middle of her back, and sometimes walks around in her slippers. She stops total strangers and starts conversations with them, but they start somewhere in the middle.

The last time I saw her, we were both walking down Willett, on opposite sides of the street. There is absolutely no way she recognized me, but she looked over and said, "Charter One bank is having a big, free party next weekend. You should come!"

I said OK.

She said, "What should I tell them you want to eat?"

I kept walking.

This morning, I was walking to work down Spring street, and she was letting herself into her building across the street. She yelled, "Good morning!"

I looked around, realized she was talking to me, and said, "Uh, mornin'."

"Here's a piece of trivia for you. Do you know who invented diabetes?"

"No."

She paused for a half-second like she was trying to remember, but it finally came to her. "Mary Tyler Moore, from Hollywood."

I said, "Great, thanks," and, as usual, just kept walking.

so how did people spend their monday? right now i'm at work, but i was at a party earlier today. it was pretty bizzare. i felt kind of like i was walking into a porno movie. the party was at my friends house up in the hills. There was a DJ on the tennis court, bars all around the pool, and about 200 guys with no shirts on. i think maybe there was a couple girls there too, but i'm not sure. It was pretty fun. I couldn't stay that long because i had to go to work but i did go swimming. don't worry, i wore a bathing suit... an actual babthing suit and not speedos too! unlike some of the other guests. now it's 1230am and i'm leaving work so i guess it's not memorial day anymore. ps. i'm kind of just riffing because there aren't new posts that often.

sorry ned, but is anybody else as bored as I am with the new Blur record?

well my left hand is ok.. a bit cramped but, just kidding. I went to this concert at the Rose Bowl on saturday called wango tango. it was a radio station concert type thing, so there was like 20 bands. it was really fun. I went with this girl named Lucy Woodward who I worked with last summer. She's a singer on Atlantic records, so we had awesome seats. She had a pretty popular song a few months ago called "Dumb Girls". but the radio stations that played it are probably not on any suckahs' presets on their radio. I saw Sugar Ray, Michelle Branch, Craig David, Santana, Christina Aguilara, Nelly, Kiss, and probably a few others. And since we had backstage passes, and Lucy used to know him, we were talking to Joey McIntyre for a bit. On sunday I saw Michelle Branch at the Roxy, which is a small little club. It was a very cool show. It was great to hear the songs that we recorded in the studio played live. and i played beach volleyball on sunday too. So i guess i had a fun weekend, but i didn't get any. :(
