Bronco's Win, House wins an Emmy, rambles
Now Playing: Patricia Kaas - Piano Bar
Flipping the channels between the football game and the Emmy awards. Sorta watching on the Emmy thing to see how various shows I like are doing. I love watching House and it did win an award but Hugh Laurie lost the best actor award to James Spader. Ah well, I like Spader too. 24 lost to Lost. Never watched Lost, never watched 24 until this last season. Show was actually really good, either that or my tolerance level on stuff that is unbelievable is going down. The ending where the missile did not hit anyone was so very lame and unworthy of all of that build up and tension. As I think about it again, Gilmore Girls did not receive any nominations which makes the quality control over there very suspect. But likes and dislikes are very subjective so who knows. I know anytime someone puts a top ten or top hundred best 'this or that' up I try not to look or think about it since I always find those to be incomplete, ignorant, political and unworthy of notice. Bah. And annoying. But then I'll go and peak at the list. Like the most beautiful people list. I don't even know who they put on their lists but if I go to the front of such a list and it claims to be the all time beautiful women and if Sophia Loren isn't there then it's obviously a defective list created by idiot brain donors from the planet dumbshit. You know, we all have our own lists.
Anyways, it's always good to see Shatner win an award and he did win another Emmy. Good for him. It was sad to see the listing of all the entertainment people who have died in the last year. From James Doohan to Frank Gorshan to Bob Denver and the guy the was Ernest T. Bass from the Andy Griffith Show. One of those things I avoid at the end of the year when they do the big list of people who had died in the last year. Always very depressing. And all through the Emmy stuff I was flipping over to the football game. Raiders and Chiefs, playing close and beating the heck out of each other. Always the best idea when you are a Bronco fan. What with Chiefs and Raiders being division rivals and all. And speaking of the Bronco's - the did come back for the win against the Chargers this afternoon. Very good stuff. Very nerve wracking to listen to on a sometimes spotty Internet connection to KOA radio. And thank goodness the KOA feed is still working through the games so far. Can't help it. A Bronco fan forever apparently. Got my John Elway figurine, my icon of good character and determination. It's just there waiting for the Lance Armstrong character figurine/statute to come out.
Thinking about trying to learn to play the Guitar. Wonder if my fingers can learn new things or not. Me, no musical training whatsoever. Ah but you know, anything can be done if even time and effort is put into it. Perhaps. Still thinking. Course, the guitar would have to be black. Everything has to be black. One thing I've noticed as I've thought about it and looked around the internet, there is quite a bit of instruction to be found on the internet. So, it would be hard to get stuck and without guidance. Something to continue to think about.
