Night

[tarotgal]

Sad night. I got no sleep, then an emotional phone call from best friend. Seems I'm a horrible friend. Yay. I needed that tonight. Of course I love her for calling and telling me because I need to know when I'm horrible... my life just isn't so stable right now... I've got a ton of work to do for tomorrow and now I can't open my eyes for the pain of lots of crying. Oh yay.

Let's see...
Dat Phan won on Last Comic standing. Which is fantastic because I voted for him :-) I was really hoping he'd win, though I loved Rich Voss, too. Looking forward to seeing more of Dat, though!

Tuesdays have become my Bravo nights... Queer Eye and Boy Meets Boy... I'm taping and will watch a little later tonight when I can open my eyes better.

*sigh* Had a nice dinner with boyfriend, though. And meetings today weren't too bad. I just have to work my ass off this week is all. And now I'm not in the mood to do anything. Ow... wish I had eyedrops... actually, no, I'm too scared about putting things in my eyes, they wouldn't help even if I had 'em. LOL!

i wish i had cable so i could watch yummy shows about gay men.

oh! i called my local newspaper vox populi and said, "Someone needs to hit President Bush upside the head and tell him he can't pass a law based on Christian fundamentals."


yay!

A humongous thanks to you. Really. Thanks so very much. :-)

Here's hoping sooner than later there will be more nice shows about gay men on network television for everyone to enjoy! I don't get any reception where I live without cable. So it's either cable ot nothing. And while I went without it for 4 months when I was poor, I'm much happier with it now. I wouldn't mind just having basic cable cost-wise, but where I live it's not an option. So oh well. I'm stuck with shows about gay guys. Darn. heehee

And GOOD FOR YOU! *applauds loudly* Just because it's a prominant religion in this country doesn't mean that that church and state separation should be forgotten. When laws are based on morals which are based on religion without logic and emotion I start to really worry.

Absolutely!! I agree wholeheartedly that the ideology of any branch of a religious organization should NOT be what we base out state laws upon! In this country, we each have the right to worship as we wish and that fundamental right - which this nation was literally born for! - would be ripped away from all of us if a few of us got to put our own religious views into national law. Bush has been a scary president all along, what with his desire not to just bully but destroy other parts of the world - and he just gets scarier. The very idea of legislating our personal and individual relationships is grossly wrong - although it doesn't surprise me that this incredibly arrogant man would try something like this. We should all stand up as you did if given the chance!

I was actually kinda bummed. In my opinion Dat did some funny stuff- but seemed like sort of a one trick pony. Obviously though lots of people didn't agree with me. *lol* My personal fav. was Dave Mordell. I Loved the dead-pan, sharp-edge humour. His bit about his car cracked me up to no end. I didn't end up voting at all since Dave didn't make it into the finals. But I loved watching it.

In fact- Last Comic Standing is the Only reality show that my husb. and I have ever watched- and we liked it. Although that was probably due to the fact that we love stand-up. ;) Besides- I'd Sooo much rather hear stand-up comedy than whiny people deciding whether to eat bugs or wallowing in agony at having to choose 1 out of 25 guys/girls. :P *hehehe*

I certainly liked it a lot as a show because they were all in the entertainment business. They made just living together entertaining and funny because of the sorts of people they were. As opposed to completely normal people thrown together and expected to be interesting. They had a fun dynamic.

I really liked Dave & Rich together- the tub scene had me on the FLOOR laughing. I've watched a lot of reality tv (starting with The Real World) that had confessionals and to have one in a bathtub or while ironing is funny, but to have BOTH of them in the bathtub at the same time was pure genius.
I've watched Rich a lot on Collin Quinn and he always makes me laugh.

But I guess I voted for Dat because I really Do laugh at his jokes as much as the others'. The effort he puts into it all really impresses me (the notebook, timing bits, having optional ones, etc). I'm really anal about thing, so I really enjoyed seeing his technique as much as his performance. And he really is coming from a lower level than some of the others, professionally. Which is why I think the win benefited him more than some of the others like Dave or Rich who have already been on tours and on tv, etc. Not that mine was a sympathy vote... he really does crack me up.

I liked seeing him on Leno... a little more variety in his jokes (the ones he told Jay during the interview) and it was interesting to see how he changed his bit a little when performing there-left out a few less tasteful ones, etc. It's interesting to see someone who takes such an art form and makes it into a science, no matter what his approach. I do agree- lots of Asian jokes, not much else. But I still laugh at some of his jokes after seeing them three or four times already. So that's why I voted for him.

Oh yeah... the tub scenes and where they were catching the rat- I was dying!!

I'm really glad to hear that Dat is branching out- he did have some funny stuff. I guess that I'm not really that organized (am getting better as years go by) so all the charts and stuff sort of freaked me out a little (lol) *although they provided lots of funny comments and such *.

Oh... I can't belive that I forgot to sign my screen-name the last time. Sorry.
