dianora2OMG I AM SO EXHAUSTED. I have spent all week cleaning and preparing for guests this weekend, and I am beat. The really sad thing is, said guests will still be appalled at the state of my living arrangements. Oh well. I tried. I miss having a cleaning service like I did in Jersey City, I'm just not sure I can justify hiring someone for my small one-bedroom apartment. *ponders*
Anyway. The West Wing cast on Ellen was so delightful I could hardly stand it. What an incredible group of people. I even like Mary McCormack when she is not Kate. And Josh Malina seriously needs to be on Studio 60 because he and Brad are so cute together that it is ridiculous. I loved that their words for each other were "untalented" and "unemployed." The cake in the face was the highlight of the show. The other highlight for me was the clip of Allison impersonating Ellen, which I had never seen before. Funniest thing ever. (That and the president's balls.) And Brad cracks me up because he is so fidgety. And the spontaneous standing o from the audience at the end? I seriously almost cried. What a great moment. Oh, and when Janel was imitating that fifteen-year old (which was hilarious), I kind of had a "there but for the grace of God go I" kind of moment. Hee. As for the kiss from "The Cold" without the music? Love it. What I love is how that's how it really happened, for the characters -- it's not like they had a soundtrack. It changes the tenor of it so much, makes it softer, more intimate. Gah, loved it. Honestly? I would take that over a clip show anyday. So that's some consolation, at least.
As a heads-up, Brad and Janel are on the cover of Backstage magazine. Yes, an actual PROMO SHOT of Brad and Janel TOGETHER. Which never happens. I'm so excited. Will try to find a copy tomorrow.
More press: David Hinckley of the NY Daily News does a nice retrospective. This article has some quotes I hadn't seen before. The Buffalo News singles out Josh/Brad and has some great Brad quotes. Also significant for Larry O'Donnell being even more of a fuckhead than usual.
What else? I still haven't watched ANTM. Survivor was lame. My Name Is Earl was not its best episode -- super-sizing doesn't wear well, I'm thinking. Anna Devane on GH tomorrow, whee.
I hope everyone saw the excellent USA Today article about how the NSA is monitoring tens of millions of people's phone calls with the cooperation of the telecoms. Well, whoever is eavesdropping on my conversations with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
oeilade must at least be getting a good laugh, because we are a comedy team extraordinaire. Meanwhile, The government has abruptly ended an inquiry into the warrantless eavesdropping program because the National Security Agency refused to grant Justice Department lawyers the necessary security clearance to probe the matter. Well, that's one way to cover your tracks.
In even more important news, They shut down the booth babes at E3!
