Okay...so I'm one of those freaks who actually enjoy watching awards shows...Emmys, Oscars, and especially the Tonys. I usually don't watch most of the nominated television shows or movies...but I always like seeing the winners' reactions...especially in the case of an upset. Usually it's hit or miss when the host starts off the show. I'm not really a Conan O'Brien fan, but I gotta say...I loved the skit in the beginning. It doesn't hurt to put the Lost character of Hurley in there for comic relief. I was also extremely excited to see a show tune performed in the beginning. Granted, they took some rather funny liberties with Meredith Wilson's lyrics...but Conan got millions of people tuned in to see a parody of The Music Man's "Trouble". Good job, Mr. O'Brien. Let's hope you started an Emmy trend. ;)
My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas. Way back in elementary school...that's how I learned the planets of the solar system. Starting from the sun, you get...Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Now...thanks to Michael Brown and his discovery of dwarf planet, Xena (which happens to be bigger than Pluto)...the International Astronomical Union has decided to demote the ninth planet. So I guess it's back to the drawing board when it comes to cute little ways to remember the planets. My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nectarines? Well...at least that sounds a bit healthier!
