What a crazy weekend, 6 months with Grant and the Emmy's Bonanza. w00t.

This is slightly different from my usual posts, but dammit, this IS my blog. The past few weeks have been crazy-hectic, but crazy-good. This weekend, in particular, was nuts.

On Saturday, Grant and I officially celebrated our six month anniversary. Six months! I try not to write too much about my personal personal life here, but I'm making an exception because I am just so freaking in love. I have never been in a better relationship, nor a more wonderful person.

We started to kind of have feelings for each other at SXSW, but we didn't act on it until after we got home -- you know, wanting to make sure it was for real. It is for real. I am infinitely grateful to have him in my life.

2008 Emmy's

Tonight, starting at 6 PM EDT, I'll be one of the StyleListers liveblogging the Emmy's pre-show for the new StyleList Blog (nee StyleDash). Tune in if you want to see, intelligent, funny and sassy coverage of what everyone is wearing.

For the last few years, I've liveblogged the Emmy's at my old journal. Last year, I actually didn't do it -- because I was watching with someone else, but I tried to post about it using some of the Mac programs (it was how I first tried MarsEdit, though I have to be honest, ME is MUCH better at WordPress and other blogging engine than LiveJournal, at least when compared to the Windows standard, Semagic), and got just too frustrated.

I suppose you could say the Emmy's was one of the final catalysts for me to start my actual website after years of just putting it aside. After doing work for other people, it is still insane that it took me so long to get my own public public outer-image intact.

Anyhoo, I'm uber-excited about both joining my other SLers to discuss the fashion at the Emmy's. And I might pick up the actual show on this blog, depending on my stamina. I'll say it right now, if the fucking Amazing Race wins best Reality Show again, I'll go apeshit. Like, four years ago, back in the era of Colin and Christy (best race team EVER), fine, it made sense. But when you compare TAR against "Project Runway" and "So You Think You Can Dance" -- shit, even "Top Chef" -- it is just nuts. That PR didn't win was totally unfair. And that Cat Deeley didn't get a nod for Best Reality Host and SYTYCD didn't get a nom for best reality show was the snub of the year. There, I said it. Heidi Klum or bust.

As for the real awards, I'm actually quite happy with most of the big award categories. I think "30 Rock" and "Mad Men" will probably win their respective categories. I'd prefer "Dexter" to win over the AMC thing, but I know where this is going and am OK with it. I mean, as long as "Two and a Half Men" loses, I'm happy.

John Adams will sweep the miniseries awards, just like it did at the Creative Emmy's -- but that is far from surprising. It is this year's big HBO production. If it didn't sweep that would be the travesty.

Part of me would like to see Christina Appelgate win just because I'm a sucker for a cancer story, especially when it happens to someone as genuinely funny and seemingly nice as Applegate. Kelly Bundy FTW. Though I think Tina Fey or Julia will take it. I'm actually fine with any of the lead actress nominees. The fact that Amy Poehler got a nod for SNL, for Best Supporting Actress comedy is pretty huge too. Like, whoa, what?

Anyhoo, I'm out for now.
