Day 46: Crap, I missed the Emmys.

They're like crack to me, and I just forgot about them!! The Emmys, the Golden Globes and the Superbowl of awards shows, the Oscars...three of my favorite nights of the year. I mean, I take off the day after the Oscars so I can watch the entire thing and not worry about getting to bed! The Emmys are like a treat too, because just as you're jonesing for an awards show, and realize the Globes aren't til January, here's the Emmys! I love the escape into Hollywood, fantasizing that I'm on the red carpet too, mingling amid the glitz and glamour, wearing designer gowns and doing the over the shoulder pose. Diamonds and crystals and heels and hair, it's a girl's dream. Not to mention, I revolve a good portion of my lonely life around television, so to see my favorite shows get honored makes me, in a strange and maybe teensy sad way, proud I'm a viewer. Nerdy, I know, but isn't that what television is? Or movies for that matter? A chance to immerse yourself in someone else's life, their problems and mistakes, vacations and relationships, to take your mind off your own for awhile. Anyway, it may seem a bit lame to get so excited for an awards show, but the excitement of the night is catching and I enjoy it all. Which makes it all the more disappointing I got busy and forgot about it completely. Although, I missed them because I had plans with some lovely ladies, so it's not all bad. :)
