Horror Terror Horror Terror Nightmare Horror Fear

I didn't realise Tracey Ullman is back on TV (well cable); and still in very fine form.

The title will make sense when you get to the last 20 seconds of the clip.



America is such a unique society of extreme oxymorons. Consider: President Bush; God fearing country with a propensity for war; democratic state that supports the PATRIOT Act; Las Vegas wedding; Jerry Springer the opera (though technically not American); American healthcare.

And one for Channel 9 Current Affairs tomorrow: no such thing as healthy fast food.

Tina Fey (30) Rocks It Again!

Tina Fey and her gem of a show 30 Rock, repeated her Emmy winning ways at the 2009 Golden Globes.

Admittedly I haven't enjoyed Season 3 as much I have the previous 2 seasons. Nevertheless, some of the material that comes out of that half hour show is serious laugh-out-loud material. Some notable quotes so far:


Gavin Volure: And the arts. I’m glad Jack was able to bring you, Liz. I asked him about you after I saw your photo in the style section of the New York Times.
Liz: Funny story. I only wore that because the fire alarm went off when I was getting a hair cut.

***
Kenneth: I don’t believe in hypothetical situations, Mr. Donaghy. That’s like lying to your brain.

***
Liz (to Oprah): I saw the show about following fear and it inspired me to wear shorts to work. It didn’t go great.

***
Jack: This is GE!
Devon: It’s just G now, Jack. I sold the E. To Samsung. They’re Samesung now. I was supposed to be at a board meeting 5 hours ago. Which ways Connecticut?

Love Tina Fey and 30 Rock

30 Rock and Tina Fey - just about the 2 best things on TV these days - walked away with 4 Emmys. one for Alec Baldwin, two for Tina Fey and one for the best comedy series. Well deserved!



I have never not been able to contain my laughter in a public arena (e.g. train, plane) ... that's until 30 Rock came along.

And in true comedian self deprecating style, Tina Fey says in her acceptance speech:

"I thank my parents for somehow raising me to have confidence that is disproportionate with my looks and abilities. Well done. That is what all parents should do"".

Now for the rest of the world to catch on to the brilliantness that is 30 Rock (it is still struggling for viewers). Season 3 begins 30 October 2008.

OTH Night

Temporary Japan hiatus.

Tonight is over-excited fangirl SQUEE night aka One Tree Hill night.

There you have it. My dirty little secret is out.

Squee ...

A couple of photos taken at Inari Shrine in Kyoto to amuse you in the interim.
