Entertainment

A few years ago I was pretty broke and never really went out much because doing so cost a lot of money. While it still does cost money, I have a bit more of it to go around these days and I've found myself spending it on concerts and games and stuff that I've always wanted to do, but never really have. I went to several shows at the music hall this past year. (Mamma Mia, Rent, The Wedding Singer, 12 Angry Men, Avenue Q, and Wicked)

Here are tickets I currently have:




Tomorrow night, Starlight Theater, Kathy Griffin. So excited! Man, I hope she gets nominated for a Grammy next year. I bet she'll be hilarious at the awards ceremony. I don't even care if she doesn't win!

















September 14th, home opener for the Kansas City Chiefs. They're playing the Raiders. I'm so happy football season is back! Rumor has it American Idol David Cook and his brother are singing the National Anthem at this game.



















On November 15th I have tickets for a KU football game. They're playing Texas. Should be way fun, especially considering that the people I'm going with are insane fans. That always makes things better.

















And then, to end the year, I have Madonna concert tickets in Atlantic City on November 22nd. Three of us from Missouri are going and have decided to take off work and take a grand road trip half way across the country. We are planning on making videos in the car. Remy will be coming along.






And, the best news of all - I paid off my credit card this week, so it's not like these events are bringing me down. I still don't have a fence for my back yard, and I'm pilfering parts from my spare toilet, but I think my priorities are pretty spot-on. The next few months are going to be really fun.

Further Proof as to Why You Should be Watching 30 Rock

The Emmy nominations are in. 30 Rock has 18 of them (If you count the online content one). That's the most nominations that ANY comedy has EVER received. Granted, it won't win all 18 of them because they're up against themselves in a few categories. Take a look:

Outstanding Guest Actor In A Comedy Series
	30 Rock • NBC Rip Torn as Don Geiss
	30 Rock • NBC Will Arnett as Devin Banks
	30 Rock • NBC Steve Buscemi as Len
	30 Rock • NBC Tim Conway as Bucky Bright

Outstanding Guest Actress In A Comedy Series
	30 Rock • NBC Carrie Fisher as Rosemary Howard
	30 Rock • NBC Edie Falco as Celeste 'C.C.' Cunningham
	30 Rock • NBC Elaine Stritch as Colleen Donaghy

Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series
	30 Rock • Rosemary's Baby • NBC Jack Burditt, Written By
	30 Rock • Cooter • NBC Tina Fey, Written By

The other guest actor is Shelley Berman as Nat David (Curb Your Enthusiasm).

The other guest actresses are Polly Bergen as Stella Wingfield (Desperate Housewives), Kathryn Joosten as Karen McCluskey (Desperate Housewives), and Sarah Silverman as Marci Maven (Monk). If a 30 Rocker doesn't win, Sarah Silverman should.

The other writing competition is Flight of the Conchords, The Office, and Pushing Daisies.

So... good luck to 30 Rock and Tina Fey. I'll actually have something to cheer for in the comedy categories. I'd like for Rip Torn and Edie Falco to win. Or Will Arnett... he was fabulous, too. And Elaine Stritch is hilarious. I just love this show, okay? But the episode entitled "Cooter" was better than "Rosemary's Baby" (surprise, Fey wrote it), so I hope that's the one that wins.


Kinda still on topic news - Kathy Griffin will be back at the Emmys with her two nominations - one for her Bravo special, Straight to Hell, and another for her reality show, My Life on the D-List. She probably won't win for Straight to Hell because that would deny George Carlin a posthumous Emmy, which he probably would've made fun of during his acceptance speech - much like she did last year.



Maybe Kathy can accept it in his honor. That's okay though, she's got her Emmy. She's focusing on a Grammy next.
