Thank goodness Kathy Griffin is back on the air! I heart My Life on the D-List - and I just live for Thursdays. And I can say - without hurting Kathy’s feelings - that it only has a little to do with the fact that there is NOTHING else on TV these days. First of all, she’s hilarious. Her plaintive attempts at press are so endearing in a ridiculous, real way. You know that lots of other celebrities feel the same way, they just aren’t so honest about it. I also like that she’ll take any job. That’s humility, people.

The speech about Jesus was pretty funny. Inflamatory? Yes. But still funny.

And when she says, “no one had less to do with this award than Jesus,” she may be right :)

Anyway, she’s a crack up. Here’s to you, Kathy! I hope everyone buys your new CD on iTunes and you win a Grammy!!!

Here are some things I’m excited about:

• On TV: Kathy Griffin’s My Life on the D List, Flipping Out, So You Think You Can Dance and all the shows starting in July.
• My new Nikon S550 camera!!!
• My newly organized desk drawer and my new gel roller bic pens.
• My increase in hours for my job.
• The new authors I’ve been enjoying: Sherryl Woods and Robyn Carr. And speaking of books, Jennifer Weiner’s newest book “Certain Girls” - which was AWESOME.
• Finding SuperBuzzy.com, an awesome Japanese fabric shop online.

I think that’s it for now :)

So much has been happening. Obama clinches the nomination, So You Think You Can Dance started, I made lots of crafts and food, my son started saying things like “that’s enough, Mommy!” and “just leave it!” Whew. I’ve been avoiding the blog…too much to say.

Well, let’s start at the beginning. First, I’ve been a little wary to claim victory for Barack - Hillary has 17 million reasons to hold out until the convention, and I wouldn’t put it past her. But I did receive my cool Obama magnet (my gift for donating), so that’s exciting. I also got my super awesome Shepard Fairey stickers from Sticker Robot, but because of they’re VERY permanent sticking capabilities, I’ve been a little gun shy about sticking them on anything. Not to be too much of a bandwagon fan, but as soon as Barack’s nomination is a little more set in stone, I plan to put the first on on my sewing machine. It’s decidedly naked in it’s unadorned state.

Next on the blogging list? Reality TV. Step it Up and Dance’s finale was a little anti-climatic. I won’t reveal the winner in case it’s still stewing in your Tivo, but I’ll just say it wasn’t much of a surprise. I have been thoroughly enjoying the auditions for this year’s So You Think You Can Dance - I can’t wait for the top 20 to begin their competition. Some of the audition stuff seems to be setting the dancers up for failure. Like that last girl Katie, that got picked over her best friend. They already portrayed her as a quitter to the American public, and made her look like she didn’t care if her friend got in, even though her friend was SOOO supportive of her. So that’s not good. I’m excited about the finale of Top Chef. If Lisa wins I’ll be very sad. I can’t stand the way she stands in front of the judges table - that awful “who gives a shit” face she makes is getting on my nerves. Stephanie and Blaise seem to be more deserving of the title based on their performance throughout the season. I like them both the same.

I think I’ll make my crafty achievements a new post - so that’s it for now.

I’m predictably addicted to this dance reality show on Bravo, Step it Up and Dance. But the best part is that on Bravotv.com, they have something called dancealongs - where the choreographers break down the dance for ME! In my living room! Check it out:

Oh yeah, and counting down to So You Think You Can Dance…May 22!!! Woo hoo!
