Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

See Ellen is annoying me and I tape EVERY ELLEN SHOW weekdays.

I was thinking that Mia was being very tame tonight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fuck! My cable crapped out or something -- I can hear, but not see!

Because books.

Okay, Melissa and Ade just made me cry. That was incredible. Way to go, Tyce!

OK, changed to the non-HD channel, so I can see Nigel crying -- the dance was about cancer?? Do I need to seek it out, really?

It was very, very good. I don't blame Nigel for being speechless. I think I would have been, too.

I think even if you had turned it on and didn't know what it was about it still would take your breath away.

It was just beautiful and moving.

It was really beautiful. And very well-danced. I think they deserved everything that was said, and Tyce even more so.

It didn't help that that song *always* makes me teary, too.

I didn't mean to be flip -- I was asking about the cancer just based on Melissa's headscarf, and I didn't think it was really true....

I really liked the Shane Sparks routine too. I do have a weakness for zombie dances but it was really fun.
