(43-346) Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon - Challenge #3

I've been wanting to make some birthday and thank you cards for a few weeks now, so when Mari invited me over to scrapbook, I jumped at the opportunity to spend some time with her.  As is typical, my day got away from me, and so before I can endeavor to make a card, I need to write  tonight's post.  Having nothing particularly witty, amusing or interesting to share today, I'm gonna try to impress you (yet again) with my prowess at Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. 

I asked Mari to challenge me, and she went blank.  We discussed some actors and actresses, and she mentioned Amanda Seyfried.  I didn't want to take that challenge since it was fairly simple times two.  Amanda Seyfried to Bill Paxton in "Big Love" Bill Paxton to Kevin Bacon in "Apollo 13", or Amanda to Meryl Streep in "Mamma Mia" and Meryl Streep to Kevin Bacon in "The River Wild."

Mari gave it a little more thought, and challenged me with Valerie Bertinelli.  So here goes: Valerie Bertinelli  to Betty White in "Hot In Cleveland", Betty White to Sandra Bullock in "The Proposal", Sandra Bullock to Dianne Wiest in "Practical Magic",  and Dianne Wiest to  Kevin Bacon in "Footloose".

Now I fully understand that most of you don't find this as fun and fascinating as I do; but lemme tell you that it thrills me no end and since I like to share things that make me happy, I hope you'll excuse this indulgence.  I'm not quite sure how it is that I've come to acquire and retain all of this useless knowledge but it does come in handy when playing this game.  As always I welcome you to provide your alternate route for this challenge or submit another.  You can email me or leave your comment here or on Facebook.
Till next time...

(43-34) The Show I Shouldn't Have Missed...

In my August 24, 2010 blog, "Reality Check", I wrote about how reliant I am on my DVR.  Well, the thing about the DVR is, that it doesn't work UNLESS YOU PROGRAM IT.

In my March 4, 2009 "100 Random Things About Me" blog, #37 was "I've always loved award shows. But now, I keep it down to The Oscars, The Tonys,The Emmys and The Golden Globes; (oops, And SAG and Critics Choice.)"  So, what do my DVR and award shows have in common? You've probably guessed it.  I was unaware that the Emmys were on last night and hence I did not watch or DVR the broadcast; and I am very disappointed.  I've been able to find re-runs of the red carpet coverage, and of course there's the "Fashion Police;" however, thus far I have been unable to find a FULL broadcast of the actual show. Now certainly I have bigger fish to fry and this is NOT the end of the world, but while I was trying to locate the show online; I found the opening number from the broadcast and let me just say that if this number was any indication of what the rest of the show was like; BOY did I miss a doozie. In case you haven't seen it, I'm going to share the link with you now; and if you've never checked out any other link that I've posted; I promise you that you won't want to pass this one up. If you have seen it; by all means go ahead and watch it again. I've already watched it 3 times and it just gives me a BIG smile.

Now I ask you, WHAT could be better than this??  I'd take Jimmy Fallon as a host, over Neil Patrick Harris any day; and I like Doogie; really I Doo!  You've got the cast of  "GLEE;"  and if you've read "The Bumpy Ride" before; then you KNOW that's one of my fave shows.  If you're new to my blog; I LOVE GLEE!!  The effervescent Betty White (who I just blogged about last week in "Hot and Huge,"
was prominently featured; as was Tina Fey, Jon Hamm, Kate Gosselin and Randy Jackson - not a group you'd typically expect to see together. This skit was funny and innovative and in my opinion, "Born to Run" is one of the best Springsteen songs ever; so the entire number was just PERFECTION!!  I think this is going to be a VERY tough act to follow; but rest assured my DVR and I will be ready next time for whoever wants to try.
Till next time...
