Average Jane Wants to Know...

1. Am I the only person who has difficulty with "Press in and pull up" perforated box tops?  I swear, I can't get into a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese unless I carve out the tab with a steak knife first.  When it comes to big, thick boxes of kitty litter, I almost can't open them at all.
2. Is it weird to obsessively check a recently sent Evite to see who has looked at it but not yet responded?
3. Did you notice that I finally updated my "Other Blogs I Like" list?  I kept toying with the idea of renaming the list because "Other Blogs I Like" so strongly implies that I like my own blog and, oh, these blogs, too.  Since that's actually true, I figured it could stand.  I also eliminated the photo sites list because there just weren't enough of them.  I rolled its blogs into the regular blog list and figured that y'all could live without the other few links.  Finally, I read a lot of the blogs in the BlogHer blogroll on the left but I didn't repeat any of my newer faves from that list on the right.  Read 'em all and find your own favorites!
4. If you watched last night's Emmy Awards, what was your favorite moment?  I have to go with the House writer who thanked someone for "talking [him] out of using the wombat suit from the teaser" because "it was a bad idea."  My second runner up would be S. Epatha Merkerson's "speech lost down the cleavage" incident, but I felt sorry for her so that made it less amusing (especially since I could imagine myself doing the same thing).
5. Is there anything you'd like to ask me?  I can use all of the blog topic ideas I can get!

1. I am extremely anal about opening those "press and pull" things correctly. Yes, they are a pain!

2. No - I do the same when I send out an Evite.

3. I say, if you don't like your own blog, yet still update nearly daily, you have far more other issues to worry about than the verbiage on your sidebar! OF COURSE, we all like our own blogs. THAT's the point! :-)

4. In a rare moment of actual channel surfing (something I normally don't do) I caught the last few moments of the Emmy's and as usual, was disgusted with the winners (Arrested Dev, Jason Bateman, Deadwood and Ian McShane got $CREWED). That's why I don't generally watch the Emmy's.

5. Will your band be playing at your get-together coming up? I'd like to finally hear you guys!

I have to agree....S. Epatha Merkerson's "speech lost down the cleavage" was great! I also thought Deadwood and Ian McShane got jipped, although I have to be honest...I DO like James Spader in Boston Legal. And....I see your updated blogroll...thanks so much Jane.

Cagey - Yes, my band is playing at our annual party. We may not have very many songs ready, but we'll play what we have.

Joy - I agree that Deadwood deserved "Best Drama" and I was torn between Ian McShane and Hugh Laurie for Best Dramatic Actor. I couldn't believe both were overlooked.
