Greatest Emmy Opening Ever

Things that I love: Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, Don Draper, LOST, Bruce Springsteen’s “Born to Run” and choreographed dance sequences. It’s things like this that remind me that I should really be working in television. I can’t sing, but man can I dance. And all I want to do is DANCE!

Also, Betty White really reminds me of my nana.

Little League World Series Championship: Hawaii vs. Japan

I’ve loved the LLWS since I was a little kid. I’ve been twice, and I just think it’s the coolest thing for young-in’s to get to play on such an international stage.

Coverage begins on ABC today at 3 p.m. as Hawaii takes on Japan in an epic battle not seen since Pearl Harbor. Ok, Pearl Harbor was probably worse; these are 11-year-old boys we’re talking about.

If you’ve never seen the LLWS before, and have a free afternoon, I highly recommend you watch. It’s great baseball, and for a few hours you might just feel like a little kid again. Batter up!

Lil Wayne’s Thoughts on Tennis, From Jail

Remember that episode of The Office where they find out that one of the employees from the newly-merged Stamford branch is an ex-con? And Michael get’s all offended because he thinks the employee is making jail sound better than Dunder-Mifflin? So he creates “Prison Mike” to let them know that prison is nothing but dropping the soap and eating gruel? Well, “Prison Mike” was wrong, because Lil Wayne is making jail seem like the life I want to have.

When Weezy isn’t making new music (which I can’t even do from my apartment, go figure), he’s apparently blogging about everything that is sport. So Sports Illustrated decided to send him some sheets of their letterhead and asked him to write about the U.S. Open. “The U.S. Open, 100 words, go!” And trust me, giving things to people in jail is not easy. I tried to give my business card to a murderer once and they had to test it for a day to make sure it wasn’t laced with drugs. This is a completely true story.

Wayne “simply adores” Maria Sharapova, but is giving the edge to Kim Clijsters on the women’s side. And obviously, he’s backing Rafa for the men. It’s things like this that make it good to wake up in the morning. Respectfully, Kelly.
