2005 MTV Video Music Awards Recap
Pamie and Stee (f/ Djb!) witness the further step in the devolution of the music industry in the form of the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, hosted by the amusingly un-self-aware leader of all that is anti-art in rap music — the man so effective at whatever it is he does that he created a…

Tubey’s Kids Katrina Classroom Care Donation
Right now, teachers are using DonorsChoose to propose “Classroom Care Packages” for students dislocated by Hurricane Katrina. Television Without Pity has created a special Recapalooza in support of this effort. For every $2000 raised, a TWoP recapper will recap something weird and wonderful of their choosing (uh oh!).

Three Stories
LA Story I felt my first real earthquake today. I mean one where I knew an earthquake was about to hit and then it did. I sat through lots of earthquakes when I lived in Palm Springs as a kid, but I don’t really remember them. We lived above the laundry facility at a hotel,…

an apology
It has been brought to my attention that my name (as well as Television Without Pity’s) was listed this past weekend in a schedule of events for a convention. I was never a confirmed speaker, and had informed the convention I would be unable to attend months ago. I apologize for those of you who…

One week later, we’re watching The…

I’m making copies of the Anne Heche show for someone, and I’ve spent the morning calling people while watching them perform monologues. It’s a strange meta thing to talk to someone while listening to them…

Coming Up for Breath
It’s like I’m coming up for air. I’ve been going non-stop for a couple of weeks now, and I think right now at this moment I’m having my first second of silent, spare time. The fact that I’m filling it with writing an entry instead of finishing my book (I’m reading A Tree Grows In…

Unique Artistic Vision and Semi-Worthy Poetry
Caught up on TiVo, and it turns out that I hate the show I thought I’d like, and I like the show I thought I’d hate. How about that? The Anna Nicole Show was so disappointing. I couldn’t even find a reason to laugh. I just sat there staring, wondering why nobody bothered to make…
