I've Returned!
After 6 fun filled days in Las Vegas, I'm home.
I saw a lot of sights and shows (including Phantom of the Opera and the Titanic exhibit).
I also attended the tournament and networked with a lot of people. On Thursday, we piled into the Cox Pavilion at UNLV to watch the finals of the three acting events. As usual, a number of stars were there. The Blue Man Group performed for us and Deirdre Hall from Days of Our Lives appeared. And, of course, Michael Urie from Ugly Betty was there. He's still filming his documentary, so there was no huge shock there.
A new documentary was also debuted at Nationals. It is currently airing on HBO. Resolved follows high school debaters. I haven't caught it yet, since I was in Vegas. But, I'm scheduled to record it. As always, I'm interested to see how accurate it really is.
I'm off to check forums and see what's new here.

Digg thisHere today, Las Vegas Tomorrow!
By the time most of you read this, I will already be on the plane flying to Sin City.
The National Speech and Debate Tournament is being held in beautiful Henderson, Nevada (which is about five minutes from the Strip). While I didn't qualify any students this year
it's also a blessing, as I don't have to chaperon anyone in Sin City.
With the Disney trip looming at the end of the summer, I originally planned on NOT taking the trip to Vegas. However, since the majority of all my friends were going, I finally decided it was an opportunity I didn't want to miss.
I haven't been to Vegas in almost a year and half. That's my longest stretch of not visiting the City in 16 years. I've blogged before that ever since I was 17, my parents and I have gone to Vegas for Thanksgiving. We had this year's trip planned, booked, and my bags were packed when my Grandmother went in to intensive care. We canceled the trip. She passed away about 2 weeks after Thanksgiving, so I have to say that the extra three days we spent with her when we would have been in Vegas are priceless. Still, I've definitely been antsy to visit my favorite vacation destination (although Disney is a close number two).
While I'm there, I may see a show. I'll also be attending parts of the tournament. It's a great place to network, to get ideas for coaching, and to get a feel for what kids are doing across the nation in the different events. I also have several cheesy touristy things to do. (I always try to do at least one thing I've never done before in Vegas--because this trip is extra long--6 days--I'm aiming for 3).
I should have Internet access while there, so I will log in and check on my queue. I posted on the Editor's thread, just in case, but I figure, I'll be around a bit.
Wish me luck!

A Multiples Marathon
Yesterday, I got sucked into a marathon on the TLC network of the show Jon & Kate Plus 8.
I had never watched the show, but the family had recently taken a trip to Disney World, and another forum I'm a part of recommended watching the episode to see Disney sights. Sunday night, a friend of mine, cued the episode up on her DVR and we atched it. On Monday, when I discovered a marathon of the show I was hooked.
This high class documentary show (I guess technically it would be a reality show, but I think reality has a connotation to it) is about a family. But this isn't an ordinary family, a mom, a dad, 6 year old twins and 3 year old sextuplets. That's right 6 three year olds. Mayhem and chaos reigns.
The longer I watched the show, the more I enjoyed it. This is a family struggling to be normal under abnormal circumstances. The dad is laid back, the mom is super-organized and at-times up tight. The key, however, is that they are both really likable. Even when they do unlikable things due to stress, you know it's out of love for their kids.
I've already set my DVR to record new episodes as they come one. I guess I've added another show to my list of faves!
The countdown has begun.
7 days (including today) until school is out!
18 days until VEGAS (the National Speech and debate tournament)!
71 days until Disney World!

Reading
I was glancing at my list of people guides and was struck by how many of them were authors. Specifically, how many of them I had read their books before realizing their TV connection.
To start, it's important to note that I'm a voracious reader. Everything from historical non-fiction to trashy romance novels. I love to read. While packing up my house, of the 100 boxes the movers had to cart out, 70 of them were books. I read and I read a lot.
So, it should come as no surprise that a lot of the celebrities I actively pursued just happen to also be authors. Of my 31 people guides, 8 also have books that I've read. Of those 8, 5 were people I read the books before I actually knew of their TV ties. One of those five is Julia Sweeney (while I knew she was on SNL, I couldn't have named her until I read the book God, Said Ha!).
The 8 (alpabetically by 1st name--the asterisks indicate the authors I read before I saw):
Amy Sedaris
Anthony Bourdain
Christopher Durang **
David Sedaris **
Evan Handler **
Fannie Flagg **
Julia Sweeney **
Marilu Henner
So, of those who are my favorites? Tough question. I truly enjoyed Evan Handler's Time on Fire about his struggle with cancer. Sweeney's God Said Ha! is funny and sad as she deals with her brother's death. Fannie Flagg's Baby Girl and others are brilliant recreations of the South. And, David Sedaris releases collections of essays that actually make me laugh out loud (The Santaland Diaries is brilliant!). However, my current favorite author/guide isn't even someone I edit (Sarah Vowell and her book Assassination Vacation--She tours historical sites linked to Lincoln's, Garfield's and McKinley's assassinations--I don't, however, reccomend it to any of my Republican friends).
For every hour I spend at TV.com, I probably spend double that reading. I currently have no less than 4 books I'm in the middle of (1 of which I have read before). And, I have a stack, probably 30 deep, of books to tackle once summer begins (I can't wait for June).

Baseball
For many the baseball season has already started. With games played in Japan and the first official games yesterday, many have already started the 162 game season. For me, baseball started today with the Cubs first game. I was at work for the first pitch, but I will admit to having the game streaming through MLB's Gameday site on my computer. Because of rain delays, the game is still on right now, so I'm able to see at least part of it. It's tied. So this isn't a blog about who wins or loses. Instead, I'm just thrilled to have baseball back.
Despite steroid scandals, despite the aborted 1994 season, and despite the fact that my team hasn't won a World Series in a century; I'm still a Cubs fan and, even more importantly, a baseball fan. I enjoy all sports, but can certainly discuss baseball more competently than any of the others. I always amaze some cocky boy in one of my classes when they start talking about a game. I add my two cents, they try to catch me, and I end up knowing more about the game than they do. Jaws drop. It's great.
Our local newspaper recently ran an article (from the AP) about the history of the famous song "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." A few facts, you might not have known.
1) The song we all sing is actually the chorus to a much longer song about a girl named Katie who's obsessed with baseball. She's singing to her boyfriend about where to take her on a date--"Take me out to a ballgame." Katie, I can relate.
2) In 1969, MLB commissioned a new song to be written that they hoped would replace "Take Me Out." That song? "Baseball is More than A Game." Had you heard of it? I hadn't.
3) Originally, "Take me out" was sung during reel changes at movie theaters.
4) The song was played intermittently at some major league parks. Sometimes, before games, sometimes after. It wasn't until announcing legend, Harry Carey gained a national audience on WGN that the song spread to almost every MLB park during the 7th inning. Carey had sung the song for years (while working for the White Sox), so it was already known in Chicago. But, when he joined the Cubs' organization, WGN carried his famous performance across the country.
For those interested, you could substitute my name into the lyrics below:
"Katie Casey was baseball mad,
Had the fever and had it bad.
Just to root for the home town crew,
Ev'ry sou1
Katie blew.
On a Saturday her young beau
Called to see if she'd like to go
To see a show, but Miss Kate said "No,
I'll tell you what you can do:"
[Chorus] Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out on to the crowds;
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks,
I don't care if I never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win, it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game.
Katie Casey saw all the games,
Knew the players by their first names.
Told the umpire he was wrong,
All along,
Good and strong.
When the score was just two to two,
Katie Casey knew what to do,
Just to cheer up the boys she knew,
She made the gang sing this song:
Repeat Chorus."
GO CUBS!!!!

A Cook's Tour The French Laundry Experience Avg Score: 9.90 Total Ratings: 2 Total Reviews: 1 |
I'll admit that I sometimes find episodes of this series a little boring. The Food Network sometimes tried to keep Tony tame, and thus the show, in general, doesn't work. However, this episode proves all of that wrong! Basically, this entire episode is Tony's dinner at the restaurant of one of his idols. The fun part of this episode is that three respected culinary minds and personal friends of Tony join him for the meal. They are overwhelmed by the meal. And, they make that clear. With snarky comments that are more self depreciating than anything else, they pay homage to Thomas Keller.
Keller also proves to be delightful. I was expecting him to be snooty and lofty. After all he is the premiere French chef in the nation. But it turns out he has a delightfully wicked sense of humor.
If I have one complaint about the episode, it's that it wastes about 10 minutes with set up. Tony visits a farm with Keller and wastes time waiting for his reservation. Pass. This episode should have started with the shot of the four diners walking towards the restaurant and extended the meal. After all it was 20 courses, and each one was different for each of the four. Surely, there was enough footage to fill 22 minutes.
Overall: a great time.

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations New Jersey Avg Score: 8.86 Total Ratings: 13 Total Reviews: 3 |
"Man can not live on foie gras alone." -- Tony
The above quote from this episode sums it up nicely. This episode is NOT about gourmet food. Instead, it's about childhood and memories and comfort. It's working class. Tony does a good job of touring Jersey and sharing his own memories.
My absolute favorite part of this episode is the guest spot by Mario Batali. The whole sequence is hilarious as Mario is over run with fans, while Tony gets pushed aside. Brilliant! Mario and Tony have been friends for years and it shows.
I was a little disappointed with the focus on the Sopranos in the first half of the show. Eventually, the prolonged discussion of New Jersey's most famous TV show pays off with the closing Mario gag. However, the same joke would've worked with less set-up. This would have given Tony more time to visit other places, maybe even found a high class restaurant to try.
Overall: It was nice to see Tony in some different places (a high school cafeteria, a hot dog stand, etc). If you only like the episodes where Tony is at his most cynical and snarky, this isn't the episode for you. This is more of a self indulgent trip don memory lane where comfort and predictability are more important that fancy ingredients and gourmet tastes. I wouldn't want this gentler Tony for every episode, but it did make a nice change of pace.

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations Cleveland Avg Score: 9.43 Total Ratings: 6 Total Reviews: 1 |
This could be my favorite episode of this series. I've always been a sucker for the ones set in the US, and this one doesn't disappoint. Tony's at his best. He's sarcastic and snarky, and yet at the same time highly appreciative of the hard work and common man. He's equally at home at a late night soul food diner and Michael Symon's upscale fine dining restaurant.
Speaking of Michael Symon, I actually like him here. I watched the Nest Iron Chef and was never really a fan. But, here he's engaging. Frankly, I like him better knowing he's friends with Tony. (Although his whole Iron Chef win falls under suspicion since Ruhlman was one of the judges of that debacle).
Ruhlman is Ruhlman. The perfect foil for Tony. I wish he would guest more often. He holds his own in the kitchen, and he stands up to Tony while still allowing Tony to be the star. It's obvious the two are friends and that relationship makes us, as an audience, appreciate their interaction for what it is.
There are awkward moments in the episode. While I liked Harvey Pekar's drawings, I thought the segment he narrated was forced. Tony's meeting with Marky Ramone felt weird and forced. But the awkward moments are still endearing. Even the moment where Tony discovers that Pekar is a vegetarian comes across great on camera.
It's nice to see Tony back in the kitchen as well.
Overall: I wish every episode was this perfect.

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations Pacific NW Avg Score: 9.59 Total Ratings: 8 Total Reviews: 4 |
My favorite episodes are the ones where Tony visits a US destination. And, this episode is a perfect example of why I enjoy them so much.
Filled with Tony's quirky sense of humor, you really get a feeling for the people he meets, the food he eats, and the Pacific NW in general.
Tony's theme for this episode is obsession, and he does a good job of pulling it off throughout the episode. From the references to fight club to his endless search as to why the NW has such a foodie scene, Tony keeps searching and discovering interesting places and flavors.
Part of the fun of this episode is that the majority of the dishes Tony samples involve regular, everyday ingredients. They're just used in particularly different ways. For example bacon donuts, pop rocks in pie, etc. Of course, there are a few exotic ingredients, but would it really be a Tony show without some?
The people in this episode are really interesting. From chefs who reaffirm everything Tony's been saying for years to an underground mayor (who's a little creepy) to a foodie club that provides some of the funniest moments in the show's history.
Overall, I love this episode. It was a lot of fun and fun to watch!

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations India (Kolkata/Bombay) Avg Score: 9.52 Total Ratings: 6 Total Reviews: 1 |
This episode has everything I like about Tony and his series. Interesting, exotic food and a sense of humor are readily apparent throughout this episode.
I have never been a huge fan of Indian cuisine, but that's probably because I've only experienced the Americanized version. All of the street food that Tony eats looks and sounds delicious. Tony does an excellent job of describing the ingredients, flavors and textures of various complex dishes.
However, what I like most about this episode is that Tony's snarky, witty sense of humor abounds. The episode is littered with clever one liners. Tony's parody of Bolly/Hollywood features is brilliant. As he plays a movie mogul, he manages to skewer action movies, stars and Hollywood in general.
Overall: This episode is great. Tony shows respect (as always) for the culture he has immersed himself in, and he makes it relevant to me in my living room.
