45 Posts, 5 Emmys, and 1000 Views

It's time to celebrate a great victory in Hollywood for 24, which won five of the 12 Emmys it was nominated for including Best Drama and Lead Actor.

(Kiefer Sutherland collects his award)

This has been the fifth year for both nominations, but also the first victory. Being in Abu Dhabi at my new home, the Emmys were not available, but I did watch the third season of 24. Three down, one to go. 72 hours since I got to Abu Dhabi. 72! That's three seasons! I just finished Season 3 last night.

My channel box came one day late. One day! Reading about it in the paper, the night sounded unmissable. Conan O'Brien pasting himself in 24 scenes. Two of my favorite things: Irish redheaded Catholic people and 24, all in one. If anyone knows, I'd like to hear which scenes he did.

The only dissapointment was Steve Carrell losing to Monk. The Office is the absolute funniest show on TV, largely due to Carrell and co-star Rainn Wilson. Shame they didn't come home with gold.

More Astonishing Blog News

Wally...the name itself reminds us of the UK, the things that hold up the ceilings, and that weird guy on Leave it to Beaver. It only lasted a short time, but it was good. Now it's time to move on.

Why, you ask? The main reason that I changed back to Waldo was that I need everyone to know that I am in fact named Waldo, rather than some silly gimic based on a kid's book. I don't want any strangers to think I'm just a phsycho. I'm really Waldo. I also want everyone to know that this change has nothing to do with Michard, although I do thank you for your suggestions. For anyone who's paying attention, my favorite book is still "Where's Wally?" and will remain so as a kind or painful reminder.

The other blog news is a new feature on the links list. I was made known to the fact that Michard is posting again, and within seconds his link was a healthy new addition to my sidebar.

I apologize about the lack of picures on my latest two posts. I'm posting from a Mac, so give me a break!

WALLY!

Why, great scot! I've changed my name to Wally!

Blog News

Everyone needs to know that the "Happy Birthday, Abu Yahya" post was pulled because Abu Yahya didn't want anyone to know how old he is. For those of you who don't want to accept this, vent your anger. Blame it on the FCC or Censorship or something like that.

LEARN SOME ARABIC
For those you feeling adventurous and who just love learning, try looking up what "Abu Yahya" means in Arabic.

BLOG CLOCK UNDERGOES A REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE!
My blog has overcome its jet lag as it officially changes from Pacific US time to Dubai/United Arab Emirates time. This means all of your comments as well as my posts will display a clock nine or ten hours ahead of when it actually happened! As you celebrate the greatest blog event since foundation of blogs, eat some cake or something. I, however, am on a diet.

On the subject of blog jet lag, one might ask about me. Don't worry. I never get jet lag.

Now for some even more astonishing blog news!






WHERE'S...WALLY?!
When corousing a bookstore in Dublin, I was knocked off my feet by a remarkable truth. Waldo books in Ireland and the UK are called Wally books. Don't believe me? Here's the proof.




Ha ha! Gotcha now. Last time you don't believe me, huh? It only gets better.









Not only is Wally different in the UK, he's also completely cool!





There was also a terrorist plot uncovered recently in the UK. Sounds like a diehard "Waldo" fan to me.
