[livejournal.com profile] menikoff tagged me with the "guilty pleasures" meme, which eventually I'll get around to. Tonight included one of the traditions I've maintained since I moved into the apartment: popcorn night. Mom bequeathed me the air popper for Very Important nights, like figure skating and the Oscars. It's also become a tradition for Sci Fi Friday.

The other big event is Miss America. As long as I can remember, I've always watched it. We have our little lists of the top tens and what their talent was. I always find one girl that interests me. Occasionally I've been right, but not usually. I do give a good cheer for the local VA/DC/MD triad. Both DC and VA were wiped out in the final final round this time around, which was depressing. I liked DC's tap dancing routine. I winced at Virginia's "Jekyll & Hyde" rendition though. A lot of dancers this year. But no firebreathing baton twirlers or cloggers...

I had my doubts about the move to CMT, but the show was nice. Streamlined and classic with just innovation without being too much. I didn't think the party added anything. But no techno-ized music and trivia contests, just the final question. Can't go too wrong with Jamie Denton, looking quite nice in black tux.

Overall I was pleased with the results.

I managed to stay relatively unspoiled for today's Olympics coverage. Gymnastics, swimming and fencing! )

I had a fandom collides moment while catching up with the last two weeks of Another World when Elizabeth Gracen popped up as herself discussing the Miss America competition, long before she swung a sword in HL. Odd though that they focused on that pretty girl from the crowd who wanted to go to college and the writers kinda missed the big Miss America connection with the college scholarships. Admittedly this was Miss America circa 1988, but I think they were still awarding scholarships back then, yes?
