I'm in L.A. for work, which is great because the normal person in me loves visiting L.A. (however briefly), but the workaholic in me freaked out when he realized that I wouldn't be around to do my normal online awards-show kvetching the day after the Grammys. So here's me being resourceful: I called up my friend Mary Carey to record some video commentary while watching the show with me, and the result is the video above (the off-screen voice is of her husband, Mario Monge). In the rare event that I use video for what would normally be written, I tend to refer to such offerings as "meager." I think you'll find that with Mary Carey in the picture, this is, in fact, quite ample. (Thank you, thank you. I'll be making obvious jokes about the former-ish adult performer all night...)
Anyway, this was fun (for me at least!). I love Mary, and I love how far we've come. It seems like yesterday that I was paying her $20 to sit on my lap naked. I think I could probably get a discount at this point. Moving up in the world, I am!
(I don't really need to inform you that the language is NSFW, right?)
i love her! i want more..

Oh Man, I remember when the picture from the other post was new XD I've been here much longer than I realized.

"maybe if he'd just open his eyes, he wouldn't be blind anymore."
THIS. IS. AMAZING.

Oh, Solanges kid! Ohhhh. I was wondering who that little boy was! Rihanna was SO trying to take him.

I agree about the Pink song. I actually said the same thing to my boyfriend during the telecast.

I LOL'D when I saw Beyonce jammin' in her 3-D glasses...it just sucked the somberness out of the tribute :p

I adore her! Her language was, surprisingly, not that bad.
And she really reminds me of Miley Cyrus (is that bad?). Like... She sounds kind of like her and looks a bit like her, too. Does anyone else see that? (You have to try and pull your eyes away from the amazing cleavage that woman has to see it)

i think mary carey needs to be involved more often. the height game section was way entertaining!
also, the 3d glasses were free at target. the one in my town had a whole shitload of them still available, although i heard that there were a large number of people that were coming and calling down there before the grammys who were really concerned that the glasses would all be gone.
(also, i did not actually get 3d glasses for myself, since i was working and did not get to see the show. i was fairly curious to, but this video made up for that.)

Yo, I love that what you said about Taylor's perpetual surpised-ness was almost word-for-word verbatim what I say to everyone.

The whole time, the look on your face is "This is why I'm gay."

Love the blog, love you! ..this video made me laugh. How about Taylor not act perpetually surprised about winning every damn award this season? I hear she is quite tall too..

My personal fave:
"Does she always spell her name with a dollar sign?"
"Yeah."
"Really? Why?"
*pause*
"Cuz she's an asshole."
Ha! Well done.

Are we sure Mary isn't Miley's older sister?
Posted by: gogo | February 02, 2010 at 08:37 PM
I loved it when you told her she didnt invent the hot/cold game and she just looked at you and said "well no, my grandma did" BAHAHAHHAH

Oh I love her. I hope she's doing well.
Not that one's rehab experience should be joked around with, but my friend and I still quote this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSTC9cjJ4V0
