Let us make it known that we do not intend to use snarking as a form of bullying in any way, shape, or form. We merely write out running commentaries of what we're thinking while watching the reality shows, awards shows, sports games, or just what we see when we're out in Indy.
Why we created this blog: Superbowl 2011 really kicked things off for us, shortly followed by the Oscars. Through the magical world of Facebook we had running commentaries during those two particular shows (as opposed to just sitting in the same room and talking to each other, of course) and we were quite a hit with our friends. Then one mutual friend (Mizz) suggested we get our own show. Being us, we thought (over Facebook updates), "Why didn't we think of that?!" Mizz wanted to name it SnL (Sizz 'n' Liz), but naturally Saturday Night Live (tm) might have something to say about that one.
So we took damn near a month to come up with something we thought would work for us. A blog named Something to Snark About.
So bare with us while we work out any kinks (unless you're into kinks...wait, wrong blog) and get this motha fired up! Our ultimate aim is to climax up to next year's awards season (and Superbowl oddly enough) with livestreaming video of us watching the shows and relaying our snarky comments to you. We'll see how that goes, but here's hoping.
So break out your favorite beverage and sit back while we post everything you might be thinking about the people we see on TV. Who are these people anyway?!
xoxo Sarah and Liz
