Oh, there was a sketch show called Jam a few years back that I really liked. It was very bleak, and bizarre, and hilarious.

It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

Cracker is dark.
YAY! Dark is my favorite!
I haven't had a chance to watch yet. I was doing stuff and, now, there's a Prison Break marathon.

Hey, I just finished watching that on DVD last week. Now I'm trying to figure out if there's anyone I can show it to who will still speak to me afterwards.

You should come to LA and we'll watch them with you.

I'm working on it. Slowly. I kept thinking Tim would like it, with all the dead-baby jokes.

Dude, who could fail to see the mirth in the Melon King? Or the little girl assasin? Comedy gold.

You know, he does have a birthday coming up...

See, now I'm interested to see what he'd come up with after watching it, if the feelgood dead baby episode of the year came before being exposed to it. It's a fun experiment!

Speaking of the feelgood dead baby episode...I was watching WaT, like, a week or two ago, I think. I was doing stuff around the house so I wasn't fast forwarding past the commercials, which is how I heard the teaser for that night's 11 o'clock news. The story?
A woman was killed and sliced open by another woman who wanted to steal her child.
I went to find the actual story online (since I was watching this a few days after the fact). Turns out that this was the second such incident. The first one being about 10 months ago. I meant to ask him if he'd heard the original story and if that was where the idea for Aidan came from. But I forgot.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The first one was national news. A good friend of mine (who was pregnant at the time) spent part of her childhood in the town where that happened. Her 7 yr old son caught the story on the news and told her that he hoped that wouldn't happen to her.
