Due to the current heat wave.

Freak. Unless you are in msbelle's office.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My apartment is always very warm, but today it's unbearable. I figure it's because it's all the way up to freezing today. Oy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

in all sorts of Murphy's Law-iness, today my office heat is mysteriously not on. I am comfortable right now, but fear that by this afternoon I will be chilly. cannot win for losing.

Ah. I like having control over my thermostat. Of course, now that I'm paying my own gas, I may not like it quite as much.

Ah jeez, msbelle. Leave your coat on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In the apartment, I'm OK with unlimited heat, since I can just keep the windows open. And I don't pay for it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

In related tax commentary, I heart Turbo Tax so much that I have my return all ready to go-- took only 30 minutes for state and federal. But trying to avoid Jesse's predicament. I hate waiting for my refund! I'm looking at you CITIBANK and your missing 1099-INT!

I have a query for y'all. Bob sent me a link to a National Review article about why there are so many more males in the comedy business than females and it contained the following:

In my 15 years in the sitcom business, I have worked side-by-side with 30 different women writers. Ten of them have since gone on to be show-runners, the highest rank a TV writer can attain, short of David Kelley, who is show-runner-married-to-movie-star.

My recollection is that a show-runner is actually one step below the executive producer/creator (Angel's Minear to Whedon)-- and I kind of doubt Kelley does that much show running, given how many he cranks out. Is it true that this is the highest rank a TV writer can attain?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Did anyone else using Turbo Tax get the free federal filing? When I logged on to TT using my bookmark, I didn't get it. But buy using the link at irs.gov (after I had already entered my information) I got the federal filing free (and half-priced state filing). Saved me about $40 for both returns and I'm getting everything direct deposited.

I got out all my tax info last night to prepare it for my tax guy, but then I didn't do it. Tonight I must. betting on a big refund.

know what's good? hot chocolate. That was my breakfast proxy today.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Technically, EP isn't a writing position, even though in practice television producers are overwhelmingly mostly writer-producers, and I've never heard of a show-runner who wasn't also a co-EP. The creator-EP probably gets paid more, but the showrunner has more day-to-day control.

That's why we use it.
