Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I think Jake in Progress has completely roped me in. Love love love Wendy Malick, and even the annoying magician guy is having funny storylines. I'm just waiting for them to start having celebrity guest clients like Arli$$, though.

It was really weird to see Lindsay Crouse on CSI as a preoperative transsexual and unlicensed doctor that was butchering other transsexuals. I wonder how casting agents approach an actress to tell her she could believably play a (technically) male character?

When George popped up with that "I like having a penis" non-sequitur, did anyone besides me say in their heads "yeah, Nick's!" ?

The status is NOT quo.

I need a massage. Why has someone not provided me with a live-in masseuse?

I've been grading for the last five hours and have been very productive (though I'm have to go back to it again in a second here), and I feel a massage would be an excellent reward.

Now tagless for your comfort.

After a playing a demon-experimenting psychologist/college professor, I doubt if she bats an eyelash.

I am particularly fond of the annoying magician guy as I went to school with him.

The OC was cute tonight. I'm not liking Summer's extreme hate-on for comics, but I am thinking that Marissa should hook up with Trey instead of Ryan. It would be funny, and would cause Ryan to brood some more.

The promo-promised "moment we've all been waiting for" was the key toss, right? 'Cause that was awesome.

Trust my rage

I am particularly fond of the annoying magician guy as I went to school with him.

His stories always seem sort of shoehorned in to me, but I, also, am liking the show way more than I expected to. Hot John Stamos doesn't hurt - and it seems like he's gotten hotter to me.

Yes, he's the wacky friend from left field who always seems to be around. Thank you Kozmo Kraemer (sp?). In real life he's a much funnier person and not quite so effeminate as he seems to be on the show.

This may be the most Buffista-ish call to activism the ACLU has ever sponsored:

Host a "couch party":

In Washington, self-appointed arbiters of morality are targeting cable programs with new rules that jeopardize our most basic personal and creative freedoms.
Please take the time to invite a few friends and get involved this weekend. Whether it's "South Park," "The Sopranos," "Sex and the City," or another cable show likely to show up on the FCC's black list, you probably have a show that you care about, and would like to see safe from an ill-conceived invasion into artistic expression and private life.

To stop this invasive and creeping censorship we need to make our voices heard. We've provided a letter to Congress that you can print and sign. Tell your representatives to oppose restrictions to free speech on cable TV.

So gather your friends together, make some popcorn and sit back to enjoy your favorite programs - while you still can.

Make sure you fill in the TV show, date, time and location of your party.

We'll send you a one-time follow up email, asking how your Couch Party went.

Timelies!

That's all I got.

I am particularly fond of the annoying magician guy as I went to school with him.

I've hated him with a reach-through-the-screen-and choke-the-actor intensity in everything else I've ever seen him in, but he's somehow OK for me in this show.
