That kind of stuff makes me want to shoot my TV with a Glock 9 mm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Argh. My coworker told me this morning that he gave his two weeks.
I don't want to be a department of one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wonder how much they get for this placement. Normal ad revenue goes to the network, right? In-show placement goes to the production itself?

I don't know. With the Coldplay thing, I'm pretty sure CBS got a sizable chunk, if not the whole pie.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You know what I don't get? Cars that pull into adjacent lanes without looking, get honked at by the car that they almost hit, and wait a second, and then turn on their turn signals.
I mean, come on, we've all done that-- not looked quite as well as we should, or realized how big your blind spot is--, but really, who do you think the turn signal is going to fool, or protect?
IOnon-meme news, I agree with the bag brand on GG being well done. I saw one other show where that brand was pimped (maybe Will and Grace, back when it was funny), and it wasn't nearly as seamless.

I am in hate with Travelocity right now. It tells me there are $451 flights to Roatan, but it won't tell me when. I did get it to cough up the goods on Tegucigalpa, but that leaves one with the prospect of additional transport to the Bay Islands.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My coworker told me this morning that he gave his two weeks.
Aw, shit.
I'm about to go spend a week and a half in New Orleans. You can come live with me.

I was cracked up by the Dodge Stratus mention back in the first season of Lost. Yeah, way to go, you've just placed your product as a status symbol driven by an incompetent moron on a show where the predominant image viewers walk away with is a gruesome travel disaster... now watch those puppies fly off the lot!

I'm tempted!
Hmm. You know, with him bailing out, this makes my need to bail out much more urgent.
Also, ARGH, Yuletide!

Fuck, yes.
I myself am looking at craigslist and trying to decide whether to apply for a job. I need more sleep, more caffeine, and less stress in order to make this decision.
Christmas concert #6 is tonight. I did the math. From Thursday to Monday, and assuming that there's no overlap in the audience, I will have performed for 27,000 different people.
