Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Barnes and Noble needs a shareable wishlist feature. I don't want things bought at Amazon. Pfft.

My Christmas bonus is probably the mandatory overtime notice I got this morning.
Black bean and corn salad -- half the work is opening cans, and it's yum.
Hmm. Recipe?

dear ita,
just because it is on the amazon wishlist does not mean that it needs to be purchased there. Also? you can put things on their wishlist from many other stores. just sayin.
love, me

I think your Christmas bonus should be the resignation notice you send them in response to the mandatory overtime notice. Complete with EAT IT! header.

And, what msbelle said. Shake the dust off your kickass leather boots! Go somewhere you don't have to shovel, or even own an ice scraper!
I suspect I'm getting a bonus, but I don't know when. They generally appear somewhat mysteriously.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
shrift, seriously. Turn in your notice and get the hell out of Dodge. Preferably westward.

From the "Or was that a rhetorical question?" files...
Why is so much of the production attached to the show, but directors aren't? Is it because the things we'd look for in a film direction are imposed over them, and their job is more transparent?
My guess is that it would be expensive and insanely difficult to hire a new crew, much less a new cast, for every episode. Bringing in different directors doesn't present any special challenges. And with the production schedule, a director can only make so much difference, so why bother? (I mean, I believe it would improve the final product, but I'm not sure it would improve it enough to justify the additional expense.)
I think it's also true that the auteur theory hasn't permeated TV culture the way it has movie culture. Probably because the writers are right there to defend their territory.

I don't actually have a lesbian lover.
And she's not a cowgirl either.
Are we writing a country song?
It could be the theme song for BIZARROBACK MOUNTAIN
