She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

And just like that, Kristen made my enjoyment of the holiday season complete with the mental image of Jay Leno crying like a baby.

It felt kind of mean of me, what with it being the holidays and all, to take pleasure in someone else's pain. But with Matt for company...hahahaha!!!

I don't know what it is about Jay. I liked him when he started. I think he's funny and I don't really know, but he seems like a decent enough person. I think it may be the hot pink backdrop. I am so petty.

See, that's why you're a writer and I'm not.

Thanks! Maybe I can get a job on Letterman. Dave, call me!

I knew about Worldwide Pants, how long has there been a Worldwide Trousers?

I assume it's some kind of dba thing since everything they've produced always says "Worldwide Pants."

I don't know what it is about Jay. I liked him when he started. I think he's funny and I don't really know, but he seems like a decent enough person.

For me, it was the Late Shift. Bill Carter's account of how the Carson Debacle went down really paints Leno as a nice guy but a weak one, who'd rather turn a blind eye than face reality.

In shopping news, I bought socks. And a jacket that I started to regret buying before I even got out of the mall's garage.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

For me, it was the Late Shift.
That was kinda painful for me to watch. Several times. I wanted to like them all so much more than I did after that.

Return the jacket.

I wanted to like them all so much more than I did after that.

Oddly, the movie version almost made me like Mike Ovitz.

I really do like the jacket. It's just a very light color so I'm worried about keeping it clean. I'm trying to rationalize the purchase by reminding myself that whatever I bought today will probably not fit me in two months anyway.

Funny strike related moment: I was deciding between two jackets and had to put one of them back. Because it was red. I might never want to wear that color again.

Cause he was Treat Williams. He's likable. (I totally had to check with IMDB before I posted that. I was afraid I was misremembering.)

Because it was red. I might never want to wear that color again.
I apologize for laughing.

Starts to plan trip to see Kristen... and all the clothes she's shrinking out of...


Kristen - Dec 30, 2007 3:54:20 pm PST #9313 of 10001

Monique, you'd better book your ticket fast. I have two HUGE 30 gallon trash bags filled with the clothes that no longer fit me. And they ain't staying in the house for long.

ETA: Actually, I should ship you some stuff. You're the only person I know who's tall enough to wear a lot of these clothes.

I apologize for laughing.

No apologies needed. I found it funny myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm tall! But not actually angling for your clothes. I hate getting clothes mail-order!


Monique - Dec 30, 2007 4:04:30 pm PST #9315 of 10001

It's like shopping, only without the mall!

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Bob Costas just got a little slam on his corporate masters (or support for the WGA depending on how you look at it) during halftime of tonight's Colts Titans game.

He was reading a little promo for Leno and Conan coming back on Wednesday night and quipped, "We can only hope that Triumph the insult comic dog writes his own material."

hee!
