Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh you can take the girl out of Somerville...

Heh.

I am so sick of gubenatorial and senatorial ads.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Me too.

You know what I'm not sick of though? Planning fun trips.

What are/did people have for dinner? I can't decide what I should make/buy.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm in Ohio. Our county commissioner's race is drawing blood.

What is even happening?

Heh.

Jesse, if you were from Medford or Revere it would have been funnier. Did I tell you about my cousin? I have to get the kids ready for bed, so in case I didn't... He grew up in Malden, but moved to Denver, CO as an adult. He was going to grad school and tending bar. One night, he had his back turned to the bar, and heard a female patron say, "I'll have a beah." He snapped right around, took one glance at her and said, "You're from Revere!"

The girl said, "Oh my God, how did you know?"

Heh.

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

dinner

pita bread with various dips, some olives, and roasted potatoes with rosemary. Basically stuff that didn't require more than a microwave warm-up.

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

Too bad he can't have a sketch comic writing those parts.

He fucking does! And it's not like he scraped the bottom of the barrel; Marck McKinney worked on one of the best sketch comedy shows ever. But that was over a decade ago. Not to mention, he wrote during one of SNL's *worst* seasons.

It's hard to write good sketch, but this show has it easy-- you don't even have to resolve the damn thing! But how was that Jeopardy sketch any less hackneyed than the Bush cold open from the premiere? And don't get me started on how not-funny Sarah Paulson and D.L. Hughley are. I'm not even convinced Nate Corddry can do sketch. The funniest thing about last night's was Carlos Jacott, IMHO.

To me it's as if each week on House the medicine was gibberish and the patient always died.
