I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

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.

I had soy & ginger chicken (marinade) and a small salad.

I like going on fun trips. The planning? Makes me queasy. I've become such a homebody.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe they can just stop showing the "comedy."

I think I would prefer it, though honestly this town is chock-a-block with sketch writers. (Even Bob is doing it now.) You don't have to keep hiding the ball, you know?

Just wait until you get to the montage of audience laughter.

Oh, I did.

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

All those dinner things sound good. Maybe I should just go to trader joes.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I am so sick of gubenatorial and senatorial ads

I'm sick of coming home to messages on my machine and my mailbox stuffed with flyers telling me how evil and liberal our incumbent Democrat representative is. It's ridiculous that liberal has somehow become an invective. (And I realize it's been this way since the 2004 presidential campaign, at least. Still, annoying.)

Weird thing is I'm not getting any pro-her stuff at all. So either she's not worried, or else some computer system somewhere has me labeled as a die-hard Republican.

We had the phone bomb during the primaries. There was some fairly vocal bellyaching in the press and letters to the editor, so maybe that got through. They haven't started back up. I hope they don't.

Ads started quirkily enough with the republican senatorial candidate running one that said his opponent would accuse him of hating/kicking puppies and that he likes puppies (complete with a dog-cuddle.) I give the campaign points for creativity, if not content. It rapidly devolved from there.

Good luck, Shrift!

OMG so much work to do.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think that started in the '88 presidential campaign.
