OH, right, I almost forgot.
And if it is lack of respect for human life that is a root cause. THEN WHAT THE HELL KIND OF MESSAGE DOES WAR SEND!?!!?!

that is not so healthy, so now I yoga and go to bed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, I wish I could add something cheery to the subject, but I can't. Entertainment trumps all considerations of what's newsworthy.
We're an empire in decline....

I love it when Jesse gets all bioqueened up. She was superglam for the dinner before my and JZ's wedding.
They do have bioqueen drag shows in SF, incidentally. They call it something else. It's at a drag club, of course, but they feature women who dress Glamoursly and Glitterously.
Good luck, shrift! Take all the interview-ma you need.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
OK, are there any evils that the theory of evolution doesn't cause?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So....Studio 60. I haven't seen the most recent ep yet, but I keep getting hung up on the logistical details. I still really like most of the writing, and the relationships between the characters, but... this show tapes live on the West Coast at 11:30? So it's on in New York at...2:30? AM? Seriously? Also, Thursday night primetime is when movie studios care about airing movie promos. Not Friday at midnight. Because Friday at midnight is when people are already out at the movies. And speaking of primetime, a network president would not be spending all of her time massaging a late night show that airs once a week. No matter how flagshippy the show is, she just wouldn't do it. And dear lord, the whole big "I know how to save the show! We'll put on a MUSICAL!" revelation was just bad. (Note to all writers everywhere -- the formulation "I know how to save the [town/school/wetlands/etc], we'll put on a SHOW!" should only ever be used in parody. For reals.) The writing, the acting, the setup, and that's before we even get to the sketch itself. It's bad enough having to handwave the timeslot, now I have to handwave a mass audience that responds well to agonizingly slow Gilbert & Sullivan parodies?
I don't know. I like everything about it except for the parts about the show. And I wish I could turn that part of my brain off and just enjoy it, but it seems like every five minutes something else happens that completely throws me out of it.

So....Studio 60
Yeah, I'm kinda wishing they were more "Rosencranz&Gildenstern are dead" with the show stuff and just keep focusing on the behind the scenes stuff.

Catching up...
I'm sure it will surprise no one that I want them to harvest all donateable things they can and either burn the rest or take it down to the bones so someone can have a skeleton. Though I don't know if the titanium plates would disqualify my skeleton from being used. As far as memorials - I want a blow-out Irish wake, with drinking and singing and crying and laughing and story-telling.
In this, Juliana and I are one. Please, no one display me like a mannequin and play sad dirges. I want my friends and family to PARTY and celebrate my life.
WTF? Check out this ad on the "Answers in Genesis" webpageTommyrot, I'm appalled by that link. It makes me so angry that I can barely type. What does it say about "being made in God's image" if His creations only have morality if it is imposed on them by a higher power? Give me a friggin' break.

But if you're Sorkin, how hard would it be to find out what it's like? It's not like it's Simon's Studio 60, where you know your dirt is on the street. Where you know all the comics would be philandering cokeheads, and the network brass fucking gutless weasels.

Jessica, I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that the show tapes live for the East Coast and is tape delayed when it airs on the West Coast.
Possible spoilers for future episode(s): I heard that there's something in an upcoming episode where they have to pull a sketch and replace it between the West and East Coast airings.
