Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know. I like everything about it except for the parts about the show.

Totally this. bon, about the ratings, I think they just gained 9%, not 109% -- I'm pretty sure he said they "retained 109%," because they were afraid they were going to lose share. Also, I can wank that the 15 minutes we see the higher-ups is most of the time they are spending dealing with the show.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

You know, the trouble Sorkin et al is having coming up with truly funny stuff for the imaginary show skits put into perspective for me what a marvel it is that TDS and Colbert are consistently funny, day after day -- that's a lot of comedy writing and acting in a short time....

OMG so late to work. This morning was just a disaster all the way around -- overslept, had to wash my hair, dicked around, realized at the last minute my dress was too wrinkled to wear, changed clothes, trains were slow, etc., etc.

OK, just had to get that out. Am trying to avoid unnecessary disclosure to my officemate.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jessica, I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that

If that's true, then they need to be more careful about having characters say things like "11:30 - here we go!" I'm willing to believe it's just lazy continuity, but it still bugs.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

OMG so tired. Not sleeping well and leaving for Italy tomorrow and must pack. ACK.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

People. Do your research.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Bioqueen! It's the hot new thing.

You have no idea! It really is!

I could *totally* bioqueen!

Studio 60 -- I haven't watched this week's episode yet, but last week's had a line from Matt about how it was 100 degrees at 8 p.m., and the audience waiting outside, etc., and then something about how it was half an hour until the show started. I just assumed it was live for the East Coast at 11:30 and tape-delay for the West Coast.

Seriously. I just had to go into my friend's office and shut the door to rant about how I swear I know more about some other people's jobs than they do, and WTF.

I would be stung if people were getting snippy with me about things that turned out to be me in the wrong. But that's more about me being wrong than about the snip, though that doesn't help.

I also do try very hard not to be snippy during the work day. Which even extends to krav. Perhaps that's why the persistent migraines--because the rest of the world is annoying.

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

ita and I are of one moody today.

EVERYTHING is driving me crazy. I occasionally get like this where all background noise just makes my skin crawl. I am wearing headphones as a result.
