Did anyone (else) watch The Nine?

I did and enjoyed it very much. I'm worried that two flashback shows scheduled back-to-back (flashback to flashback?) might be too much though.

ita - the only thing people have not mentioned. Ex-employers, when it is a lay-off, and no animus is involved on their part , are often anxious to do small favors if asked. So for example, you could contact an ex-boss you are favorable terms with and ask permission to come in to work to user their laser for printing of resumes, things of that nature. Sop basically if there is some minor favor they can do you don't hestitate to ask them. The worst they can say is "no", but there is an excellent chance they will say yes - there are all sorts of incentives for them to do so. And with only giving two weeks severence they sure as heck owe you. And I'm with the people who say keep up your gym membership.

Studio 60: I cringed at the Strindberg-- seriously, he couldn't go with a Friends ref?-- almost as much as the Commedia dell'arte references where they repeatedly mispronounced the dramatic style that S60 test audience was apparently too stupid to understand.

Also on Studio 60 re: Sorkin plargarizing himself. The thing with the bat and the number reminded me of the episode in Sports Night where Casey (or was it Dan?) picked up the woman while she was on a date with some other dude who was too dumb to realize that Casey's (Dan's ?) name and number on a cocktail napkin wasn't just an autograph.

Who the hell is Strindberg? Apparently theatre is a big gap in my knowledge.

I think that was Casey, Sue.

erika, was it Pixley that he picked up?

Yeah, and I gotta echo everyone that heard about that and say "Pixley?" Even though the whole walking-and-talking? A bit tough to manage for me.

"Pixley? Her name is Pixley?"

And I meant to echo whoever said they liked Ricky and Ron, cuz I do too. If they didn't mean to hire some guys who seem like mensches, they probably shouldn't have hired Handler and Jacott.
