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.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

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

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.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
"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.

New York Magazine has a great interview with Stephen Colbert in this month's issue. If you read it, make sure you look at the last page--it's a list of Stephen's suggested talking points for both parties' candidates on the current major issues.
On Prayer in Schools: Democrats--There is no place in public school for God, no matter how you choose to define Him … or not define Him … or Her … or It … or Them … or … We? Republicans--The public schools need our prayers, because they’re sure not getting our money.

Somehow I pictured Dana in her room that night talking to her mirror or something in a voice going "Hi. My name is Pixley. My parents thought I was so sweet they gave me a name that sounds like candy." Not that I know anyone that petty or bitter. Much. But Casey is cute. And she's already coming in second to Danny anyway. That can do things to a person. And "Pixley" is empirically something to make fun of.
