Sorkin made me care about people that worked on a television sports show long before I watched any sports, so I still have hope for Studio 60.

the second episode of Studio 60, though I fell asleep and missed the end.

The end is worth catching, a funny musical payoff, but it was very weird to see it the same day that John M. Ford died.

Did Sorkin do a G&S thing on Sports Night too?

I got a few minutes into the pilot of S60 and had to stop. Not sure why. It and ep 2 are still on the TiVo, because I guess that was justa strange mood thing.

The best advice I can give from my own experience is to get very methodical about certain essential items, such as putting your keys in the same place every time

But I haven't moved my apartment in over a year!

Yeah, I know what you mean. I just don't see myself out the other side of the fog any time soon.

Overslept this morning. First time in years I've done that on a work day. Not sure how I managed it, since the alarm was set correctly.

Despite waking up at the time I usually leave (and almost 2 hours late) I made it to my desk a little earlier than I usually do. I maintain a lot of fat in my schedule, but managing to be showered, dressed, have lunch packed and pack a krav bag in 20 minutes? Surprised even me. Perhaps the fog worked in my favour.

Off to read the Heroes whitefont. Didn't love it. Will watch ep 2.

liked what I saw of the second episode of Studio 60, though I fell asleep and missed the end.

Oh, Sean. You'll have to find a way to see the end. It was brilliant!

Is that an occupational hazard for you, Sean?

Snerk. Occasionally, yes.

See, I think it's fascinating. But mostly it's the character interaction that I dig, so it could be set almost anywhere, and as long as it was well-written and the characters were 3-dimensional and complex, I'd be happy.

This is what's keeping me interested. It's not really anything about the show, it's just the underlying premise that bugging me in a sort of background way. And I remind myself that Sports Night was about a TV show, too, including the executives.

I still plan on watching it, I just hope that niggling feeling of "WHO CARES!???" goes away.

I'm sure I'll catch the Bravo rebroadcast. Sleep just caught up with me with a vengeance last night at about 10:30.

A big part of my fascination, I'll admit, is the fact that it has a vocally Christian character who isn't a holier-than-thou wingnut. I'm very interested to see how that plays out and develops, as well as (I hope) her backstory.

She's one of my favorite characters on that show. I'm really liking her, and hope she sticks around. She's not as good at delivering Sorkin-speak as some of the other characters, which worries me a little (though she's not as gawdawful as Moira Kelley was on WW), but I hope she sticks around.

I am Super Repetative Guy this morning.

Well, they repeat Studio 60 on Bravo throughout the week.

That'll be helpful for Super Repetitive Guy.
