I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Oh, y'all rock!

It's just a regular old mailbox on my porch, with no lock or anything. So anyone could take the mail out, which makes me nervous.

Get online (heh) if possible and check your accounts, credit and bank. If the USPS isn't still holding your mail, I'd do a credit check. My friendly neighborhood postwoman Angie railed at me to put my name on my box (communal mail area, but locked boxes) and went on and on about identity theft, so she made me paranoid about that. Usually neighbors pick up my mail in my absence, but temp USPSers have an annoying habit of leaving mail in an unsecured bin. Angie kinda hates them. She's big on Rules.

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

Now, every time I have brunch, I'm going to be scouring the room, looking for male platonic friends there together with no girls.

Heh. This does not work for me.

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

Dear Aaron Sorkin: Stop being so Aaron Sorkin-y. Seriously.

Well you know, not that he would, but if anyone could write a show about the UN and make it insightful, tense, and surprisingly funny...

Not that he would, mind you. But he could. Just so's we're all clear on that.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

There's a story about Bindi Irwin getting her own wildlife show, and my first thought was, "In twenty years it's going to be 'Dr. Bindi Irwin, famed conservationist and daughter of the legendary Steve Irwin.'" Dad would be proud.

That's been in the works for a little while. In fact, IIRC, Steve died while filming a segment for her show.

Here the talk is about whether there's too much pressure being put on her to live up to her dad's example.

Just skipped like a mad thing to say that I am utterly amazed by those of you who consistently work lots of overtime. This day has been OMGCrazyBusy, and I'm just getting out of here after nearly 11 hours with about 1 five minute break. If I had to do this regularly, I think I would just die. Ack!

You know what really sucks? I'm partially exempt, which means I get no overtime. Blerg.

p.s. Studio 60 is probably my favorite new show this year.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Heroes is starting to pique my interest. I wonder how far they'll be able to go with the non-linear before the network flips out.

Art Crawl!!!

GG: No matter what you may think of Christopher -- he really plans a good date, doesn't he ?

The tone of this episode felt off. . .not sure why. And really -- they've got alot of the same staff as they did last year. (I was noticing.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

My feelings for Studio 60 keep getting stronger: (1) I like the characters, particularly Harriet, and I think the character stuff is the show's strong point, because (2) the sketches are NOT funny. They need to stop showing them.
