I never thought I'd be hearing the term "priapism" on the tv several times a night.

I learnt it from TV. And not even Nip/Tuck. The Professionals, it was.

I think I read somewhere when Helms' Office gig was announced that he would be doing occasional Daily Show appearances.

Yeah, phew is probably better, Jesse. Still, she is kind of happily bubbly and more real than Melrose .

I love having Top Chef rerun immediately at 11 p.m. because I can watch Medium at 10. Again I say, I must get TiVo someday.

Then again, I could probably stand to watch a lot less TV since I dreamed about Lorelai and Rory Gilmore the other night.

The real singing Nun left the church and moved to San Francisco where she became an infamous S&M Madame named Sister Mary Quite Contrary and was well used by members of The Bohemian Grove. Later she became a heroin addict and morbidly obese.

Wikipedia disagrees:

Her musical career over, Deckers opened a school for autistic children in Belgium with her companion of ten years, Annie Pécher. In the early 1980s, the Belgian government claimed that she owed back taxes; she countered that the money was given to the convent and therefore exempt from taxes. Lacking any receipt to prove her donations to the convent and her religious order, Deckers ran into the heaviest of financial problems. One last attempt to resume her singing career failed in 1982. She and Pécher both died by an overdose of barbiturates and alcohol, and were buried together.

OK, that's good.

AmyLiz, earlier tonight, I told a coworker that if she ever wants to talk about a TV show, she should come to me, because odds are, I watch it. Sad? Maybe. But in this case, she was talking about HIMYM, and I was all over that!!

Wikipedia disagrees:

That's not inconsistent with my story! She was a dominatrix, and she did heroin, and she did have a lesbian lover and she did the autistic school and she died mixing drugs and alcohol.

I just neglected the parts that weren't prurient.

What I find sad about me is that I know stuff about shows I don't even watch. Osmosis, I guess. Being here, listening to other people chat. My brain is full of useless information about fictional people.

Uh, you're a novelist.

In tragic news, I realized today that my office could have put together a brilliant team for the World Series of Pop Culture, but it's too late to try out in New York. We coulda been a contenda!

Dear Certain Friends Of Mine,
Thanks for asking -- or rather, telling -- me what I wanted to do for my birthday, and when. Apparently what we do for your birthdays is determined by what is most convenient for you, and what we do for my birthday is determined by what is most convenient for you. You're certainly consistent. Speaking of which, the past two years suggest that if I do something with you for my birthday, I will wind up even more annoyed with you both. And I don't want to be, so let's just skip the festivities this year.

Dear Different Friend Of Mine,
Every year, a week or two before my birthday, you email or call and say, "Hey, want to go grab dinner or something for your birthday? Let me know." We eat, maybe we watch a DVD, and I have a good time. Thank you for reassuring me that I'm really not all that high-maintenance.
Signed,

Dear Anyone,
Do I want these shoes? I can't decide if they're cute or ugly. They're like pugs.
