Among working class white guys? Yeah, I'd say so. Except it's not in the middle of a sentence so much as between one sentence and the next, the way other people would say "So, like," as a topic transition and to give themselves a moment to manufacture a grammatical utterance.
Oh, I mean, I want to know if it's only a Boston thing. Because I've more or less stopped doing it, at least at work, but it's still my natural inclination.
Friday Night Lights can stop making me cry any time now. Or, you know, not. Jesus, that's some good TV.
shrift, how'd you survive the first 5 minutes?
( Lost my shit for
that boy and that girl
I don't know if that's the first place I've seen that addressed on teevee, but it didn't feel trite or Afternoon Special. Curious to me.)
What about this? Or this?
Ailleann, I like them both! I think I like the first one better for Kris. This is going to be a hard decision, I can tell!
I need to start watching FNL, aren't I?
I always have trouble picking projects for other people. That's why I usually don't end up cross-stitching things for gifts.
However, my next project will be a special request. A friend made a joke about having something to hang in his house that says "Home Is Where The Booze Is." Little does he know...
I refuse to take on any more shows, damnit!
And will I get in trouble for reading Shrift's porn now while I'm still at the office? They can't blame me for reading porn when I'm here at 8:15, can they?
shrift, how'd you survive the first 5 minutes?
I don't know. I was clutching a pillow and making keening noises.
Also, could I love Matt Saracen more right now? I don't think I could.
Matt Damon is hottest when he is being most Boston, imo. Of course, bear in mind, I come from a big fuckin' sunny metropolis where nobody sounds like anything.
We find him exotic, almost.
FNL: Me neither. It was just a beautiful episode. And what about
Landry/Riggins
? Who saw that coming?
Top Chef: Wow. I'm amazed. First,
do I need to think that thuggish Mikey was a construct? A plan? Or is the new Chef Michael - just some sort of error? And could Ilan be more ungracious? And thank goodness Betty is gone. I've been ready for her to be gone for WEEKS.
