HIMYM and The Office need better time slots. I haven't been able to watch either one since the writer's strike. I miss them!
My food is problematic.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I always enjoy it when Barney suffers. Does he still have slaps left?
Two more!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Two more!
my word, I just had an involuntary fist-pump-"yes!" reaction. I'm currently awaiting disc one of season 3 from Netflix.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Small note on your weecap, Cindy - it's not actually Bruce's "Jersey Girl," it's Bruce singing Tom Waits's "Jersey Girl," about the Jersey girl to whom he's been married for ever and ever (IIRC from Hec's research on his Waits book, he wrote it right after meeting her at a New Year's Eve party; he just knew immediately, even after that brief encounter, that she was important and songworthy).
Thanks to Hec's book, that song just makes me puddle up and so I counted the entire episode as a win, but it may only be because of the song.
Stuff I loved without a song prompting me: Marshall's newfound Jersey love. Jason Segal always comes across onscreen as such a big flumpy Saint Bernard/black bear/looming but harmless galoot of your choice. Setting Marshall free in a warehouse store is so exactly like taking a St. Bernard puppy out of a studio apartment into a big grassy park that it just makes me grin and grin.

You never have to hold a cup ever again, for the rest of your life.

What is even happening?
Huh, I never knew that, JZ. Thanks! Usually I look up the music, even when I know it, but I didn't figure I had to do that with Bruce.
I did love Marshall in the PriceCo and I love that he was hugging olives while hating New York and loving New Jersey. It fits in really well with what we saw of him with his family, when he and Lily went home to visit.

Ann, that's a ferret.
A couple of funny moments in last night's Office, but it seemed to have the same uncomfortably serious mood as the dinner party episode.
It was nice to see things built around a minor character like Meredith, who you don't see much. On the other hand, Jim's use of the stopwatch on Dwight fell flat.
Did anyone else notice that it was Dwight who worked "cuckold" into the loaf of bread discussion? Jaw drop moment in light of his relationship with Angela.

Really? I loved it. Especially the BSG scene.

Yeah, I thought it was hilarious.

Punishingly Intricate
I laughed out loud at Michael tackling Jim. The look on Jim's face!
