More like from the past; I think I forgot to comment last week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Parks and Rec, anyone? I liked it! At least partly because I like municipal government, and spent a formative evening in my youth sitting in a meeting with my father where curb cuts were discussed in detail....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Dang! I forgot.
I think I'll like it because I'm the sort of person who reads the local government meeting minutes. 'Cause I'm all up in local business like that.

The Amy Pohler character is loopy, but she really cares about the town and her work, and I like that. I hope the show continues like that.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I did enjoy a couple of things about The Office last night. Michael, Pam, and Ryan trying to co-exist in a tiny office. Andy and Dwight competing over Erin.
But I'm not sure I like the show's overall direction. Putting Michael's office in the same building as Dunder Mifflin feels too much like a forced effort to keep the entire cast in the picture. Charles needs a better comic angle if he's going to stay around.

I'm not a huge fan of Amy Pohler's comedy, it's probably going to be a little too close to The Office for me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I work with Nick Offermans's brother who is in Parks, so we have TiVoed it and will be watching with great excitement. Nick's Bro is one the best guys ever and he and his wife are friends of ours. I have met Nick who is also a great person. Cool guy; he acts and also does professional woodworking, like building furniture and stuff.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
He plays the boss, right? My current favorite character. I suppose in Republican Indiana, as in Republican Texas, those are the guy who rise to management in public service.

I'm liking Parks and Rec so far. It's got a lot of potential. I was all excited to actually see where my local Mosquito Abatement Center is today, so I guess it's my kind of thing.
I was iffy on The Office until Pam made the sale. I was just so happy for her right then, I want Michael Scott Paper to make it somehow. And I do enjoy seeing Jim just do everything wrong, though if it goes on much longer I'm sure I won't.
