Punishingly Intricate

I can't get over how funny 30 Rock was last night with the references to (among other things) Star Wars (of course), To Kill a Mockingbird, AND, best of all, 227.

So genius.

Very brief while Alec Baldwin was impersonating Tracy's father. He mentioned getting $5 to bust up a "chifferobe" (that's TKAM, right?)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I think it was a nickel, and yes, chiffarobe = TKAM.

Has anyone found the Beavis and Butthead DVD with music videos included or did I dream of it's existence?

No comments on the Office?

I loved the song! Pam's animation! Dwight's Second Life Second Life!

I just finished watching this week's Office. My favorite part was Dwight and Andy and "Oh, D..." Dwight finally catches a break on the Angela front!

Oh, and Jim's guitar-playing, sports-writing, buff avatar - totally caught out by Pam. That was fantastic.

Enjoyed this one a lot.

We were sitting there going wow that second commercial was better! until it dawned on us: did they just say limitless paper for a paperless world ?

Yeah... I guess it was more style than substance.

Visually, the second ad was better, in a lo-fi sorta way. But the prose was completely of the non-sense-making.
