Neil Patrick Harris hosted the evening. He came out onstage, started reading from some 3x5 index cards and halfway through the sentence, "Last night I was just thinking..." he stopped and looked really confused. He turned the card over. Checked his pockets. And then shouted into the wings his card was blank and he didn't know what to say next. Out walked a red shirted writer carrying a WGA strike sign and the whole place errupted into applause. Neil Patrick tried to carry on, calling on some dancers to vamp as he tried to come up with some material. I wish I had my camera at the ready. It was priceless. Keep your eyes peeled! Hopefully something will show up on YouTube or Flickr!
The L.A. Stage Alliance Ovation Awards.
Finally watched my tape of this week's HIMYM and it was great. I can't believe that nobody's mentioned it. I loved how they used the "spoiler" stuff to get to the real issue: Marshall's password. And all the spoiler faults were things that the characters actually do. (For the most part. I'm not sure that Lily's loud chewing was ever apparent before.)

It was awesome. It cracked me up because I recently learned that my mother's "loud" chewing apparently drove my brother crazy. I never noticed it.
In all fairness to Lily, she was eating loud food like pretzels and celery. I mean, it's not like she was loud eating a doughnut.
Awww.
Office fans Christmas fund. They're trying to raise money for the 102 crew members who were laid off.

It's nothing we don't already know.
So, Office last night: too much pathos or what?
I was watching from the hall on at least half the deposition scenes, but I thought it came together well in the end. Still, it was always a relief when they switched over to the ping-pong B-plot.
