What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Did anyone catch the woman from Russia on The Daily Show last night quoting from Angel?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Haven't watched it yet, but I'll be sure to pay close attention.

I just watched the Angel moment on TDS (you couldn't miss it!). In conjunction with that, I don't think I've liked Jason Jones more than I have in the segment tonight because he seemed so authentically pissed at the attitudes he was seeing that he couldn't keep up his usual dickhead persona. I get why him and Sam B are together now more than ever. Bless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, that was so great.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Any other fans of Comedy Central's @ Midnight? It's kind of a second cousin to Whose Line Is It Anyway? Three comedians improvise to the latest weirdness in social media.

Example: Amazon review pans Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, but the reviewer clearly doesn't know anything. (For example, reviewer talks about a totally lame cover of that song from The Wonder Years.) Comedians, write a response to that reviewer. (Also popular: Here's a weird Craigslist ad. Respond as someone interested.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The first couple of minutes of that show up at the end of my Colbert recordings, and they seem amusing enough. The ads with Chris Hardwick saying "Colbert Nation, please don't change the channel, watch our show" crack me up.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Hardwick is a good game show host. He keeps the show moving, and he's funny on his own without overshadowing the comedians.

Well, HIMYM certainly made me want some bacon.

As usual in Glee, the music was far better than the so-called plot. My highlight -- Artie and Tina covering En Vogue. It shouldn't have worked, but it did. (Bonus points for understanding "Every Breath You Take" better than the average wedding planner, even if it didn't quite work in context.)
