Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

BTW, nobody at work seemed to recognize my Greendale Community College T-shirt,

That happens to me. Well, not at work, but my messenger bag has coincided with me turning around and catching people laughing. It's either my panties showing or like minds.

Wait no, one thumbs up from the lady at the register at the barber. Then again, they're kinda painfully hip, so one of them would recognise it.

Is anyone watching the Virgin show? Is it as great as the ads say (but do not seem to show).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Jane the Virgin? It's pretty delightful.

Can you explain how she's a pregnant virgin?

I don't remember what the spoiler policy is in here, so:

She is involved with a mix-up at her ob-gyn's, and is inseminated.

It's very much a telenovela. With a fabulous narrator.

Hmm. Maybe I'll look. Pretty sure if that's aired, that's blackfont.

Always Anti-fascist!

It's pretty funny. And perfectly cast.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Ran across some old eps of the Jack Benny show. Comic genius. One sketch in particular, in which Jack crashes a set where Jimmy Stewart is filming his new movie, was beyond priceless.

I am also convinced that Stephen Colbert took at least a little of his persona from Jack.

Is anyone watching blackish? I've watched a few eps, and they just repeated the "nod" episode this week--that concept I really liked, because it's TRUE. There's a nod. I'm the least African American black citizen, and I know there's a nod.

Disabled people do it too, ita. Although I had to learn that from getting one a few times...I didn't have a family example for it.

Is anyone watching blackish?

I am, but I'm behind as I am with most TV. The fourth episode (Crazy Mom) was pretty great, and I think it might be hitting its stride because Crime and Punishment (episode five) made me laugh my head off.
