Also, Matilda is officially going as Janet for Halloween. She and JZ have been busily sewing the vest and skirt.

Need the faux pearl earrings, and have to figure out how to do her hair.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Randomly reading comments from last week's Good Place and I started wishing they had filmed Eleanor & Tahani: Soul Mates. How long do you think that lasted before they figured it out? Twenty minutes? Twenty-five?

Jason and Tahani were great together and Tahani has a level of self awareness. Poor Eleanor. Her mom is the worst.

And Jason is not bad with the moral support!

Man, Ted Danson is SO GOOD.

I missed the end because Mom had to flip over to some reality show and when she changed it back Tahani was in bed. Did she and Jason sleep together?

They totally did. I mean, all we saw was the aftermath, of them in bed together. But yeah, they did.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I want a Jeanette.

Jason and Tahani together was sweet, but does that mean Janet never gets back together with Jason?

Go ahead and cry all you want. But you're gonna have to pay for that toilet plunger.

I watched last night's Will & Grace because Harry Connick Jr was on it (shut up, I love him even if he can't act worth a damn), and I remembered how torn I was about that show. I hate sitcoms with a laugh track (or live audience laughing; either way, the laughter is super intrusive and I cannot stand it), and I feel like the show tries WAY too hard to be funny. But there's also something really sweet about it that I find charming (possibly it's just the nostalgia). Though I doubt I'll make an effort to keep watching.

I watched the end of the episode and now I'm a bit confused. I thought Jason and Janet had trouble won't sex because they couldn't get what they were sipposed to do.

Yeah, neither Jason nor Janet knew what to do to have sex. But Tahani would certainly know what to do.

You know, the group really maps well onto the crew in the Wizard of Oz. Strange land, Eleanor is Dorothy, Jason is the Scarecrow, Tahani is the Tinman, Chidi is the Lion, Michael is the man behind the curtain, Janet is Toto or maybe Glinda, Vicki is the Wicked Witch.
