oh ita, that sounds like a bad day.

I feel like I should be doing more, but I have no desire to do it.

Kristen Schaal, from Flight of the Conchords, got a gig as a commentator on The Daily Show.

I saw her last night. I love her on Flight, but I'm not sure she has the right persona to be a fake commentator.

Yeah, I was ready to love her when I saw her sitting there, but I'm not sure the piece really worked.

That is my prevailing emotion right now, especially when it comes to cleaning and laundry.

Susan, that is a difficult position.

Makes me wonder (and makes me think back to JZ among others)--management knows we lie, right? I'm not talking big bucks embezzlement, or anything. Just little white lies to tidy everything over. I mean, the companies lie to us, but it seems that managerial expectation of blunt honesty doesn't fall totally in line with where I'd give it.

Okay, that wasn't clear.

Five year plans and "what's your biggest flaw?"--they know that we're going to lie here, right? And that we can't be honest about organisational flaws they way they seem to be asking because we have to protect us--because someone has to.

thanks, dcp. i restarted and it seems to be working just fine now.

ItvN, i made my sister sit down and watch the Friday Night Lights pilot with me. she pretended to not be too into it, but she was making "ack" noises when the boys were getting pummeled. i think she will fall in love with the show. she claims she has enough tv shows to watch, but really, how many is enough?

Go Schaal!

Of all the people from that Mee-ow cast, she's not the one I would have expected to have taken off (unlike Seth Meyers, who was obviously going places), but I'm really happy for her all the same. She totally deserves it.

(I so wish I could have been at the FotC concert up at NU when she opened for them with this year's Mee-ow troupe. Sometimes I really miss those guys.)

Yeah, I think at this point they're just assuming that you should have a basic within-acceptable answer, and it's not so much what you say as having one. If you don't have a blah blah blah answer, what's wrong with you? Which is annoying, but whatever.

tiggy, that is always a good thing. Have we heard anything about whether FNL will be coming back next season yet?

amyloid means:

starchy

freerice.com [link] has me in its grasp and wont let go. My son showed it to me and I thought, "pfft, how can this be addictive?" That was two hours ago. VOCABULARY and charity? Is the guy that made this a buffista?

eta: damn, i lost a level. The answer was "starchy"

OMG TODAY REFUSES TO DIE.

So, what are people doing this weekend?

I'm playing a vocab game online so I guess my answer is nothing. ;)
