Damn, I haven't thought about that show in forever and it was one of the best.
It was genuinely remarkable-- it was one of the few shows that didn't just focus on the young, pretty kids having their romances, but showed honest-to-goodness grown-up relationships and at how love evolves within the scope of a long relationship, good and bad, and at having to have childish illusions destroyed in order to see your parents as real, living, breathing adults who have feelings and emotions and aren't ready to be put into cold storage just because their kids are the ones experiencing love for the first time.
sniff ... there were a lot of shows that got cut off too early (and, yes, Firefly is conspicuously absent). Do they have a list of shows that went on waaaaay too long?

And why is
Angel
on that list? It had five seasons.
I definitely wish some of those shows had longer runs (
Arrested Development
and
Veronica Mars
for sure), but the only ones that crushed me were
Wonderfalls
and
Boomtown,
especially
Boomtown.
I was so invested in those characters.
Profit should have been on that list too. Mmmmmmmm. Profit.
I just had to go to a meeting in which I had to mingle and drink beer.
Well, the beer-drinking was not compulsory, but it was
free
and
right there.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Hil!
Never developed a taste for beer.(In fact, I think I drank it once, when visiting Columbia for grad school interviews. Didn't change my opinion of the stuff.)
My alcoholic beverage of choice in college was Fuzzy Navels. Yeah, I like the girly drinks...

That would indicate that it was, in fact, compulsory. Was it good?
Was it good?
Generally it's pretty good, yeah. German and Belgian imports, some local stuff from Bell's and Goose Island, and sometimes even home brew.
My poor kitty is still disturbed by the wet carpet and all the stuff that got moved around.
Now to see if the electronics of my violin got soaked....
OK, off to class I go....
