And, dammit, I want to participate in some sort of limited game night even if my head is bleeding out my ears.
Maybe the game could involve dimming the lights and cutting your hair.
Willow: Happy hunting. Buffy: Wish me monsters.

Paris is a department of France?
Yes. Number 75. It used to be Seine, but then that was broken up to create departments 91-95, and Paris kept the original number (Fr. departments are numbered alphabetically and kids used to have to memorize them back in the day). These numbers are also the first two digits in zip codes.
Obscure music fact of the day: Lots of French rap songs talk about living in the 93 (like area codes are used here), because that is essentially the Paris hood.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Okay, I only watched The IT Crowd because Ple requested it at Yuletide but the episode I just watched ("The Work Outing") was freakin' hilarious.
Sure, Gay! a Gay Musical was good (with songs like: "I'm a Friend of Dorothy" and "I Love Willies") but that wasn't even close to the funniest part.

Also, on the bon/comedy front: we have borrowed 30 Rock S1 from P-Cow and it makes JZ laugh like a highly amused person.
Me also.
It's interesting that critics have argued that it took the show a while to find its footing because it's very funny from the get-go.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
(1) I agree it's very funny from the pilot on, and think the CW that it wasn't is a big lie from people who really should know better. Speaking of people who should know better...(2) why hadn't you seen it yet? it's been on for years, won multiple emmys for best comedy? Come on! (3) Parks and Rec this season is the show of the cognoscenti, so look forward to talking about that in 2013!

YOU have it!! I was just looking at the shelf yesterday and couldn't remember who had it. Glad you're both enjoying it.

Uh, show coeval with toddler. All viewing delayed by years.
You'll see.

The best thing about 30 Rock? It has been available via Netflix streaming. Yay, streaming!
Okay, I only watched The IT Crowd because Ple requested it at Yuletide but the episode I just watched ("The Work Outing") was freakin' hilarious.
And that's from one of the less hilarious seasons!
Occasionally, when watching The IT Crowd, which I do at least once yearly, at times more, I wind up struck by what a pretty, pretty, pretty man Richard Ayoade is. Because, damn. He's beautiful.

It's worth posting the video how Letterman, Conan, Kimmel and Ferguson all completely and hilariously tore the fuck out of NBC/Leno tonight: [link]

Our wings are not tired.
Lots of healing ~ma for Alex and his GF. Transplants are an awesome thing.
Yay Epic! I'm glad to hear your mom is finally home.
The late night stuff is so very entertaining.
Early morning reports out of Haiti are very grim. A lot of the Haitian kids I know are here living with various extended family members because their parents sent the kids here. DH was texting with his boys all night.
