Ooooh! The jewelry sounds very pretty. I put earrings in for the first time in a while and ouch. I need to find my pearls so I can just put them in a for a while and leave them.
I am exhuastamalated but it is has rained. YAY rain.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

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.
The original (never-aired) pilot was...not. It's unfortunate because by the time the show got to broadcast, they'd made such vast improvements, but critics who were reviewing the show for fall preview issues didn't get to see that version. It's not that critics just didn't "get it" - it's that the pilot they were shown was really not very good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The only footing that needed to be found, I think, was in Jenna's character, when they re-cast.

There were also pacing issues. Mostly what I remember from the unaired pilot was that the timing was just off enough to make it uncomfortable instead of funny. It was right in the uncanny valley of humor.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I watched five or six episodes of 30 Rock. Tracy Morgan kept appearing. I gave up.

Oh, I didn't mean about the pilot (which of course I never saw). I just meant the early eps as aired.

But that means Grizz and Dot Com! Almost worth watching just for them.

I can't make it past Tracy to whatever buttery goodness lies within. Just can't. He appalls me.

I've discovered that the drive-up book return at the local library branch is a little too high for driving up in a Honda Civic.

What do I love more than arranging meetings in a foreign country without clear directives? Nothing.
Comedy gold, a good chunk of the people I need to schedule for the first meeting are all traveling today, so they cannot be reached.
on to other work.

This might be a question that limited people can help me with, but someone sent me an email saying this wetmen pic of a guy showering (bum showing, so NSFW) is not Dominic Monaghan as I'd thought, but instead Cillian Murphy from 28 Days Later. Opinion?
