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.

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.

Tracy Morgan kept appearing. I gave up.

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?

It's been a while since I've seen it, but I don't remember a scene like that in the movie, ita.

I've never watched 30 Rock either. I fell out of the sitcom habit a couple of years ago and never found my way back.

I've never seen 30 Rock either, but I don't watch much TV outside of news and fake news.

Did you know there's an ATM in Antarctica? Actually, two of them (one's a spare).

The World's Most Southerly ATM: An Interview With Wells Fargo's David Parker

DP: I think the experiment or experiments that they are doing in Antarctica were part of one of the universities--or [had] heavy involvement from the university--and the university, I think, originally approached us and asked us if we'd put an ATM down there, and we of course had a very similar reaction to the one you just described, which was "Why would we need an ATM in Antarctica?" And I believe now that McMurdo is all run by Raytheon Corporation, and so that's a little history of sort of how we got involved in it. But now, as I said, the cash is all recycled, it's done by the employees there that work at McMurdo Station…and the other ATM…we have two ATMs there….one is operational at a time. The other is one that they can sort of cannibalize, if you will, for parts or spare things that they need to make the other one live and operational. We do send a vendor down about once every two years to do some preventative hardware maintenance on both of the ATMs, to make sure they're operational, change out the belts and that kind of stuff, provide new cartridges…anything else hardware-wise that we would need to make sure that it runs. But as you can imagine getting somebody down there is quite a feat.
