"Waiting for God"--crotchety old folks in a retirement community. Pretty funny and sometimes wrenching.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

everyone says that starting with the Charlize episodes is the worst ever,
Everyone is right - Charlize was an unusual low point for that show. (It wouldn't surprise me to hear that the writers figured out about halfway through that the plot was a dud, but had to finish it anyway because Charlize was contracted for X # of eps.)

ION, Dylan has discovered how to launch Plants vs Zombies on my iPhone. May he and Owen never meet.
[eta: He's not very good at it, but it doesn't seem to bother him. Every time the zombies get to the house, he says "I'm going to play the zombies again!"]

Connie, that's about what Charlie said. He LOVES it. I'll give it a try. But I hated Golden Girls, so I hope it's not like that.

No, these old folks know they're old, and they're definitely raging against the night.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I heard great things about the British series The IT Crowd and tried two episodes of it yesterday and was quite unimpressed. Does it pick up? Or is this the pace?

What's sad is that CZJ is only 40.
Well, that's what she claims. Isn't she one of the ones notorious for shaving years off her official age?

They left me cold. I just want to smack everyone around. Really hard. REALLY hard.
