I seem to be down to tortillas, cheese, frozen spinach, yogurt, and Lean Pockets. Looks like quesadillas for dinner and maybe some yogurt later.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Um, wow. This really happened last year, and no one noticed: [link]
'Til Death turned into the weirdest show on television last season, desperately tossing post-modern fourth-wall breaking, weird gimmicks, aggressively unfunny stunt-casting, and storylines that more or less mocked their own existence at the audience...
Perhaps realizing that the role of Ally (Joy and Eddie's daughter) had been played by four actresses over the course of the series (including Krysten Ritter!) while the role of boyfriend/fiancee/husband Doug had been played by only Sharp, the series embarked on an astoundingly bizarre story arc: It had Doug realize he was a character in a sitcom whose wife kept getting recast, then sent him to psychotherapy to make peace with this fact.
...
Further compounding problems and making the show seem even more hallucinatory was Fox's decision to screen the 15 episodes they never aired from season three along with the season four episodes, so the show would ping-pong randomly between a series about a bitter married couple having strained fights and living with JB Smoove to a weird, hallucinatory nightmare of suburban life filtered through the perception of a stoned, possibly mentally ill manchild. Ally would be played by a blonde in one episode (from season three), then a brunette in another, then another brunette in yet another. Plus, Fox aired the episodes all out of order. Doug and Ally's wedding aired before their engagement, and the birth of their first child—intended to be the series finale—was followed by three more rejected third season episodes. The show itself seemed to give up as well, tossing weird, random sound effects and obnoxiously loud music over the top of establishing shots or having a recurring plot where guest star Martin Mull is in a dom-sub relationship with a woman who may or may not be a psychopath.
I am apperantly at a bar playing Debbie Gibson!?! How did my life get to this point. Clearly I should have been a nicer person today.
bon, if that is true, I feel morally obligated to find DVDs and alcohol and people to consume them with.

Totally.
Maybe Brad Garrett starring means even the executives of the network it's airing on don't tune in for the show?
Were people aware that you can semi-custom design Converses for just $65 each?!?! I have got (non-matching) Jack Purcells designed for both mac and myself for when I have extra cash for shoes. SO FUN!
"But in this ever changing world in which we're living..."
I'm nearly certain it's "But IF this ever changing world..." No clue if it's "we're livin'" or "we live in," but the full line is "But if this every changing world in which we (whatever) makes you give it a cry, then live and let die."
My problems was never with the word that comes after "but." I don't care whether it's "in" or "if." My problems is that it sounds like, as McCartney was quoted above, the rest of the line is "...this ever-changing world in which we live in...." No. A prepositional phrase doesn't take a preposition at the beginning and the end of the phrase. Meh.
ION, Moody Blues concert tonight, which seemed grammatical. And they rocked out. The drummer told the crowd that he recently turned 69. I told The Boy, "I hope that when I'm 69 I'm still rocking out." He said, "Still? You don't rock out NOW."
Damn. Busted.
And now it is late (and technically my birfday, as it is after midnight), and I am going to bed, since I just successfully whored for birthday wishes.
Happy birthday, Teppy!
(First?)
Man, was *I* ever sly!
(Thank you! Big 3-9. Feels like 38.)
