He kind of makes me think of when Joss talked about seeing girls to play Willow and they were all crazy hair and pocket protectors because that's TV nerdy. And could the blonde be more generic?
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

So a friend who works for a recruiting company just sent a message saying that the are recruiting for a position. She said "It is a very exciting time with this particular technology company…they have a “Black Swan” moment in process, which they are trying to capitalize on and ramp up to seize"
I cannot figure out what "Black Swan" means in that context! Like, somehow the tech company equivalent of making a super cheesy movie an Oscar contender? I've asked her to explain but wanted to put it to you guys.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, this is making me laugh so hard, I can't even explain it.

Oh, msbelle, I feel your state-hate pain. I'm having it right now(about my state,) and it's NFG. Amazing that the answers to America's problems have been up some slut's uterus the whole time. They have made me a letter to the editor writer...I thought I had fifty years before I became that grouchy and irrelevant. sigh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The thing I always remember about Chevy Chase is that a very long time ago, he and Dan Ackroyd were promoting a movie they made together on some talk show (I want to say Leterman, but it might have been something else), and in the middle of the interview, the host asked how it was working together, and Dan Ackroyd suddenly got completely serious and said "I'll never make another movie with him again." Followed by dead silence, because you could tell he was serious.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
30 Rock has been making me sad this season, because I feel like every ep is nothing but a constant stream of Liz-is-ugly jokes. (This week's was a refreshing exception - it wasn't that funny, but at least it wasn't half an hour of laughing at how disgustingly unattractive Tina Fey is.) NBC right now is all about Community and Parks & Rec for me.

Ha! Thanks, Tom! I was wondering because my friend is not super pop culture savvy.
