Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Thrive to spite them

My old job was pretty casual on the end of business casual. And Casual Fridays sometimes looked more like Casual Saturday. BUT very rarely did anyone come in from outside the office. There were a few people who pushed the boundaries of the regular dress code but it was relaxed. Generally people dressed up more on Mondays and then things got more casual as the week went on.

When I worked for the airport, we were the only City division that did not have Casual Fridays with jeans. We were only allowed khakis on Fridays, except women could wear denim skirts, but only skirts. Other division I think were allowed to wear khakis on other days.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sounds like a fun event, Hec! Very cool.

It just popped up on my Google Alert so I didn't know anything about it. I wonder what section he'll read...

Punishingly Intricate

I've been taping a bunch of Raising Hopes and watched the pilot and wasn't impressed. But I did the same thing with Community and now love love love it. So I should give it another shot!

Parks & Rec is another one I love (that wasn't so great at the start).

Oh my god there is a car outside with a horn that won't stop beeping! ... I guess that will be something I won't have to deal with as much when I move into the cube. Or the shredder truck that always parks right outside my window.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I wasn't thinking about The New Girl clearing the way for nerdy girls, just that Jess's description makes me think I might enjoy it more than I had thought. I've been FFing past all the commercials on kneejerk Zooey avoidance.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I'm at a University, so there isn't a dress code really. I tend to wear suits and business wear. But, it's summer, so I'm a little more slack about it. Today, I'm wearing a calf length black jersey skirt and an olive short sleeve shirt with black patent slides. I wouldn't wear this during the year without a cardigan and full shoes. But, it's summer AND Friday, so fuck it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I keep trying to watch Community, and I just can't.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I hadn't watched a sitcom in years (since Seinfeld was canceled, really) but now suddenly I've got Community, Parks & Rec, 30 Rock, and HIMYM on my plate. And The New Girl in the fall because IT'S ALL ABOUT ME if I were single. So basically it's about my sister.

I've never even heard of Raising Hope. What network is it on?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When I was at a university, there was a dress code. That's not fair.

Fox. It's Garret Dillahunt, Martha Plimpton, and Cloris Leachman. They are insane.
