Ha. I was amused last night at how long it took from thread creation to the first post alone! I am the midnight thread creator what creates at midnight.

Anyway, hi! I am here to say that the SO & I have declared that being on vacation and relaxing is better than being at home and working really hard, so we're going to leave working really hard to the people that like it better. That's ok, right?

Today: Petroglyph!

sounds good to me Liese!

I found a job to apply for and I did not go watch tv, so YAY me!

we're going to leave working really hard to the people that like it better

Wait, who are these people? Can I hire them? For, preferably, no money, because according to this plan, I will be on vacation ALL THE TIME and they like it anyway?

so, Doc Hollywood 2011?

Aside from the blatant ripoffs, there are a lot of similarities with these pilots. Like, there are a few pilots that have to do with supernatural police work, or "imaginary" characters in the real word.

I am absurdly grateful that it's not filming in DC.

Apparently it's a woman's world. Pilot season told me so.

New doctor is very nice. So was the lady in the waiting room that complimented my steel toed mary janes.

Seriously? When was the last time airline travel was glamorous? Bah. It's unclear if it's set in the 50s/60s; if it is, we get more sexism a la Mad Men. If it's not, it's just blah.
