The fabulous Alan Sepinwall is doing this thing on his blog where he's watching every single episode of Freaks and Geeks and gushing about it, all professional TV-critic style.  So far he's up to episode 1 and it looks like it's going to be a very enjoyable series of postings.  I respect Alan Sepinwall so much that when reading his columns in the ( Read more... )

My Sopranos Theory:

Tony is not dead, he's just kind of miserable and will be for the rest of his life.  We don't know how long that is and neither does he and that's the whole point.  Ginger cats are adorable and everyone should get one.  MMMMMM ONION RINGS.

Work is even more unbearable than usual as it is keeping me from my true vocation, decluttering the house.  Here are a few more wacky things I found stuffed in bags inside boxes in my bedroom closet last night:

• passport
• birth certificate

I'm starting a massive de-cluttering project at home, which I've attempted before, but something feels different this time and it might actually pan out. My house is like an archaeological dig for people studying the 90s. I found a postcard from my sister where she asks me if I've got special plans to watch the last Seinfeld (I did) and, in my ( Read more... )

To the lady working in the couch department: oh, damn, I am so sorry.  I did that thing that's so awful when my customers do it -- reacting like a pouty little child when you explained that what I wanted was not available.  I was kind of rude.  I'm just so emotionally invested in getting my poor old discontinued couch recovered ( Read more... )

So I finally saw the series finale of Life on Mars, and, hm.  That was kind of odd, wasn't it?  Not what I was expecting at all.  I still love the show, but that just wasn't right, and I'm probably reading too much into it, but it almost seemed like the actors themselves didn't believe it.  I sure didn't believe it.

I gave up completely on The ( Read more... )

"This is just like Sex and the City!  I'm Samantha, and you're Charlotte and you're the lady who watches it at home!"

I'm stranded at home waiting for a crucial household repair.  And I'm usually not superstitious but I think I might have tempted fate by exuberantly singing along with Frank Zappa's Flakes too many times over the last couple of days.  In other Sheik Yerbouti (Dancin' Fool, specifically)-related pondering I found the perfect reference question -- ( Read more... )

If I start posting real-person slash about the dudes who work at my local Walgreen's, here's why:

Older dude holding a loaf of bread greets the two younger dudes in Walgreen's uniforms:  "Hey!  How you guys doing?"
First younger dude: "Fine, just fine!"  To his co-worker: "Hey, you ought to tell him about what we did yesterday, on that bench?  That ( Read more... )

3rd week in a row, he asks me: "There's no Doctor Who OR Battlestar Galactica on tonight. What are we going to DO?"
