without much "flare"?

I don't understand the usage of the word 'enervate' in this context.

Thanks for illustrating how difficult lyric writing is.

Right because no other politician uses a teleprompter, blahblahblah. We get it.

I was wondering the same thing. It has to be, no?

Well, Royksopp seemed to like her enough to collaborate with her on the track "Girl and the Robot", which is one example of the many artists she's collaborated with (and not to be a dick, but one can like them both). And she is fantastic live.

My favorite quote about this movie
is from Roy Edroso: "The boredom of the privileged masquerading as dramatic conflict."

Me too. I actually thought Emilio was in danger of going home, or certainly Mila. This means Emilio makes to the final 3, I fear. If he was a better designer, maybe I could overlook that smug personality.

Hated
Emilio's dress! WTF? Ugh.

Discoing Santa
It's funny that either nobody has listened to it or can be bothered to tell the difference, but isn't Santa Claus is Discoing to Town Tonight recorded at the wrong speed?

Well fuck me running
Finally, another person featured on the A.V. club less funny than Michael Ian Black.

We saw "Bounce" in D.C., and it kinda killed me that we couldn't make it to NY to see "Road Show," but I'm glad the cast album is an improvement, although "Bounce" is pretty good. Thanks for throwing us theater fans the occasional bone.

I got a decent bootleg copy from Ebay. It really is for masochists only, though. Not as much fun to watch as it sounds. And where's Sextette?

Um, it wasn't an attempted firstie or lastie, but thanks for playing.

Glad to know you'll make a spot for it.
It really is one of the best sitcoms in recent memory.
