Rocket fueled, my dilznoofases!

Holy fuck…when did shaved Paul Giamatti start looking younger than me. I mean, I'm fat, short and…but…fuck! He's hot beef compared to my stringy, store bought cube steak.

That "That song doesn't usually last three hours…" line is one of my all time favorites. Perhaps because I had too many friends who tried too many times to get me interested in too many jam bands.

So the attempted Barbara character has gone from pretty thing that walks and looks confused to pretty thing that walks and does what men say no matter the dangers they present. Because heroes need damsels I guess.

Mmm…agency….

That applied to my first semester of school. Then we also got a bunch of grants and aid to cover most of my second semester, so I was finally able to get that ankle reconstruction I needed since I wouldn't have to work that summer. Then, two weeks after the surgery, they sent us an, "Oops. Sorry. Didn't carry the 2.…

Just enjoyed a nice binge of the first season. Besides the jarring reminder of what offices were like pre-internet with CRTs, phone banks, and still lingering non-ironic typewriters back then, I was, as always when watching this show, struck by the singular creation of the writers and especially Stephen Root with…

Jimmy's advertising rant is also one of the great moments of escalation and staging. From the quiet, but dark, "I'm sorry. What?" to the coming in and out of the office all the way up to "Kermit the damn Frog!"

"Dorks! Dorks! Dorks! Dorks! Dorks!"

I don't know…I sort of got a Dan Marino vibe from that guy.

I didn't read the article, but I hope it mentioned that song about how alienating modern society is and that God is a lie. Or, even better, that other song about how God is a lie and the alienation of modern society.

It was an ok episode. I got my laughs, for the most part. But I do have to single out the shot at the end when Holt is talking to Gina and out-of-focus Terry raises his hands in disbelief. Ok, I didn't have to — that would suggest a compulsion or need, neither of which I had — I just did because I have now done.

Because I enjoyed the joke so much, I'm not going to think too hard about how Louise knew to say, "He's simple and doesn't know his own strength."

The "night-marriage rules(or "rocks"…I guess it wasn't as memorable as I'm about to type it was)" line was pretty sweet.

I will always remember the awkward event where my mom found out that her older brother was a very visible and obvious attendee of their parents' wedding. He came out of the chute a couple months later. The wedding date was backdated a year, and all involved and attending agreed to the change.

His "wedding…with pants" was just another great Stephen Root moment.

I heard the egg line as "We don't know what kind of birth they turn in to!" Which was funnier and more revolting in my head.

Those first 18 minutes (I checked the clock, too, at that point) were remarkable. Honestly, they could have stood alone. I have no idea, despite liking the second episode, if it can continue to work as a series more than, say, eight episodes or so. However, despite taking more direct inspiration from Castaway, I…

When I was 16 a young woman started teaching at my dad's school. She was far from home and far from her fiancee. My parents sort of adopted her for that year she was out there to help her both start her career and do some of the parent shit for someone about to get married.
