And then the chase across the train cars, which is one of my favorite shots in the whole thing….

I'm not even kidding, just reading those words gave me the AUC-shivers.

…because they'd go for the kitten-puppy love story angle instead of realizing a box of puppies is interesting enough on its own.

Maybe they mean January 2 like they meant October 19th?

And I'm going to be out of the country that whole month! Which means I'm going to miss, like, most of its run! Any Swiss Communists out there? If so, can they hook me up with a stream that works there?!?

Ooh! That reminds me. Yesterday on the train going to work, I saw someone watching Rules of Engagement on her phone. Which means not only is this a real live person who watches the show, but she actually goes to the trouble of getting episodes on her phone. I almost wanted to take a picture….

I guess I've never understood how it's any different than any other conversation here that may or may not interest me. I don't really care about music or sports discussions, but I just ignore those, too. How is talking about a TV show substantively different or less relevant to this place?

This. Exactly.

I actually really enjoyed the SNL liveblogs when we used to do it here. I enjoy talking to you guys about SNL. But back then, I could participate and watch because I'd join on my own time—commercial breaks, musical guest, etc. In TC whatever was said about a sketch 2 minutes ago is long gone by then.

Yeah, that's why I don't join the SNL Tinychats. As fast as it moves, I can either participate or watch the show. I can't imagine trying to follow anything with a longer format than a sketch with a TC liveblog at all.

*makes the noise people make when they're offended in all the movies that Annie rents*

Not to be contrarian, but it's not slowing the page down for me at all, so I'm wondering if it's on your end?

I so feel your pain. Though now that I live in Chicago, I am very, very unaware that it is baseball season. It's quite glorious.

Yeah I have the same problem on TLo, which I now realize uses NuDisqus which is…disappointing.

Can one of them be super-successful in her career, but just can't seem to find the right guy?!?

Yikes.

What did he do?

I actually used that to my advantage when I was a (super-farsighted, astigmatic) little kid who was super-shy but also liked theatre and dance. Before I got contacts, I'd perform without my glasses and it really did make it easier to not get stage fright!
