Oh, it's all going to be in a book someday. That's why I'm adamant about archiving my old posts now. "Man and hour"?

The Last American Virgin
“But I’m not on the pill.”
“Me neither.”

Tex
“I tell you what, that punk would have killed you all if he'd had the chance. You're either real brave, real stupid or real lucky.”
“I've been hearing that all my life.”

The Week in Journalism
More jockeying for power among my editor, my co-worker and our manager. I couldn’t figure out what it reminded me of until I listened to Dreamgirls last night. There’s enough drama there for a post of its own, but my hands aren’t clean, either.

As a bonus, let’s spend a few days watching how CBS promoted itself in 1993. First up, this ad that aired for affiliates, not the viewing public: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

“The Mystery of the Old Curio Shop”

I'd call this "Fuck you, I've got mine," but I think it's really just "Fuck you."

Thoughts On Update
NE picks back up for the last two seasons on Sunday. I'm determined to be done with the show on Friday, Sept. 1. A Different World will ideally start Sunday, Sept. 3.

Assuming I get my act together, Friday, Sept. 1, with ADW starting Sunday, Sept. 3.

I now have an compelling reason to hurry the hell up with the last two seasons of NE (but not tonight — exhausted from work).

Oh, hell yeah, this is going to make Thoughts On really easy for me. I was not sure where to find ADW and was hesitant to pay for Roseanne.

Yes I have. It's breathtaking, especially since it appears they were doing that choreography on wet pavement.

Yeah, how did Michael Jeter not get a mention? I just re-listened to Grand Hotel and his performance holds up very well.

She's tough! She's a harbor chick!
