Thanks for the google docs! Those are really helpful!

sweeeet!

The Beth Littleford era was rough - the phrase ‘one trick pony’ comes to mind. I feel kind of bad about writing that because she seems nice enough and I suspect at least half the problem was that the writing staff didn’t know what to do with her. There was one segment very early on where she interviewed pro football…

I’ve been watching the marathon as well. It has been so interesting to see the show evolve. You are right about them saying ‘retarded’. It feels like we have been free of that word for a while, but the show is evidence of just how recently it was completely fine. I also find it fascinating how much better the show got…

jeopardy doesn’t stream? it seems like they should stream….i don’t even know why we turned it on again, it seemed like a good idea at the time, but it turns out i still can’t find anything good on that doesn’t stream, so it was kind of a waste of the cash. there is football, though…so i guess we’ll watch that this…

wow, that’s a teary inducing moment. i spent a lot of time squeaking joyfully along with i09 that week or so.

no, no, that’s perfectly normal!!! if they didn’t expect us to stream it live 24/7 why did they put it on that way? it’s the only rational thing to do!

STAR!!

i love that point. like looking at before and after pictures of presidents, only way more fun.

i think maybe it’s because streaming shows is in it’s infancy as far as the dominant culture is concerned? maybe i’m wrong, but i still assume that most of the ad revenue is controlled largely by old white guys, who don’t yet see the potential of putting a good variety of “good” commercials into streaming broadcasts.…

i do! so much to look forward to upon return to the sweltering, steaming, suffocatingly hot home front. sigh. thank goodness for produce pete.

hey, endurance is needed in times like these. well done. i know i can stand it for five years or so….

brilliant! i guess i didn’t miss (all of) it after all! i’ll be home tomorrow evening and the lord knows i’ll need something to cheer me about that fact.

i’d star this if I could.

well dang. it seems i missed it. i suck.

i never know what the hell is going on unless you are here to tell me. now i’ll google this, and then watch it.

Fuck America and its taxpayers.

These fools actually came to my high school in the early 80’s in Spokane, WA and had a pickup soccer game with our school team before a concert that night. Nice guys, not the best athletes.

This was a tailor-made moment for them to seriously address the CTE issue, and they’ve chosen to stick their heads in the sand, while somehow managing to kick that sand in the face of his family. Bravo, NFL! I’m not sure you could have handled this worse if you wanted to!

Picking a gift is so hard. Have you considered asking her husband what she likes?
