The leather pants are comedy gold. That scene in the bathroom when he's on the phone with Joey is so rewatchable.

I like Ross significantly more in later seasons. It's when he is with Rachel in 2-3 that he's really the worst to me. When he brings the picnic to her desk and sends the barbershop quartet in, I have nothing but loathing.

I decided to watch an episode on my new fancy tv yesterday and that's the one I chose. Then I quickly went to the one where Ross is showing off his bagpipes (not a euphemism) and Phoebe is singing along and the others are trying and failing not to crack up as they listen. The outtakes from that are hilarious.

If you go back and watch the reveal on that ep with all of them on the couch, their expressions are all absolutely perfect. Joey's excitement at getting to watch the video, Rachel's smugness, Ross's vindication (this is coming from someone who hates Ross as a rule, but he's perfect here). They are all fantastic.

Ultimately it was not. There was a blizzard so they did it outside of Central Perk. It was really a very sweet wedding, I thought.

I saw it in a packed theater and was seated directly in front of two youths who were clearly there for one of their first PG-13 movies and spent the entire film shouting "Oh shit!" and "Holy shit" over and over. That, the weird punching toy, and the marshes are all I remember about the movie.

Long form? I don't know that there are any — that was why I understood that they launched Serial. If you aren't listening to This American Life, you should — they have a couple of episodes that are two parters and a couple that just have one story. Most are themed though and have two or three separate stories.

I know my parents saw it on one of their first dates and both hated it as well. I, on the other hand, love it. We did it as our musical one year in high school, and a number of my "go to" earworms are snippets of Little Shop of Horrors songs.

See Drop Dead Gorgeous. It's fantastic.

I have been having these dvr issues where the sound goes out once an hour or so and they said they probably need to send me a new one, but that I'd lose all my recordings. I am seriously considering just dealing with it because the thought of losing "Twas the Night Before Christmas…Or Twas It" and "No Ho Ho" is too…

We watched both of those! And Born on the Fourth of July. That was a weird class.

Every year I go through that moment when my mom calls to tell me what night Rudolph is on because she thinks I love it, and I remind her that I'm the daughter who hates it because Santa and Rudolph's parents are jackasses and that dentist drives me batty. And the way the snowman narrator moves kind of freaks me out.

I have never listened to the band, but love the name because the park positively captivated me as a youngster. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

You should also practice altering lyrics to kids or holiday songs. He has a particularly inspired version of Here Comes Santa Claus that he still breaks out and we're in our 20s and 30s.

In typical dad fashion, my dad tends to purposefully mispronounce words. Which is fine, I'm used to it. The problem is, my sister and I are so used to it, that we forget what the real pronunciations are. So he tells this story about my grandpa talking about tortilla soup as tor-till-a soup, and now when I see it, my…

I had my annual performance review and did very well. It almost certainly won't matter as I'm averaged against the others here in my category and the others in the category have department heads that just have them fill out their own reviews and they get the highest scores. But it is nice to have higher ups recognize…

Our employee party has neither open bar nor drink tickets. Strictly pay your own way. But a year's worth of helping people clear copy machine jams and making the postage meter work (I'm the office machine whisperer) earns me enough goodwill that I've never had to buy a drink at our parties. So I have that to look…

Francie doesn't like coffee ice cream.

I have my first holiday work party (planned by yours truly) complete. Everyone else thinks it went swimmingly. Two to go.

It helps if you call them both Dermott McDermott.
