Rebecaving myself
Qwyzzle once again has me enthralled. I just went to check on when I last posted about it, and it was over a year ago, and until a few days ago I still hadn't gotten past level 34. That was an entirely evil level. But I've been plodding along since then, making it all the way to level 61, and now I'm stuck again. OF COURSE.
Also, I don't think I could manage more than the occasional level without hints from the forum. It's HARD. /whine
And! I hate that I have to use IE for it. Though, since it's the only thing I use IE for I decided to make my last solved puzzle my home page.
It's really bizarre to be translating Conan and have a Swedish band as the musical guest, but not being able to translate Peter Bjorn and John into Peter Björn och John, because it's a band's name, not the members' name. Well, it is the members' name, but they made it into a band name. Okay, now I'm confusing myself with all these names.
I watched The Office.
Something about the whole stripper thing didn't sit right with me. I was trying to figure out just what exactly felt so wrong to me, and I concluded that I'm probably way too stuffy, but I would be outraged if anyone in my office said they were bringing in strippers, and yet here we barely got a protest from Angela. I'm more uptight than Angela... Excuse me while I go kill myself.
I also think that just one scene between Michael and Jim (where Jim tries to talk Michael out of hiring the strippers, but in the end takes the assignment to call the male stripper in order to minimize damage by not actually getting a stripper) would have helped tremendously in my enjoyment level of this episode. I'm actually thinking that such a scene may exist, but was cut for time.
Most of my affection for Karen is only lingering affection from Stamford. I won't be too upset if she's not staying long. I don't hate her or dislike her, I'm just becoming bored. And a bit weirded out. That conversation with Pam was uncomfortable and a tad confrontational. I mean, for all Pam knows, not even the documentary team was aware of the kiss and here Karen is, blurting it out like it's no big deal while the cameras are rolling. That didn't sit well with me.
Was it just me or did several people look like they had pink eye/had been crying/had been swimming in pools a lot? I remember Jim, especially, but just the one eye, and I think Dwight was another one. One of the other guys at least.
I realize that this entry reads like I didn't enjoy the episode, but I really did. I just...had issues.
I'm still enjoying My Name is Earl, but mostly just on a superficial level.
Scrubs this season...I don't know, it's not doing it for me. Not even the musical (with the exception of Guy Love) did all that much for me.
Still liking Ugly Betty, though I will never understand why anyone would think Walter was a good character to have on the show. Can he just go away now?
Oh, also, Tim Gunn leaving Parsons for Liz Claiborne makes me anxious for Project Runway, but I'm trying to convince myself that Liz Claiborne would probably consider the show to be great publicity. Plus, the scheduling conflict for season 4 was Tim's commitments at Parsons, but now that's no longer an issue...
