You ever have one of those days when you're watching White Collar and you're sure that the guest villain was the boyfriend in a John Hughes movie, but you can't quite remember which one? Just me ( Read more... )

Spent four days at a conference, and did not once mention my job without either apologizing for or rationalizing it. This is probably a good sign that I should continue to keep my eyes open for other opportunities.The more time that passes between Yuletide closing and assignments going out, the more convinced I become that I have made horrible ( Read more... )

In very old Sports Night alumni news: Why did the internet not tell me that Peter Krause is on Parenthood? I couldn't care less about watching Lorelai Gilmore be a parent some more, but Casey! Also, why did the internet not tell me that Josh Charles is on The Good Wife? I saw a clip, and he seems smart! I don't actually know what that show is ( Read more... )

Tuesday's The Daily Show had a segment about helium being an endangered gas, which was totally the plot of one of my Yuletide stories. Sadly, they didn't choose to interview any parade balloon operators ( Read more... )

Today I purchased a cheapish bottle of Pinot Noir, and one of Zinfandel, and two different bottles of Champagne (or more accurately, one bottle of Champagne and one of sparkling wine).
