Post of Random. Look, Neil's dancing with Elmo!
1. How I Met Your Mother is the best traditional sitcom on TV today. Before you say anything, these are the other traditional sitcoms on the air today:
2. i changed my availability at work so I only work Friday and Saturday now. I needed a day off, and my mom signed off on it, so I have Sundays open again. This Sunday I'm going to Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist with Elyse, and to get things for Angie from the Disney store.
3. Angie got her brain cut open yesterday morning. I've heard through Aaron and Mary that the surgery went fine and she'll be home in three to four days.
4. I think maybe Aaron went home today? He wasn't here when I woke up (at 9:30...I went to sleep at 9:00 last night, I was way tired) and I don't think he's been back all day.
5. I don't think I told y'all how awesome I was in class on Tuesday. I went last, and though I was the only one there who had seen every HIMYM episode, and I think only one other girl had seen more than one HIMYM episode, and my teacher's seen one, but everyone laughed at some parts (not all of them, but a lot more than I thought were funny when I wrote it) and my teacher told me it was very well-written, and someone said he'd watch that episode, and I walked home on this freakin' high. I want to do this for a living, this class has convinced me of this again. I'll get there anyway I can, but my ultimate goal is to work for a sitcom, in a writer's room, pitching jokes. If the show's good enough, if I know it well enough, I can pitch jokes like nobody's business (the biggest laugh I've gotten so far, I think, is when the first thing out of my mouth one class was, "You know Phyllis did this guy, too," about a 'famous actor' from Scranton in an Office pitch.
6. I have soup to eat! I'm gonna go. Maybe I'll be back in another three weeks.
- The Big Bang Theory (which honestly is kinda awesome, but it needs to hit its stride)
- Two and a Half Men (ugh)
- New Adventures of Old Christine (also kinda great, but it all rests on Julia Louis-Dreyfus)
- Gary Unmaried (um....naw)
- The Game (I think? It's on the CW, and it's about football players?)
