Hi! Welcome!

Ah, I absolutely loved the look on Ryan's face when Michael started tearing pages out of the textbook. He actually grabbed his stomach like he was trying to stop himself from throwing up. Brilliant.

And Jim's Batman prank is probably my favorite of the season. Well, except for Future Dwight and the poisoned coffee, cause it just doesn't get funnier that that. :D

I think I might have had the same look on mine. Those textbooks are, like, $70!

Future Dwight is the best thing ever.

MEEP. That does sound like an ordeal. I had a similar experience trying to paint the entryway in our old house, which had, like, 7000-foot ceilings. Not good. I hate being afraid of heights.

But WOOO, Black Donnellys! I am looking forward to that. I am also amused by the bad guys in Gift of the Wheelman (un-acronymed for your convenience!) being named the Donnellys. Paul Haggis definitely has a couple of wells that he's gone back to more than once. One of which appears in Victoria's Secret, and caused SDW and I to nearly kill ourselves laughing at a really inappropriate time during Casino Royale. Good times!

I think I told you about my painting job on the back room and the 11-foot ceiling problem. At least there, I didn't have to juggle glass or mess with things directly above me with both hands. But the more I think about that painting project, the more I realize that I was actually insane for doing it.

The fixture for the exterior light above my door is about 11 feet up too, and the landing is small, and then there are only wooden steps and a two-story drop. I always let my dad change that one when he's in town once a year, because I really can't handle it at all.

Duuuude! The Black Donnellys is so, so very awesome. I have seen the pilot and it made me squeal little girl. Many, many times. I am so happy you are setting the pass. I hope you love it, but honestly, what's not to love about the Irish mob brothers in NYC? Rock!

Excellent. I like a lot of alcohol and despair and guilt with my mob violence.

Heh, I think most people avoid talking about Haggis because he's also "Paul Haggis of Crash fame" and well, that's not exactly a draw for a lot of people.

danceswithwords February 17 2007, 16:56:36 UTC

Wait--you mean people associate him more with a controversial Oscar-winning movie than with an obscure Canadian TV show from the mid-90s? Hee.

(I actually did not know about Haggis's involvement with Crash. Huh!)
