I have several comments to make, all of them related to that most wonderful of inventions, the television.
1) I'm about to give up on Veronica Mars. I'll try to stay on through this season, but this last arc was just so boring. The only episode I really liked in the whole arc was "There's Got to Be A Morning After Pill." And the conclusion to the Dean's murder was a huge bowl of meh. It managed to make a bad-mystery hat trick: it was predictable, boring, AND hard to believe.
2) Lost, by contrast, is totally back. Last week's episode was off in just about every way possible, but this week's was awesome. Jin's inability to speak English will never not be funny as long as the Losties continue to try and remedy the situtation by speaking LOUD-ER and SLOW-ER. And Rousseau is back! She always brightens things up.
3) On Monday, NBC News is scheduled to have a story about asbestos. Yawn. But as part of this story, they're going to show a clip from one of Patty's press conferences. Slightly less yawn. A press conference that I helped set up (literally...I helped put the signs on stands, and stuff the press packets.) And after I helped set up, I stood around in the back, watching it. So even though I'm not actually on camera, I was standing about five feet directly behind it. So that's pretty cool.
I think I had another TV related thing to talk about, but I can't remember what it was (that's the trouble with posting at 11:30.) If I remember, I'll edit it in.

You know what this reminds me of?
Liz, meet Not-Safe-For-Work. Not-Safe-For-Work, Liz. I'll let you two get acquainted.
my comment didn't comment. But besides disparaging current TV, the main pts were:
-GOD liz what is WRONG with you?!?
-Yes (Prime) Minister was an '80s Brit show I loved a couple years back (still do) - witty, etc.
-The Brits made a "modern" version of it last year, only ~6 episodes made, called The Thick of It. Example of the show here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_7pyktzpY8
-The creator of Arrested Development (Peace Be Upon It) announced a while back that he is developing (ha) an American version of The Thick of It, about aides in the office of a low level congressman, for next season.
-Christopher Guest, of Best In Show fame, is directing the pilot.
-Come fall, I will be watching this show.
hahaha now all Greg's coworkers think he has a Harry Potter fetish and will snicker behind his back
Well if I SAID NSFW it would have tipped you off. I weighed the pros and cons, and found that Naked Harry Potter justified the downfall of your professional reputation. Eheh?
I just had to pay it forward, you know? Everyone keeps tricking me into looking at it. Monica gave me a resemblant valentine, and even my mother's Office Manager opened Naked Harry Potter's Star Magazine magazine spread mere inches from my face. If I suffer, you ALL suffer.
The Boy says:
I think I had another TV related thing to talk about, but I can't remember what it was ...
Dad wonders:
What is the opposite of an oxymoron? Doesn't the boy's statement pose a question that contains it's own answer?
