September, 2005
September 1st, 2005, 10:11 p.m. - Dear people going back to school
Sorry, but...ha ha!
September 2nd, 2005, 6:07 p.m. - Harumph
Okay, someone help me get up the courage to ask for a raise on Tuesday. Because I worked my tail off today, and my time is worth more than freaking $12.50 an hour. I read depositions of movers who make $15 an hour. I've been here four months and I was told I would get a raise after 4-6 weeks. Rent in Falls Church is ridiculous, and I'd like to be able to actually afford it.
September 4th, 2005, 3:53 p.m. - Names concealed to protect the...well, not innocent
Best quotes from the company barbeque at my boss' house last night:
Tipsy boss: "We've been together for 14 years."
Tipsy boss, re: passed out drunk reporter: "You wake him up, [co-worker who is not me]."
Co-worker who is not me, to tipsy boss (who's planning a trip to Rome): "Do you have a map of Italy?"
(While watching news report on MSNBC about Chief Justice William Rehnquist's death)
September 6th, 2005, 11:03 p.m. - I love you this much
"Hurricane Katrina is President Bush's Monica Lewinsky." Marry me, Jon Stewart.
September 7th, 2005, 1:52 p.m. - Odds and ends
"Double Your Tutors, Double Your Fun"
Oh, and Kristen Bell gets to sing at the Emmys. How awesome is that?
Just for the heck of it, here's what I'm most looking forward to in the upcoming TV season:
Veronica Mars - the answer to who's at the door
Arrested Development - the aftermath of Les Cousins Dangereux.
The Amazing Race - recapping
Alias - cute Sydney/Vaughn baby by February sweeps?
Gilmore Girls - the proposal answer
September 12th, 2005, 5:59 p.m. - Everyone's blog is slow today
What's up with that?
September 13th, 2005, 6:09 p.m. - Yay, fall season!
Tonight - Gilmore Girls
September 14th, 2005, 9:36 a.m. - 'Bye, Tommy
"Cram It" - that means you, editors
"Home on the Range" - shut up, Wes
September 18th, 2005, 8:31 p.m. - Give Carmen Electra an Emmy
If 15 million people watch the season premiere of Arrested Development (tomorrow at 8 on FOX), Jason Bateman will give Carmen Electra one of the show's Emmys. I never thought I'd say this, but let's make that happen, people!
September 20th, 2005, 8:59 p.m. - Fun fun fun
This time next week, I will be freaking out.
September 21st, 2005, 5:04 p.m. - Apologies for the outdated reference
September 22nd, 2005, 8:59 a.m. - Waaaah
We have to wait an extra week to see Alias so that Kelly Monaco can try to cling to her 15 minutes of fame? That makes Jack angry. And when Jack gets angry, PEOPLE DIE. (No, seriously. Just ask Sophia. Except you can't, 'cause he killed her.)
So the secret of Craphole Island (tm Shannon) is an underground bunker where a guy named Desmond works out to the Mamas and the Papas? They stole my idea!
Oh, and according to 99.5, Walt said, "Press the button. No, the button's bad."
September 23rd, 2005, 10:22 p.m. - Excelente
I received the news today that I'm going to be an associate editor for RNO. Yay! Good thing I have no life, huh?
September 25th, 2005, 8:43 p.m. - Spend the evening with Sydney
Dude! UPN is showing Alias reruns! So awesome!
In other Alias news, I've read that Amy Acker (Fred on Angel) will be in a few episodes. Also, they might actually be killing off Vaughn. And as if that weren't enough, Weiss might be leaving. Stupid writers.
11:14 p.m. - So it begins
(Heh. That's another Alias reference.)
"The Amazing Race 8 Winners Leaked?"
September 28th, 2005, 11:37 a.m. - I smoked this like Carissa smoked Rebecca and Rachel
"A New Yorker Lost in Manhattan"
11:27 p.m. - And this is what I did tonight
September 30th, 2005, 3:39 p.m. - When will my co-workers stop screaming, Clarice?
I'm gonna go hide in the bathroom again, 'cause it's crazy around here.
And speaking of people whose names sound like Clarice, Happy Birthday, Claire!
Drunk reporter: "Well, I was born, like, 32 years ago."
Me: "I'm not [co-worker who is not me]."
Tipsy boss: "Oh. Yeah. That's right."
Drunk reporter: "What about this?"
Co-worker who is not me: "That's a map of Rome."
Drunt reporter: "Rome is in Italy."
Me: "They keep showing the same two scenes over and over."
Tipsy boss: "Wait. So, are you saying you're a democrat?"
