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."
Drunk reporter: "Well, I was born, like, 32 years ago."

Tipsy boss, re: passed out drunk reporter: "You wake him up, [co-worker who is not me]."
Me: "I'm not [co-worker who is not me]."
Tipsy boss: "Oh. Yeah. That's right."

Co-worker who is not me, to tipsy boss (who's planning a trip to Rome): "Do you have a map of Italy?"
Drunk reporter: "What about this?"
Co-worker who is not me: "That's a map of Rome."
Drunt reporter: "Rome is in Italy."

(While watching news report on MSNBC about Chief Justice William Rehnquist's death)
Me: "They keep showing the same two scenes over and over."
Tipsy boss: "Wait. So, are you saying you're a democrat?"


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"

"How to Be a Man"

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
• Charisma Carpenter as Dick and Beaver's sexy stepmom
• Logan gets a big storyline
• The possibility of Logan and Wallace interacting
• No more paternity angst

Arrested Development - the aftermath of Les Cousins Dangereux.
• Steve Holt!
• Kitty
• George, Sr. under house arrest
• GOB doing anything

The Amazing Race - recapping
• Opportunity to snark on whiny kids
• Phil doing anything
• Apparently they were in D.C. at one point

Alias - cute Sydney/Vaughn baby by February sweeps?
• Lena Olin
• Who knows what Sloane is up to
• Jack, doing anything
• There's always the possibility that Sark will pop up

Gilmore Girls - the proposal answer
• Kirk, Mrs. Kim, Taylor, Babette, Miss Patty, and various other townies
• The opportunity to roll my eyes and throw things when Logan shows up onscreen


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 19th - Arrested Development, Medium
September 21st - Lost
September 22nd - The Apprentice (which means more recapping duties)
September 27th - The Amazing Race (more recapping duties, again)
September 28th - Veronica Mars
September 29th - Alias


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

"We Were on a Break!"


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.)

"Melissa vs. Kristi"

"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

"About a Boy"


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!
