Sign I'm Desperate for a Job
I wonder to myself, "Can I list 'added comments feature to blog' on the skills section of my resume?" It was more difficult than I expected.

I've Got to Stop Posting About This Thing
I just took the Sports Night quiz for a second time...and my results? Dan Rydell. Now, unlike some people (Tim Ragones), I did not purposely deceive the quiz to obtain new results. However, I got curious. I went back and looked at the questions and pondered which ones might I have answered differently the first time around. So, then I changed one answer. One. And BAM! I'm Jeremy again. There's only a one-answer difference between Dan and Jeremy? That's bullshit, and we all know it. However, I feel the quiz is much like the Oracle at Delphi and must be listened to. So...now I really have to decide if I like to "go out, drink and party." No=Jeremy. Not sure=Dan. Let the debate begin.

Maybe this is my new thing to worry about. Nope. Still worrying about writing...oh, and double boxes, too.

It Used to Be...
that I had a shit list. As with most people's shit lists, my shit list included the names of people who had pissed me off...or I just hated because I could. Well, I've had to develop a new list in recent days...one not for people I hate, but for friends who betray me. Introducing...my Judas List. It's reserved for people who betray me, like Judas betrayed our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. (I say "our." I really mean "mine." People of all faiths can be on the Judas List.) I don't hate people on the Judas list. I mean, c'mon, Jesus still loved Judas. (I think. I'm Catholic. We don't really do well with remembering Biblical details.)

It's the Quiz Sensation That's Sweeping the Nation
This afternoon, I received an e-mail from one Chris Fink where he signed his name Chris (Dan) in reference to his quiz results. Then, I got to thinking, wouldn't it be cool if we all signed our e-mails that way...if everyone knew us not just by our real names, but also by which Sports Night character we most resemble. Then I realized it wouldn't be cool, it would be dumb and it's thoughts like that one that lead to online Sports Night quizzes saying I'm Jeremy.

Fucking Webmail
So...Webmail won't let me reply to any e-mails. It says my mailbox is over its size limit. Yet, it appears I'm still receiving mail. And, I could reply to messages this afternoon, when I actually had less mail in my mailbox. Hey, IATS, blow me.

I Need Something New to Worry About
Any suggestions? Let me know.

And I Want to Leave This Place?
Yesterday's conversations at KOMU: knuckle-hair and mouthgasms.

Can Cartoon Characters Be sexy?
I say yes. If I had comments, you could voice your opinion, too. But I don't have comments...and that's because what I think is more important than what you think.

Maybe This Is Why I've Lost Five Pounds This Summer
Until 30 minutes ago, all I'd eaten today was a bowl of cereal, a Twix bar and a Vanilla Coke. Thank God I went to Wendy's so I could meet my dietary needs.

I Need to Seek Help
Whenever I have a good night of writing at the station, I start to worry mine is not creative writing, but obvious, trite writing. Then, I start to worry about things I've written for previous shows. Tonight, I even contemplated taping my newscasts and making non-journalism majors watch them to see if they groan. Too much?

That's Much Better
I'm not sure why I posted the last message three times. Everything appears to be better now. Apologies.

If LBJ Sang With Good Charlotte...
Girls don't like boys. Girls like guns and butter.

I'm Jeremy?!?!
I should have known I wasn't cool enough to be Dan Rydell...but to not even achieve Casey McCall status...

Take this Sports Night quiz and see which character you are.

Thanks to Erica for the link.

You Probably Won't Find This Funny
But I do, so read it anyway.

3 Things to add:

One: We didn't actually watch the whole first season...just the first two discs. Season one actually wraps up on the third DVD.

Two: From 11:20:59 until 11:41:00, I either: fell asleep, was abducted by aliens or actually watched the TV, because I remember nothing in between.

Three: At some point in the evening, Maral crossed over into "Lesbian Land." There's a good chance it was around 12:06.

Are You Game?
It's been awhile since I've played Catch Phrase. Anybody else up for a rousing round of everyone's favorite party game?

If Dan Young Jumped Off a Bridge, Would You Do That, Too?

Yes. That's why I'm now using the same template he uses.

Mad Props to One Mr. Rob Coons
Thanks to the best roomie ever for planning my first ever surprise party. Not only was I surprised, I was scared shitless. Well done.

Thanks also goes to all those in attendance, those not in attendance but good at keeping a secret, those who kept trying to make me leave the station and go home and those who brought cards/refreshments/Cafe Gelato gift certificates.

Anxiously Awaiting
•Andrea Adams' return to town
•Sports Night marathon this weekend

Note to Paul
I'm not ignoring you. It's just hard to reach you when we work conflicting hours. Thursday night good?

The Job Hunt
In the past week, I've: seen the job I really wanted go to a friend, turned down a job I maybe shouldn't have turned down, lost back-up option #1 to someone with "more experience," and watched as another friend interviewed for back-up option #2 (which it now looks like he'll be offered.) Mom and Dad, clean out the basement. I could be coming home soon.

My Apologies
Sorry I haven't been posting much. I've been in this guy's hometown and this guy's hometown. I could be spending much more time in one of those towns very soon. Or, I could remain an unemployed bum.

What's This Mean?
Springfield has a 4:1 Super Wal-Mart to Target ratio.

Now THAT's Willpower
On the way back from Springfield, I didn't stop for custard or the Gap Outlet.

MO-DOT's New Motto
We'll put cones where we fucking feel like it.

Note to All Men
Stop it with the sleeveless t-shirts. Please. I don't care how big your guns are, they don't look good in a sleeveless t-shirt.

Old and Dirty
Nothing makes one feel more like a pedophile than Summer Welcome.

Correction
I didn't have JUST candy for breakfast. I also had Smorz cereal.
