mostly a gip

Just a few quick things:

I thought Gilmore Girls tonight was the weakest of the season so far but still better than a lot of last season. And although I understand the Lorelai/Christopher thing, I hope they don't take it TOO far. Yeesh.

For my Kate Walsh fan friends, in case you hadn't heard, she's going to be on The View tomorrow. I saw the commerical while I was watching GH.

Speaking of GH, on GSN's episode of Jeopardy today they had a category, GH, that was all about...General Hospital. I was SO EXCITED. And then after the first two clues they ran out of time. Damn slow contestants! *shakes fist* I was denied much happiness. But could you imagine if I got on the show and they had a General Hospital category? I would collapse into a gigglefit.

You know, the Mets were doing really well this season until I started giving a damn. Coincidence? I think not.

[livejournal.com profile] kopernik linked to this awesome interview with Laura from Project Runway.

President Bush bought a 98,000 acre farm in Paraguay. I am not making that up. Apparently he is going into exile when his term is over.

Bill O'Reilly says there is no such thing as pregnancy complications that threaten women's lives. Again, I am not making this stuff up. How could I?

Studio 60 tanked in the ratings last night, coming in third behind What About Brian for god's sake. So I guess that's that. Sigh. The very slim DVD box will maybe look nice next to my Sports Night DVD box. *wanders off to cry*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] snacktime! I hope you had a delightful day.

Hey...I linked that interview weeks ago :P

Did you know she has her own blog on BravoTV.com? Theres also a really cute picture of her and kid #5(?) at OFW. A very cool representation of Laura if you ask me. All dressed up, handling the press, yet shes got time for the kids. I still want to be her when I grow up!

Really, it's your icon that makes this post golden. I'm close to salivating.

Ummm PARAGUAY???! There must be more to this that we're missing as of yet...

in fact, to prevent even the possibility, i think they should remove them before anything happens. lets start with Bill's!

I'm really starting to think there should be some sort of recognized version of Godwin's Law that says any time someone who owns a penis starts to talk about women's reproductive health, they get called on.

Seriously? Paraguay? Jesus H. Christ, America, why the fuck did we elect this shlub?

Studio 60 getting cancelled would really be a mercy killing at this point, don't you think?

Ha. I think your icon is the only thing keeping me from weeping. Please, god, give the show a new timeslot or SOMETHING before giving them the axe.

One can only hope.

Crying with you. What is wrong with people? Don't they know quality tv when they see it? Don't answer that.

I swear to god that if it does get the axe I am creating a T-shirt on my cafepress site that reads.

"Studio 60"

GIP's are good when they look like that!

Bill O'Reilly says there is no such thing as pregnancy complications that threaten women's lives.
Well, speaking as someone who suffered pre-eclampsia TWICE and needed emergency C-sections both times, I think I can safely say he's talking bollocks. The old adage still rings very true - if men had to have the babies, they'd already have found another way to do it!

Studio 60 tanked in the ratings last night
yeah... writing's on the wall. NBC are going to have a lot of egg on their face when they cancel, though. Sorkin shoulda gone to HBO in the first place!

the only thing that gives me a bit of hope is the fact that the demographic that is watching S60 is the most educated and wealthiest (read: able to afford the high end stuff that they advertise) on TV right now.

if nothing else, it at least buys us time.

[livejournal.com profile] flamingcarrot got to see the episode where they talk about alpha consumers last night. He wanted to know if he was one. I laughed. I think it's interesting that the show discusses its own fate as it discusses the fate of the fictional show. It's kind of a funny vicious little circle there.

And who knew Bill O'Reilly was a medical expert? Not me.

*blinks*

Can someone let him know that pregnancy and giving birth is the most dangerous thing a human being can do.

I've decided if they ever figure out a way to spinoff Project Runway, Laura should be the mentor - a ballsier, blunter Tim Gunn, if you will.

Regarding Studio 60, this is amusing, even as we all cry:

Humm, excuse me but what does "gip" means?
