did this day really happen?

The Democrats control Congress AND Studio 60 is officially renewed for a full season? Holy crap. I'm almost thankful that I'm incredibly stressed about other things and have a bad headache because it reminds me that I'm not dreaming. Wow. 22-episode DVD set instead of 13, whee! *g*

Bush responded to the new spirit of bipartisanship by submitting John Bolton for UN Ambassador. Again. *giggle* Dude, your own party doesn't want that guy, accept it already.

I finally watched last week's BSG and my main reaction was....bzuh? So I trooped over to [livejournal.com profile] yahtzee63's LJ since BSG and Lost are the only shows we agree on, and she said much of it reminded her of a bad experimental college play, and so then I was appeased that it wasn't just ME. At least Lee's arms are back. Rowr.

Jane Kaczmarek was on Celebrity Jeopardy tonight but they did not show Bradley in the audience, so I feel relieved that [livejournal.com profile] leftofcenternyc and I did not miss an opportunity to see him by watching a different episode taping. Also, the charity she was playing for was Clothes Off Our Back, which makes sense, but also kind of struck me as cheating. Oh, and apparently Doug Savant pwns, which did not surprise me in the slightest.

New York Magazine has put a do-it-yourself version of their Approval Matrix online. Delightful.

RIP Ed Bradley. I know it's wrong that one of my first thoughts was that Harrison Ford must be sad, but there you have it.

I thought the same thing about Harrison Ford...

I am relieved I was not the only one!

I have to wonder if S60's renewal was a bi-product of their recent "non-scripted shows in the 8pm hour" strategy.

Regardless, it was nice to see them acknowledge that the audience for that show is smarter-than-average.

Oh, that's a tough one. I love Anthony Bourdain. Might be time to get TiVo.

I'd say that I really liked the episode, except for the Cylon crap, except the Cylon crap TOOK UP THREE QUARTERS OF THE GODDAMN EPISODE.

However, I have watched the gym scene about eleventy million times.

Well, that's perfectly understandable. *g*

It may amuse you to know that [livejournal.com profile] gnomi and I refused to believe in the Studio 60 renewal until we saw it on Radio Free Dia. Thanks for the news.

[identity profile] dianora2.livejournal.com 2006-11-10 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
And Radio Free Dianora refused to report it until it was official. *g*

Yay for a full season!

But I'm sorry you didn't get to see Bradley playing for Clothes Off Our Back by taking the clothes off his back....

So happy to hear about Studio 60 *does dance of joy*

I saw the Jeopardy with Jane and thought of you. Any news on the other appearance? I'd like to know the date so I could see it.
