overeducated and underemployed

watch scrubs tonight!

Friend of OandU, Sean "The Showboat" Russell (a.k.a. Feelers Reabo and/or Kodiak) wrote it. And that's pretty darned awesome.

three is a magic number

Happy three year blogiversary to me! Crazy, right? So sorry it comes on the heels of a sloooow week. I've been all aflutter with work and non-work. I start a trial period (for them and for me) of a new job on Monday. I don't want to jinx myself, so I'll only tell you this much: the word "writer" is in the title, the word "assistant" is not, and it's not in TV. So...go from there.

When you're tired of reflecting on me, my future, and three years of my blogging, enjoy the last week in tv I watched at Recapist:

American Idol- Nasal is a Form of Singing
American Idol- Good-bye-ya
America's Next Top Model- The Girls Who Go Down Under
Instant Star- Nowhere to Run
Ugly Betty- Punch Out
Heroes- .07 Percent
American Idol- Idol Gives Back
American Idol- Idol Gives Back Further

More from Creature Comforts, this time not leaked by me or a cohort:

I'm actually in the office this week, packing things up. Hopefully everything will have to be unpacked shortly after our monster premiere June 4th!

aw yes, ain't that fresh

I know y'all want to get down like this:

"Eye did confirm another bit of scheduling, saying that "Creature Comforts" -- the long-in-the-works project from Aardman Animations -- will premiere June 4 at 8 p.m.

"Creature Comforts" -- which combines stop-motion animated animals with audio from interviews with average Americans -- inherits the timeslot normally occupied by "How I Met Your Mother." No word on where that skein will air over the summer."

nba shenanigans

While my beloved Clippers battle The Suns in Phoenix for a shot at the last playoff spot in the west, Golden State, their immediate competition, is playing the Dallas Maverick b-team. Nowitski? Zero minutes. Jerry Stackhouse? Zero minutes. Josh Howard? Zero minutes.

It almost makes me hate Mark Cuban. He's going to have to do something REALLY insane to make up for this one.

you're telling me this is decaf?

for real, y'all

Is it possible to watch an episode of Friday Night Lights without tearing up at the very least and, more often than not, full on crying? How did they make football so girly and sensitive? And why aren't more of you watching? Ladies, let me tell you...there are hot fellas on this show. And guys! Guys! You know that thing at the end of Field of Dreams, where Kevin Costner and his dad "have a catch" and you get all choked up? That's what this show is like! It's for you! It's for all of us! Bring it back for another season, NBC!

And while I am entreating networks to do things like support quality programming, dear God CBS, put Creature Comforts on the air. I miss work, and the money associated with it.

Congratulations, The Upstate Life, for winning the 1st Annual Blogger Bracket Battle. In honor of the victory, here is a picture of your beloved Testudo (a sacrifice for this Blue Devil, to be sure).

In other news, Pop Culture Junkies (where I recap American Idol, America's Next Top Model, Heroes, Ugly Betty and Veronica Mars) is now Recapist. Go check it out! Conveniently, you can now get all my posts on one page.

hire me now

It is official. I have reached the apex of my unemployment, and only a week in! I am now ready to re-enter society as a productive individual, for I have seen...

Bring it On: All or Nothing

Yes. White girls learning to krump for a cheer competition. Surely, it is all downhill from here.

fortuitous camerawork

At long last, Cheney's closely guarded feelings are betrayed.

The original:

The obvious interior monologue:

And amazingly, just off camera 50 feet behind Cheney, the same exact scene was playing out again, but with me in his place, and him in Bush's.

Many thanks to The Showboat for the lightning quick iMovie work, and his employer for giving him the time.
