What the Fuck?

September 19, 2006 12:57 AM

lright - I don't know what's going on with the blog right now. For some reason, there are some issues with the commenting. There are still several behind-the-scenes issues I'm trying to take care of, as well. It's being worked on. You guys can help me out by trying to comment and letting me know how it goes. Just use the tagboard to let me know if things fuck up.

On another note, let me talk about how much I hate people who answer phones for companies. Now, I know the standard complaints and I agree with them all. But what really annoys me is the fucking way these people talk. It's like they're trained to talk like retards: "Now, sir, I will be trying to get some help out to you as soon as possible." Or "I am sorry that I wasn't able to help you out today. Is there anything else I can help you with?" Or, my favorite, "Sir, I am a fucking moron and I will redirecting you to someone who willredirect you back to me." Why the fuck can't you talk like normal people? WHY?

In other news, Cole, Kristin and Chris came over to watch Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - the new show by Aaron Sorkin. Anyone who read my blog in the past day saw that I wrote about it. The problem is that that post seems to have wandered into the Bermuda Triangle and dissappeared. Who the fuck knows what's going on with this blog?

In any event, the show was good. It's rough around the edges, maybe, but I think it'll get a lot better. That's always the way it works: shows always get better a few years into their runs. Or, at the very least, it is often the case that a show's first season is almost completely foreign to the show's later style. Look at Seinfeld, for example. While all the essential elements were present in the first episode (the one where some strange woman comes to stay at Jerry's apartment), the entire thing feels so strange, especially if you go back and watch it as someone who came to know the show during its later brilliance.

Still, Studio 60 was good.

Let me know if there are problems.
