I just now googled it and learned that Peter Krause (sigh) is starring. I will certainly watch it now. Like I need more TV. Good thing is, The Nine got cancelled and I still can't seem to get into Studio 60. So I guess, really, I don't have that much TV to watch after all.

I might give "10 Items or Less" a try.

Well then, what is it??? I'm dying here.

She was sitting in her office reading the post when a partner walked in. She was flushed from Spanky's profession of her hotness, and was barely able to stutter out a coherent sentence to the partner. The whole experience was overwhelming.

Next Sunday will be the last episode of Dexter. I'm sure they will show the entire season the few days before. If you haven't been watching it is really really good.

Fascinating interview in Rolling Stone with Sacha Baron Cohen -- apparently he almost never talks to the press out of character. A few snippets from the interview -- The Man Behind The Mustache

• There are two things Baron Cohen doesn't like talking about: his background and his creative process -- how he creates his characters, how he procures interviews with highly inaccessible figures like Newt Gingrich and Donald Trump, and how he gets them to take seriously his preposterous questions . . .
  
  For the Borat film and TV segments, on the other hand, subjects are told that the crew is shooting a documentary intended for Kazakhstan television. Much to the surprise of producers, celebrities and politicians are willing to do such an obscure interview and, once on camera, are eager to please.
  
  Because Da Ali G Show had run already for two seasons on HBO, most of the Borat movie had to be shot in areas of the Deep South with minimal cable penetration. As an extra precaution, during the pre-interview, researchers made sure subjects hadn't heard of Baron Cohen. For a final safety measure, a lawyer was kept on retainer. Before each scene, producers would tell her what they planned to do, and she'd let them know where the boundary between comedy and criminality lies.
  
  Once on site, the first order of business is to get subjects to sign releases, which are worded vaguely and omit the actual name of the media outlet where the show will air. In the case of scenes shot in public, passers-by are given releases before entering the area. "We'd have someone in the lobby of a hotel with release forms," Borat director Larry Charles, who previously directed Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, recalls of one scene. (Full disclosure: Charles is slated to direct the film version of a book I wrote, The Dirt.) "We'd tell people we were shooting today and they may be in the background of a shot. Then they'd get in the elevator and, boom, two naked guys would come running in." (emphasis supplied)

These must be the conventioneers TM mentioned.

Anyway, very interesting article, even for a Borat Disliker like me.

• What next for Gibson? Here are some suggestions.
  
  1) Mel Gibson's Pogrom. Mendel is a poor but virtuous clockmaker in a tiny shtetl in the Pale of Settlement. His dreams of raising his family are dashed by a marauding horde of Cossacks. In order to avenge the murder of his wife and sons, Mendel strengthens his body in a muskel Judentum gymansium in cosmopolitan Berlin, where the teachings of Max Nordau open his mind to the promise of Zionism. Fully fit, he returns home to hunt down the band of Cossacks -- and shtetl elders who sold out his people. ("Go Beyond The Pale. Summer 2008.")
  
  2) Mel Gibson's Middle Passage. Okonkwo is a poor but virtuous hunter with an Igbo tribe somewhere in West Africa. His dreams of raising his family are dashed by a marauding band of Muslim slave-traders. Taken into slavery, Okonkwo must liberate his family using his superior brute strength and cunning wits to overpower the Muslims. At the moment of triumph, Okonkwo's victory is snatched from him by the arrival of Europeans, who seek to profit from the Triangular Trade. In order to save his family -- and the Igbo themselves -- Okonkwo must face the ultimate decision: to collaborate and enslave another tribe aligned with the Muslims, or to resist in all directions. ("The Longest Voyage Lies Within. Summer 2009.")
  
  3) Mel Gibson's Afrikaans. Botha is a poor but virtuous farmer tilling his soil in South Africa. His dreams of raising his family are dashed by the Boer War. The marauding British round his family up into concentration camps and seek to enslave his neighbors. Botha's only way out is to rally an insurgent force of Free Afrikaans and savage Zulus to resist British rule. But when the Zulus attempt to play both sides against each another, Botha must betray his old friends in return -- and he learns that on the veldt, it's every man for himself. ("Cry Freedom. Summer 2010.")

This is a nothing post, but I just don't know what to say in response to the Spanky post. Reading it made my head revolve 360 degrees, like in the Exorcist.

Not in an angry way, just kind of overwhelmed.

because you agree with more of it than you'd like to admit?

I have found that the iPod battery goes much much faster when playing video. So caveat emptor and all that.

I'm guessing you'd go with the 10 Items.

I know, I factored all that into my musings and analysis of what I want to buy. If you go on battery alone I'd buy the shuffle, right?

Or the nano. Which i almost did but I think I want video.

AoN, some asshole on the stop 1/2 hour before the city wanted the third seat, woke both of us up to get it, folded his 6"4 ass into the seat, whipped out his CD player, and started flipping through printouts of a power point presentation whilst muttering to himself. elbowing me with each flip. and OCD changing his cd over and over. I almost punched him. Dude. you are 1/2 hour on the train. Is it necessary to be that disruptive for 1/2 hour?

I will always stand if the only open seat is next to a fat person.
