Fireside Chat

Warning - this post could be seen as political, but I'd argue that.

Apparently, after the next year, the three of you who still don't have a DVR will not be roused from your recliner slumber by the obnoxious decibel level of a commercial advertisement.

I'm not (entirely) judging the merits of this legislation. I'm even encouraged by the knowledge that Congress could pass some goddamn thing.

Forgive me, but...

One in six Americans does not have enough to eat. We are tearing ourselves apart so that the people making the most money can sit on a slightly larger pillow of excess (sorry, but come on - their lives don't change at all) and we can't agree to extend unemployment benefits past Christmas?

(Also, what are you doing watching TV when people are starving?)

On the bright side, when those unemployed people are staring through the appliance store window at the TV display, the commercials won't offend with their loudness.

Always a silver lining,

Jenny

December 2nd

Forever ago, Jeske popped up on IM and asked “do you want me to get tickets for the Louis CK show on December 2nd?”

December 2nd?! Who knows where we’ll be on December 2nd?

I could have a fantastic job as a fancy writer on a wildly popular show and will probably have to work late nights.

Louis CK could be gunned down by a crazy conservative who just doesn’t get it.

The “Big One” could finally hit, sucking Universal City and it’s ampitheater down into a bottomless pit.

Aliens could arrive and enslave all humans, making any comedy show tickets worthless.

Or, less likely, we could have a huge fight and break up and not be together by the end of the year.

December 2nd is soooo far away, the possibilities are absolutely endless. But, sure, go ahead. Get the tickets.



Guess who gets to see Louis CK tonight?
