Finally! Proof positive that Angie, Lotti and I aren't the only Digression Girls on the planet. I was looking at Television Without Pity (formerly MightyBig TV) today and got sucked in by a link in the side column that said Songs In The Key Of "Huh?" "'A hen? A hen is funny? What are you, a Mennonite?' I was intrigued. It linked to a long, digression-laden, HI-LARIOUS conversation about post offices, interpretive dance to David Cassidy, hens as the instrument of revenge and much, much more. I laughed my ass off -- as silently as possible, as I was still, technically, at work. (Shhh!). I was highly tempted to call Ang and Lotti, but figured instead I'd just put the link in my blog and hope they saw it there. (Ang probably will, but Lotti is in Tech Week Hell and therefore may not be coming up for air.) Go read it. If you don't think it's funny... well, you're wrong.
Digression -- have you been to TVWoP? They do recaps. They have more snark per capita than should be legal. I'm wildly jealous of the people who get paid -- yes, get paid to make obnoxious comments about cheesy TV. Why the hell didn't I think of that? Harumph.
So I wrote what I believe is my first internet fan letter. I'm not a stalker, I promise. I just want Sars' job (or at least the TVWoP part) and possibly her life. That's all. Nothing to be afraid of.
In other news, Newton is continuing on his path of worldwide media domination. His first commentary for the BBC -- yes, thatBBC -- ran today. Who knew being a smartass was actually a great career move? It was a great surprise to my parents -- they said something to the effect of "Wow, if you'd kept dating him, you'd be with a media star now." I explained that actually wouldn't have happened, as the whole PDN website sprung out of the messy end of a nasty relationship, and, had we stayed together, he would have remained blissfully happy at all times, basking in the joy of my presence. So really, it's all for the best -- I would hate to deprive the world of another incisive voice of satire and smart-assedness just because i'm too wonderful to sow dissent. That would be tragic.
I also got taken to task by Rich today for maligning him in my side rail. Why single out him for not posting, he asks, when Wendy is much more lax about blogging? I explained that (1) Wendy had her computer stolen, so that's why she couldn't blog, (2) Upon the receipt of a new computer, I bugged her to blog again, and (3) she's my in-house tech support, you think I'm going to risk pissing her off? I don't think so. But Rich, I feel your pain, and I recognize the injustice of lumping you with Tripp, who hasn't updated since October, ferchrissake, so I will release you from the penalty box. In fact, you get a new cataagory all your own. Mea Culpa.
