I know! I saw that on their page.

I guess it's just as well though, because I need to pack in all that quality mom time, especially it being her birthday and all.

― KitCat, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 15:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm really in a late to bed/late to work groove. I've got to tighten up, folks.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 15:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Me too! (though my 'late to work' means about 1-5 minutes late, but I'm used to being @ 20 minutes early)

How was the vet visit?

― KitCat, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 15:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I got to work an hour later than I usually do, but I'll have a new boss/office in a week it's not like it matters much.

Vet was good, I made an appointment to have her little ovaries + uterus removed in a week. Also she apparently has a very slight heart murmur, but is otherwise very healthy.

Her = Kitka, not the vet

not to throw a wrench in the works here, and not to apoil some good daley-hatin, but look who he's running against. next to this bunch of choads, daley is still sent from heaven. that reader article is so one-sided it's not funny.

― kenan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 15:57 (seventeen years ago) link

in fact, it's in hysterics, running around and banging pots and pans. you know you're in trouble when an article about politics starts with "YEARS AGO I had a neighbor whose husband used to beat the crap out of her."

Oh good.

― kenan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 15:58 (seventeen years ago) link

"YEARS AGO I had a neighbor whose husband used to beat the crap out of her...

... but she's dead now.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 15:59 (seventeen years ago) link

hey, funny story... years ago...

― kenan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:01 (seventeen years ago) link

ATTN JAYMC

1) I heard Go West on the radio yesterday (not doing the Bobby Caldwell song unfort.)

2) You're right, Monica Keena is off the chain.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Nice.

They have started keeping track of our rate here at work. I'm supposed to edit 600 words/hour, and I just found that last week it came out to about 200 w/h. Eek. I might not be posting as much in the future.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I mean, the show is amusing enough, and her character is kind of ill-defined, but she's so cute I can hardly look at her.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know what they're trying to do with her character in the first episode. That "OMG I'm freaking out" thing she does never really pops up again, except maybe in the episode where she's stressed out and eats too many snacks.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:22 (seventeen years ago) link

i didn't think she was that attractive and i swear i'm not just being contrary here.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:23 (seventeen years ago) link

No, that makes sense. I think you probably like "hot" women.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:26 (seventeen years ago) link

no john, i only have a thing for really fugly women. stumps and boils and extra appendages and shit.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:27 (seventeen years ago) link

He likes moon-faced Laurie Anderson, dude! HI DERE SPREDSHEET.

― Laurel, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:27 (seventeen years ago) link

oh shit yes, that pic of a young laurie anderson made me swoon.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:27 (seventeen years ago) link

She's not normally my type either, but that Monica Keena, she's got somethin.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Never mind, I'm not getting into it.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Goodness, I just GISed Keena and, depending on her make-up, I think either "what a fresh, pretty young woman!" or "Who let the Russian slut in, and aren't Russian sluts supposed to be taller?"

― Laurel, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I had to do a GIS for Monica Keena, and she's pretty cute. I am not super picky, however.

I'm putting out the call for parties interested in seeing the Wings/Blackhawks game tonight... some people had talked about it in the past and I'm just seeing if you're still interested. I am pretty sure the game is at 7:30, it's $10, and I'm probably going to hit up someplace downtown for some dinner beforehand. Anyone interested is more than welcome, just be ready for hearing me yell/get yelled at a lot.

― dan m, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:37 (seventeen years ago) link

damn, i forgot about this! i can't make it.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I GISed Monica, too, and found her not to be quite safe for work. Decision on hotness pending.

― kenan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link

That whole show should really have been about Jason Segal's character (the crazy ex-boyfriend). I'm glad he's on "How I Met Your Mother" now but it doesn't really give him the chance to show off his skills at playing extremely pathetic but somewhat likeable characters.

― n/a, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link

nick, did you listen to the commentary of the episode that featured the three dudes from the copy shop? if i remember correctly they filmed that after they knew undeclared was not coming back and they were using it as a pilot of sorts for those three characters. that would've been so f'ing awesome that it probably wouldn't have lasted 8 episodes on network tv.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:55 (seventeen years ago) link

the verdict is in: Monica Keena = but not for me

― kenan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh yeah, I was so happy when he showed up and his character was the logical progression of his Freaks & Geeks character five years down the road!

I haven't seen How I Met Your Mother, is it worth watching on dvd someday?

― Jordan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I've seen a few episodes of How I Met Your Mother (including one last night). It's an above-average sitcom but not especially brilliant. Neil Patrick Harris is pretty funny in it.

― n/a, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:58 (seventeen years ago) link

WTF is How I Met Your Mother??

I forgot to mention this, Jordan, but the episodes on the Undeclared DVD are out of order, because they accidentally put them on in the order they were shot. Check Wikipedia to see the correct order you should watch them in.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

John: Use context clues

It's an above-average sitcom
Neil Patrick Harris is pretty funny in it
I'm glad (Jason Segal is) on "How I Met Your Mother"

IT'S A SITCOM WITH JASON SEGAL AND NEIL PATRICK HARRIS

― n/a, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:11 (seventeen years ago) link

That girl who stuck a flute up her pussy is on it too.

― n/a, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks, Nick. The title is vaguely familiar. I think I may have been conflating it with Yes, Dear.

Alyson Hannigan is cute, too.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:13 (seventeen years ago) link

It is significantly better than Yes, Dear.

― n/a, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought the deal was that the Undeclared DVD was in the order the shows were broadcast, which was not the order that Apatow had originally intended.

― n/a, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:19 (seventeen years ago) link

is Monica Keena not a "hot" woman? I think she's pretty hot.

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

She'd be hotter if I saw her IRL instead of in a jpeg, probably.

― dan m, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought the deal was that the Undeclared DVD was in the order the shows were broadcast, which was not the order that Apatow had originally intended.

Not sure, but either way, it's best to watch them in the order Apatow intended.

is Monica Keena not a "hot" woman? I think she's pretty hot.

She's hot in the sense that she sometimes shows up in FHM and Maxim and the like, but I guess I was contrasting "hot" and "cute," in the way that I do when I talk about how I'm attracted to "cute" women. She's totally the kind of person who would be cast as the "cute" best friend of the female lead, except what's weird about Undeclared is that Carla Gallo isn't all that attractive.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:28 (seventeen years ago) link

okay, I don't use "hot" to mean anything but "good-looking," really. Carla Gallo's there to be hilarious on Undeclared, I think.

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I find Gallo more attractive than Keena. If we're rating these things.

― n/a, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:35 (seventeen years ago) link

BUT OF COURSE NEITHER ARE AS ATTRACTIVE AS MY BEAUTIFUL ANGEL SARAH!!! XXX OOO XXX OOO

― n/a, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Yer nuts.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm starting to wish we were talking about the weather.

― kenan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

jaymc's xpost is a perfect example of how no xpost warnings are trouble

― kenan, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:37 (seventeen years ago) link

I find Gallo more attractive than Keena.

otm

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

carla gallo seems more cute than hot. monica keena, the opposite.

― JuliaA, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, let's not have the creepy conversation about which girls that are way younger than us are attractive.

― n/a, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:40 (seventeen years ago) link

that is probably best.

― JuliaA, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Monica Keena was born 13 days after you, Nick.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link
