At The Laundromat

Me: (to the laundromat owner, as the radio plays "My Sharona") What radio station is this?

Laundromat Owner: 106.9.

Me: Ah. I was just wondering, because I just started paying attention to the radio stations in this area.

Laundromat Owner: I don't like rap.

Me: ?

Laundromat Owner: In the 60s, we smoked weed and we drank beer. But we never killed. We'd get in fights, but after drinking so much beer we were all best friends.

Me: Heehee...(?)

Wearing Shorts To Work

The following is a transcript of Tina Fey's monologue from last week's 30 Rock. It takes place when Liz Lemon realizes that she's sitting next to Oprah on a plane:


I'm trying to adopt a baby but my job is making it impossible because my work-self is SUFFOCATING my life-me. I'm Liz Lemon and I lost my virginity at 25! I saw the show about following your fear and it inspired me to wear shorts to work--it didn't go great! Do you know Tracy Jordan? I took a pill-- earlier. I didn't get my September issue of O Magazine-- do you have the number for subscription? Breaks into laughter. Why would you?! Blah! I eat emotionally. One time at summer camp I kissed a girl on a dare but then she DROWNED. And here comes some more stuff...I hate my feet. And once, I had a sex dream about Nate Berkus, but half-way through he turned into Dr. Oz. Has that ever happened to you? Aww, hug! Gives Oprah a hug. This is happening!


You cannot convince me that there is a better show on tv.
