The Strike

Maybe this is bizarre, twisted or possibly even cruel, but the strike seems like it's going to be exciting. I feel bad for the writer's assistants -- they're getting a raw deal.

This is the first strike since the 80s, and hopefully this one won't last as long. Our late night shows are screwed -- but maybe that's not such a bad thing. Scripted TV is going to have some staying power -- at least for the next couple of months.

I'm going to take some pictures this week -- something worthwhile might happen in or near my area. I'll be sure to post them on our lively blog.

This is off-topic, but it has to be said. The Office has been off its mark lately, and I think I'm going to multitask as I watch it. I think the best shows are TV are the ones where I don't drift over to my laptop, and hit up gmail or facebook. ( I must admit though, I've done this during Pushing Daisies a couple times)

The jokes were shallow, sub par, and Dwight's scene with the chalk made him more of a caricature than a fleshed out character. Funny stuff happened, but the purpose or thought behind the funny wasn't there. That show is steadily dropping out of my radar. Too bad too -- it had a couple great seasons.
