For some reason whenever anyone mentioned "Archer", I always though they were talking about "Monk", which I also never watched, and obviously couldn't even name correctly. But now I'm watching Archer and gotta say, it's pretty damn funny.

Still need to watch the last four episodes of the season, but I have really liked this season of Justified (so far).

We have only see the first four(? I think) episodes of The Americans, but liked it too.

I also enjoyed the last two episodes of Community. And this week, puppets!

And the girl that played Ruthie. I believe she's in Maxim this month, but I cannot Google at work because of the filters or else I'd fulfill the rules.

Saw the first episode. I am sure my wife will watch it religiously, but since I have a trial coming up in June, I think I am going to have to miss this season and catch up next year if it sticks.

Those weren't even the best line in the episode. That would undoubtedly have to be:

Just now it dawned on me that the names of the two girls on Bob's Burgers, Tina and Louise, is a joke.

So my Jeopardy audition is tomorrow. Wish me luck. Thinking about having a few beers at lunch tomorrow to be loose and conversational. It works for Captain Karl, so it can't fail me.

I just finished Lost and I don't think I get it. The island was real and the alternate sideways view as if they never crashed was purgatory? If Kate and Sawyer made it out alive, why were they in purgatory before Jack who died right after they left?

I thought the ending implied that everyone died eventually, even the people who made it off. Not necessarily that they all died on the island like Jack and most of the others. (Not "The Others")

It's Stella Artois, which I don't like (my wife bought them - we also have plenty of booze, although not a whole lot of mixers, but there's a 7-11 a couple blocks away). If you're not doing anything, you're welcome to come over and watch if your hotel doesn't have Prime Ticket.

Appreciate it, but I haven't even left LV yet so I'll have to catch the game on the radio for the most part. I gots to work all day today and then hit the road. So I won't get in until 9 or so once I stop for dinner and stuff. I don't like Stella myself so I can't take any of them off your hands, but I'll bring over something tomorrow night if you still want to get together.

I think Stella Artois is fantastic. Although I never actually buy the stuff but it's like the only decent beer they sell at Fenway.

So the audition went very, very well I thought. Now it is wait and see for the next 18 months. But hopefully soon we will have our second Swamper on Jeopardy.
