Hey universe, you know what I think?

I think, as reward for me getting up early, sending off job applications, and prepping agent submissions, two things should happen:

1. My printer should not run out of ink.
2. My bathtub faucet's diverter (which allows me to shower) should not break.

Just, you know, for future reference.

I fixed the ink problem because I happen to have handily bought a two-pack of cartridges last time. The faucet may require some work. It's not that I don't like a nice hot bath now and again, but on a regular basis it's a bit inefficient.

However, on the Good News side of things, I thought Dexter was dead and it turns out he's still kicking around. I did have to kill a spider that was taking over his web, which made him sit very still for three days. Poor traumatised spider.

Sam's Three Things about Studio 60!

And before you ask, I'm not magic -- I downloaded the episode, which airs a day earlier in Canada. Our brethren to the north have more than just gay marriage and maple sugar to offer us, my friends!

1. I found Danny's remark about "at least I'm back on television" kind of ironic, since really, that's the most I can say about this episode. With a few stellar exceptions, it was terrible. It was badly-paced, drawn-out, and mainly composed of people being pointlessly nasty to each other. I understand that conflict is the root of all entertainment, but conflict is not the same thing as bitchiness. Even the non-bitchy moments -- I can't even rewatch the opening scene, it's so awful.

2. There were some stellar standouts though. That included Jack Rudolph, who is not only magnificent but magnificently the same -- still a cranky boss with his head occasionally lodged firmly up his ass. Tom's date request, which is suited to my tastes (I favour "I like you. Want to go out?") was also fantastic, as was Suzanne. Therefore I have Three Good Dialogues for you:

2a. "I don't feel like a laughingstock." "That's only because you're a moron."
2b. "Thursday night?" "Sure." "Then my work here is done."
2c. "Any choice of username?" "Make something up." "BossSexy." "Not BossSexy!" "Awh, too late."

3. HOW GREAT IS IT THAT MATT IS GIVING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO PROMOTE POLYAMORY? I'm serious! About half my friends are poly and come to think of it, so are all my roleplay characters (which I hadn't realised, and is a wee bit odd.) Plus, it ties in nicely with my idea of Matt as someone with a burning passion for Harry but a burning urge to sleep with most of the pretty faces he encounters.

3a. Why are the bad guys in Studio 60 always bald?
