The American Office
February 13, 2005

This is a sin. A huge sin. A disgrace. NBC is doing an American version of the BBC's masterpiece, The Office.

It going to be impossible to capture the brillance of The Office and package it for American TV. The hardest thing will be capturing the acting that makes the characters seem very real.

My prediction, it's going to be shity and cancelled like the other British comedy they tried to bring to American TV - Coupling. American versions of Garreth, Tim, Dawn and David should not even be attempted. Also, the dialogue is really going to suffer because there won't be any swearing. The FCC won't stand for it.

Will I watch. Yes.

Christmas Rocket
December 23, 2004

All aboard the Christmas Rocket. NOW!

They erected the Christmas Rocket in a fountain around the corner from our place. Isn't it beautiful? I'm not sure of the significance only because I’m not religious, but I think Jesus came to earth in one.

Confetti
November 17, 2004

We are getting married. I thought I would just come out and say it, since I think everyone we know knows.

I didn't want to write it here in case family and friends dropped by this site and read it here before we told them. Not that they would, but I didn't want to severely traumatize someone to the point of suicide.

Our tale is a long one, we've been together for over eight years. Longer than most of our friends have been together with their significant others. So needless to say, Jen has been very patient. Maybe too patient. In fact, she should really have disposed of my ass a long time ago. At least 2 or 3 years ago when times were tough. But she didn't because she's loving, supportive and stuff.

She's watched many friends get married and she still didn't really put the screws to me and hassle me, like I've heard other ladies do.

When I made my return, I didn't mention it and as you will see, I crossed some stuff off because I'm a fucking idiot. You're probably saying to yourself, "There's no way that he can be a fucking idiot", but yes it's true, I am. I said "A time without interest or inspiration, but changes", which wasn't the right or even nice thing to say as we had been engaged for a bit at that point. Anyway, you've got to learn from your mistakes and that's just what I intend to do.

We're getting married in the Caribbean, likely the Dominican, but we were tossing around Cuba. I'm going to be wearing my fluorescent green thong Speedo. It's a real crowd pleaser.

Entertain Us
November 15, 2004

That's right, entermuthafuckintain us or leave. William covers Common People and collaborates with interesting folks, like Aimee Mann and Henry Rollins.

Is it brilliant or complete shit? Is there a difference between pure genius and pure garbage? I'm not sure, but I think I like what I've heard on the site.
