50 Things I Learned While Not Writing Dear Tina

I met someone at work and by the end of our exchange (that offered brief moments of conversation over a three hour period) I couldn’t tell if he was Australian or Southern. He resided in Indiana. I’m going with Australian.

30 Rock Quote of the Day:

Jack: Frankly, I could use a win.
Liz: A win?  What’s with the euphemisms, Jack?  Why don’t you just say you want some [makes hand gestures].
Jack: Is that sex?
Liz: That’s the way I do it.

What the H is happening on True Blood? I saw the cover of Rolling Stone so I can only assume great things. I realized that the answer to why I can get behind the cultural obsession with vampires via True Blood and not the Twilight series lies solely in Alexander Skarsgard’s physique. Oh my man.

30 Rock Quote of the Day:

Jack: The point is, a lot has happened to me since the retreat last year, so I hope that when I return they still think of me as the same guy.
Liz: You’ve got camp jitters!
Jack: What?
Liz: You haven’t seen your business camp friends in a year and now you’re afraid everyone’s going to think you got weird.

I always wanted to believe that I could tell the difference between skim milk and 2% milk. But I can’t. So some days we’re a little more fat, some days we’re a little less. EIther way, that Oreo cookie tastes delicious.

30 Rock Quote of the Day:

Jack: Yes Lemon, important people get better health care.  They also get better restaurant reservations, bigger seats in planes…
Dr. Spaceman: A more refined class of prostitute.  For me, it’s really about the companionship.

Sometimes when I have a lot to say to someone on the phone who I don’t know, I forget to breathe and then it sounds like I’m short of breath just from talking. I imagine they either visualize me as morbidly obese or as someone who suffers from a severe anxiety/socially awkward disorder. Meh.

30 Rock Quote of the Day:

Jenna: Jack. It was perfect, like a John Mayer song.

Things that are gross: dead birds. Clean it up Chicago!

30 Rock Quote of the Day:

Danny: There’s rumor that it’s Miami.  Is it Miami?
Liz: Close.  It is a city with an NBA team.  And even though Will Smith never wrote any raps about it, the poet Robert Lowell lived there.
Pete: Ok we’re going to Boston.  Nobody’s happy.

Speaking of music, I’m not a caffeine drinker. It’s not a health thing. It’s an I-don’t-like-coffee-thing, which I addressed earlier. If it was a health thing, I probably wouldn’t be in the craft service room eyeing the blueberry coffee cake right now. Anyway, as a substitute, I have turned to my iPod in the early morn to get my energy at the same level as those people who drink Red Bull for breakfast (gross). Try it some time. I’m telling you right now “Show Me Love” by Robyn is like a double shot of espresso.

30 Rock Quote of the Day:

Jenna: Liz, I can’t do girls lunch today,
Liz: We’ve never done that.
Jenna: …because I have an audition for Gossip Girl.
Pete: Oh I love that show.

I’ve always meant to recognize one of my favorite song lyrics of all time:

Not only does your body bang/But I miss the conversation too

I can only hope that if I ever develop a long-distance relationship, the man expresses a similar sentiment to me. Jesse McCartney, you’re such a poet.

30 Rock Quote of the Day:

Liz: My cousin Randy, this kid from this rural coal mining town came out to us. And I think old Liz Lemon had little something to do with that
[Flashback]
Liz: Randy’s gay everybody! He’s gay!

I’m sure to those who are advanced users of “Excel” feel differently, but I find that program infuriating. I just want it to know automatically that when I select Helvetica font, size 12 in column A, that I want the same in column B. Come on! This is not an invitation to train me in Excel by the way. I find that the more you complain and the less you learn, the more material you have for your blog.

30 Rock Quote of the Day:

Toofer: Oh yes, we’re all very strict Verdukians.
Kenneth: Oh, my apologies. I never heard of that religion. What do you all believe in?
Toofer: Oh many things; the healing power of root beer.
Lutz: That a man can have up to nine wives if two of them are male.

Mini bottles of beer are not cute, they’re inefficient.

30 Rock Quote of the Day:

Frank: He takes the two worst parts of Christmas, giving and rules, and combines them.

What are you supposed to do when its 95 degrees outside and the air conditioning on in the car is fogging up your windshield? Well, you’re supposed to turn on the heat. And then kill yourself.

30 Rock Quote of the Day:

Tracy: I will do the Christmas shopping to show you that I can be reliable, and that I can finish everything I.
