Revenge...or affection...hard to say

The event I've attempted to capture in this photo is Wyatt rubbing his teeth against Milo's foot and Milo kicking Wyatt in the neck. Milo can't meaningfully control his body yet but I suspect he noticed the tooth-rubbing.

Dear 30 Rock, I love you. Sincerely, Sara

To evade commercials, I purchased 30 rock on DVD. I love this freaking show so much that I would consider dedicating an entire blog to it. I could maybe do a love poem to each character, one per day. Alternatively, I could list quotes I love from each character. I can't really pick a favorite character because I love them so but, currently, it's a toss-up between Kenneth and Tracy. I know that's cliche. Those are probably everyone's favorites. Plus, I really do love them all. Anyway, I'm going to start my ode to 30 rock with a few quotes I've picked up.

The show had me totally addicted as soon as Tracy Jordan did a Bill Cosby impersonation wherein he said, with no inflection, "I'm Bill Cosby. Jell-o. Sweaters."

I think that what Kenneth has just said in this photo is something like, "I'll never finish this bikini by Nana's birthday." That's not a direct quote. On the other hand, I looked up this quote by Tracy: "stop eatin' people's old french fries, pigeon. have some self respect. don't you know you can fly?"

Anyway, those are softballs. Kenneth and Tracy constantly say hillarious stuff. Jack Donaghy is always funny (e.g., in conjunction with Tracy, the mind grapes thing is hillarious) but gets funnier with time.

For example, in season 2, Jack orders a "white rum with diet coke and a twist of lime"...the bar tender says, "here's your Nancy Drew," and Jack says: "for men it's called a Hardy Boy."

Phew, that's all I have for now...there may be more later.

Commercials

Commercials are actually a big part of the superbowl so I think this post is timely. The above commercial is apparently from 2008. I find it funny but I don't remember having seen it. Current commercials I like include the Scott toilet paper commercial with the whispering, particularly the part where the person gets a surprise party and everyone whispers, "Surprise" and blow party blowers without any "honk." Also, I like the verizon one where the guys are sitting around watching sports on TV and the guy's map is blocking the screen. Commercials I hate include any Geico caveman commercial and any of that stupid free credit report dot com band (particularly the newer ones but, really, all of them. I hate how he bites his lip and jams with his head).

What I really don't like about commercials is how many of them there are. I'm beginning to really resent the reality that TV is really just a vehicle for delivering commercials. This comes from days at home with the TV on. It's obscene how many commercials I see in a 24 hour period. I like to watch the Today show and also Ellen Degeneres but there's not much show there. It's just one commercial after another, particularly when you consider product discussions on the shows and give aways and Haiti donations from big corporations. I think, for a while, I may try to watch PBS exclusively. Or, maybe DVDs.
