When History Was Written The Final Page Will Say

It's weird, but I actually have been much more diligent in watching Jon Stewart every night since his return than I was before the strike. The show is certainly not better without writers, but maybe I just find it to be much more impressive now. On the other hand, I've lost most of my interest in Colbert without writers. This probably isn't surprising or noteworthy, and yet I feel the need to record it.

I've been trying to think of the upside of what happened tonight in South Carolina, and what I came up with is this. Things can only get a little worse for NCSU basketball at this point. That's the new optimism.

The only other (slightly) interesting thing in my life is that the Feds keep on fucking around with me. Since I got the summons for jury duty, I've had to call this telephone number four or five different times, each time being told to call back the next day/next week/whatever. I got a letter from them over the weekend telling me to call tonight, and tonight I was told to call back on Friday night. Next week is the last week of the three week span I was summoned for, and after they spent so long trying to get me, it would kind of be a shame if they wasted their moment. That, and I want some of that sweet jury duty pay.

I like the George Bush quote I stole for my title from the daily show, mainly because it feels so much like a line from a song. Once I figure out who's song it sounds like it could be from, I'll be really pleased with myself.
