Which I saw someone getting a ticket from a cop for doing here in Seattle. Amazing.


As far as the show, we turned it on in the room for a bit last night; someone stumbled over a first grade science question, "You inhale oxygen and exhale ______."

He got Carbon Dioxide, but barely....

Rocky's Editorial: No word on What About Brian. Not surprised. Ratings low.

TW Week is reporting that NBC has picked up 30 Rock for a Second Season.

30 rock isa mild surprise. I actually kind of like it but it needs some work in my opinion.

I thought 30 Rock was terrible. Was an immediate deletion from the DVR Schedule....maybe I was early.

I didn't see "Brian" on the list of renews....He was gonna get with the hot room mate too (the non blonde).
