Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I watched a couple episodes of The Big Bang Theory on the plane. I've seen four or five episodes now, I think, and I just can't get into it. I find it mildly amusing with a few good jokes, but I still don't feel compelled to become a regular viewer. It's bizarre because I should be the target audience.

Did anyone watch Outsourced ? I had to check it out because, hey, Indians on TV, and also I had to see if I'm supposed to be offended by it. And also Rebecca Hazlewood. For whom I just might have to keep watching the show anyway. It's mildly amusing, and it got a few smiles and chuckles. The call-center characters are pretty endearing, so that's a good start. The pilot did have annoying jokes about Indian names and food, but the second episode was better about such things. Mostly, I really am rather happy to see Indians on my TV. (Another reason I wish I could get into BBT. One of the episodes I saw did have a pretty hilarious Raj line: "Not only are there children starving in India, there's an Indian starving right here!")

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I love Big Bang Theory. I'm annoyed that you have to go through itunes to watch full episodes now.

I watched the pilot of Outsourced and it didn't really grab me. I looked at that cafeteria food and drooled.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Do you have to buy them Laga, or is it a free download?

I think it's free I'm just easily annoyed.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

I can't even find it on iTunes. This is a dumb question, but is it under TV episodes?

Perhaps I need more caffeine.

I followed a link from the CBS website and it told me I needed to download itunes (even though I already have it) so I got annoyed and wandered off.

I don't think iTunes has full episodes -- I'm pretty sure they're not online anywhere (including CBS.com) b/c WB is being douchey in light of its huge syndication deal for BBT. (Meaning, somehow they think that if people can watch the episode online, they won't also watch it in syndication? No fucking sense. None at all.)

A friend of mine has a new web series. Whacked

No I think that's closer to Halloween -- the 19th or so?

EtA - nope it's slated for the 26th per Billboard.com
