Oh my GOD please get those eye-bleeding white-on-yellow memes OFF my friendslist. Scrolling is not fast enough! I beseech you, people, think of my retinas.
If the above made no sense, it is because a) I got maybe a couple hours of sleep last night and b) I'm a verbal chameleon who's been watching Sports Night for two days and has temporarily taken on the verbal patterns of any given Aaron Sorkin character. Sorry about that.
Incidentally, having watched Sports Night both before and after I discovered that sports are fun, I can confirm that you do not need to be a sports fan to enjoy the show. It's fun to understand what the characters are talking about when they're discussing their show, but it doesn't change anything about plot perception. It is cool, though, to see that the show followed the patterns of sports seasons, so you can guess roughly when an episode aired based on which sport is being discussed. Okay, except for the time when they had trade deadline and then spring training like two episodes later, but both episodes were very good and revolved partly around said events, so I'll let it slide. Besides, maybe trade deadline was different in 1998.
Also, I got distracted more than once by trying to watch baseball games that were playing in the background. And I was far more interested in listening to Danny describe the last inning of a '51 Giants game than I was in what relevance it had to the plot. And I hooted with glee when an imaginary Yankee got himself in fake trouble with the pretend media. QUIT TORMENTING ME BASEBALL COME BACK NOW.
Also too, I have the internets back. YAY.
In conclusion,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lissa_ann wins an imaginary prize for being the only damn one who could find the short reply post upon my request. The rest of you need to come up with about three bucks to cover the extra cost of reading those long-ass LJ alerts on my cell phone. ;P
I am going to stop writing now because I am making no sense and I suspect that at least twice now I have overshot jokey teasing and landed square on bitchy. Jokey teasing is hard on no sleep.
