Is last night's episode of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip the last one I'll ever see? I can't seem to find a good answer.

Next week The Black Donnellys will premiere a week earlier than expected in the slot that held Studio 60. I'm kind of bummed, but apparently I'm one of the few that actually likes the show. Maybe it is the crush I have on Matthew Perry clouding my judgment. I do hope they find a new home in the schedule (preferably one that doesn't conflict with something else I watch or maybe earlier in the evening), but I definitely know it will not be back next season.

Leave it to NBC to put a decent show in a totally wrong time slot to doom it to failure. Studio 60 is definitely not the best choice to follow up Heroes. They have two totally different audiences and it sits opposite CSI: Miami. If NBC didn't have episodes available to watch online, I'd have never seen Studio 60 at all since it's on past my bedtime and CSI gets the precious recording slot on my PVR.

On a related note, since I'm now watching Gilmore Girls, I read some rumors about GG possibly continuing. Man, I hope that's not true. If they pull a 7th Heaven on this series, I'm going to be upset. It's really time to end this one.

EDIT: I don't know if these things have any impact on networks at all, but there is a petition you can sign to save Studio 60.

I am watching an infomercial with author Kevin Trudeau. He writes books about natural health cures.

I totally meant to post this last December and it totally slipped my mind until tonight when they replayed the Saturday Night Live episode that had Justin Timberlake as the guest/musical guest. That episode was the best SNL episode I've seen in a long time. In fact, I downloaded it from iTunes, I liked it so much. Justin is really talented and I love how he can make fun of himself. Marcus really liked the "Homelessville" sketch (I can't find it anymore to link to it-it's been removed) and quotes the danged thing all the time. The following one was my favorite (WARNING: the following video is adult content/may not be safe for work):

I have been doing a lot of web wandering the last couple of days. I don't know how I came across it, but I saw this really cool Simpsons drawing that was posted on deviantART (an online art community if you're not familiar with it):


The Simpsonzu by *spacecoyote on deviantART

The artist did such a remarkable job that somebody took notice:

*spacecoyote was offered work with Bongo Comics owned and started by none other than Matt "Simpsons" Groening. She will be doing pencil work for a short manga style version of the Simpsons and on top of that has been contacted by 20th Century Fox to potentially work on the upcoming relaunch of Futurama!

How freakin' awesome is that?

Here's the original work the artist based the drawing on:

I decided today that I've got to find someplace I can go swimming relatively inexpensively. There is no way I'm setting foot in that lousy excuse of a pool we have at our park here. I've been checking around and even open swimming at the nearby rec center is pricey.

I used to swim a couple of days a week at least while I was in college. It was free to swim at the campus pools with my student ID. I used to get to swim with Broncos players that were doing physical therapy in the pool during their training camp. Even though I have always been overweight, I was in pretty decent shape then. I haven't been able to swim since Marcus and I went to Missouri a while back.

I need to invest in a new suit, though. My suit is in horrible shape. I think I've had that suit since before I met Marcus. I really hate looking for large women swimwear, though. The selection is miniscule at most stores around here, even at plus size stores. Hopefully I'll be able to find a decent suit using my old friend Internet. I'm really liking this suit over at Swimsuits For All. I've always been partial to suits with a cross strap back.
