So it's kind of weird with D gone. I know he was anxious about the sleeping situation. He was also worried that he might eat too much at the pizza buffet tonight. (Can you tell this event was planned by a guy?) I told him he could call me if he wanted me to stop him. I didn't hear from him so I guess the situation was under control.
On Sunday I saw The Break-Up with TN. I have to say I was kinda disappointed (though I had fun with TN as always). I don't know why I keep going to see Jennifer Aniston movies. They're never good. Although this one had a surprise ending. I was waiting for it to creak to its inevitable conclusion, and then something different happened. So that was interesting, I suppose.
I watched Seinfeld on TBS earlier. I was never into the show during its original run, though my mother watched it regularly. I guess my reasons were as follows:
1) no romance
2) I didn't find anybody on the show attractive
3) they all seemed kind of despicable
For some reason, none of this bothers me now, and it's like an original series to me since I never really watched it before. Tonight, though...this woman wanted to break up with George and he was avoiding her, because his heart was set on going to a ball and making a grand entrance. He figured if she didn't break up with him, they could still go to the ball. So Kramer broke up with him on the woman's behalf. Kramer took him to Pomodoro. As an aside, Jerry said that everyone breaks up at Pomodoro.
Now, I've never been to Pomodoro, but I know it's an okay restaurant on the Upper West Side. I wonder if it really has that reputation. And I wish they would go to better restaurants on the show. But the Upper West Side is not really known for its eateries.

Very original.
The Break-Up: I agree with the critics; the supporting cast are the best part but they don't have enough of a role to hold up the movie. And I'm kind of getting tired of Vince's schtick.
Seinfeld: I deal with enough obnoxious, self-absorbed people in my real life. Why would I want to watch them on television? I found the characters too annoying to be amusing.
Mmmmmm. Pizza.
Liz - hehe. That place is actually wildly popular. Though it may have closed down now.
Lisa - it's funny how the supporting cast is the highlight of a lot of these movies. I thought the supporting cast was awesome in Failure to Launch too. And Parker Posey is going to be the female villain in Superman! You just know she is going to be better than Kate Bosworth (the female lead).
Sally: What do you call people you go out with but don't try to sleep with?
Patrick: Men.

Steve: I like naked women. I'm a bloke. I'm supposed to like them. We're born like that. We like naked women as soon as we're pulled out of one. Halfway down the birth canal we're already enjoying the view.

Sally: You know, I have never understood the male obsession with lesbianism - a whole area of sex with nothing for them to do. Just answered my own question, haven't I?
I used to LOVE Seinfeld when it was on. I was so disappointed when it was off the air. I don't know why I loved it so much, but I did. I don't watch the reruns - but I'm sure I would still enjoy it just as much.
Perplexio - hmm. I remember the American version was awful. But maybe...
Elsa - have you seen Julia Louis-Dreyfus's new show? it's actually really good. i think it indirectly got me into Seinfeld.
I know this post is kind of whiny...sorry!
And Bearette I think you just identified the difference between British and American comedy...British = raw, American = cute (I hope I haven't started transantlantic/pacific warfare!)
