Jan. 12th, 2010 11:50 pmGot my master fic list posted finally -- hooray! Now I just have to finish and post my Pinto rec list... and my STXI rec list... and all the half-finished fics I have floating around. I'm sort of rotating between working on 4 very different fics, which is probably not the best idea ever, but... meh.
Okay, so, as someone who has never really watched late night talk shows (save for Stewart and Colbert), can someone please explain something to me? So Jay Leno used to be on every night at 11:35, people loved him, yay. They move him up to 10, people stop watching, boo. Every article I've read explains why they made the move and what a bad idea it turned out to be, but makes no attempt to say why it didn't work. Intuitively (read: naively), my first thought is that, in general, more people are watching TV at 10 pm than at 11:35. So what's the deal? Is it that Leno's comedy has to be cleaned up or otherwise changed for an earlier audience? Is there something about 10 pm that makes people want to watch scripted medical dramas and 11:35 that makes people want to watch talk shows? Is there some totally obvious reason that I have yet to consider? WILL NO ONE EXPLAIN THIS FUCKERY?!
Anyway, Conan: you got a raw deal. Way to handle this clusterfuck with humor and dignity. (Did that sound sarcastic? 'Cause it wasn't.)
Oh, and my sister and I finished watching the LotR trilogy. She became surprisingly attached to all the hobbits and even cried when Pippin rode of with Gandalf from Rohan and left Merry behind -- "That's the farthest they've ever been away from each other! I can't handle this!" Also, during the climactic final showdown between Frodo and Gollum, she kept screaming "Frodo, you can't die! YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO SAM!" In the end I had to console her with the fact that in the book (uh, spoiler alert?), because Sam was a Ringbearer for a brief time, he eventually got to sail into the west to be with his Mister Frodo for eternity.
Hmm, I do not have an LotR icon. I should look into that.
