Morning Discussion

Oh, hello there Tuesday. Doing well, I presume? You happen to catch 24 last night? Yeah, I was a little bummed that we're already back to the wacky conspiracy angle, but it's bound to be better than the last season. As long as it's entertaining, you know?

For the past two days, the smoke detector in the hallway outside my apartment has been constantly beeping, presumably due to a low battery. I haven't changed it, nor have my three neighbors. All we have to do is call the management and they'll do it.

And yet, no one's called. Perhaps this is due to collective apathy. Or perhaps it's some sort of power play--a Fort Wayne Cold War, so to speak--a way to send the message that "I'm not your man servant, do it yourself, jerk faces." Me? I wear headphones most of the day, so I'm going the apathy route. I just want to see how long this'll last.

    There should be a TV show about one person defeating terrorists in a relatively short period of time.

      I'm pretty sure that's what Ugly Betty is about, but I've never seen it.

      They do.

      It's fairly popular, surprised you haven't heard of it. It even has Kiefer Sutherland in it.

        Nice work, Phil. Your character development skills must be honed from the years of sexual frustration.

          Also, I think Hayden should be cast for a role in this pilot.

        I'd love to hear her read that aloud. I can't for the life of me figure out the purpose of typing like that beyond wanting it to be read a certain way, and that certain way has to sound fucking retarded
