Looking for a swift turn of phrase

[cyrano]

To those of you who have had contact with me today, I apologize for my florid manner. I just realized that I've been reading 500 years After and it has strongly impacted my speech patterns. I have no excuse for my pretentious behavior.

And, apropos of nothing, Wah! TiVo did not watch the Daily Show with Fareed Zakariah! ):

That's bizarre. There's room enough on it, and it got Monday's ep.

When did the interview run? If it was last night, it may pick it up in repeat. Or, you can go in and force it to pick it up this evening.

OH! but it is fun to read!
not pretentious... FUN. FUN FUN FUN! :D
Pretentious would lead to us believing you were acting like an ass, which you were not. :D

Given JenWD's commentary, I would guess it ran Monday night.
I'm hoping it was a repeat. Looks like all this week we get no program information, but just 'A humorous look at current events'.

I find your florid manner to be charming. ;-) Hardly pretentious at all!

So long as you enjoyed it. (: I still find it awkward to realize in hindsight. The painful aspect of growing up smart is that one is constantly reminded of the danger of 'being above one's self' or 'putting on airs'.

I saw a 'new' Daily Show on the TiVo...last night I thought. Check it and make sure it's not the Zakaria interview? Or go into the Season Pass Manager, down to Daily Show and the list of upcoming episodes, and tell it to record the rest of the eps today if it's not already (unless there's a conflict).

I hate it when the TiVo listings don't get the guest star in the description. :P

Last night was Uncle Joe Biden. (: I'll have a look.

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Yeah, looks like we have Joe Biden and Bob 'Did you cut the cheese' Costas. The two later episodes will not record, given they overlap adjaecent Daily Show recordings.

So what if you have an out of body experience and wear nike jordans? :P

After a bit of internet research, it looks like Monday's ep was a rerun of July 21, which I had not seen. But they did replay it right after Biden.

'twas monday. My tivo was fooled into thinking it was a rerun (some kind of listings hiccup), and therefore did not record it on Monday. I caught it last night, instead.

[jakejr.livejournal.com]

Actually, for the sake of clarity, it was indeed a rerun. But for some reason I didn't get it the first time through, which is strange, because I haven't missed any in quite a while. Tivo, therefore, was fooled into thinking it had recorded it for me before, which it had not. There, I think that makes more sense. I've been in analytical planning meetings all day, so pardon me if I am not speaking ze English.

Dunno the specs, but thought you might like to at least investigate this, since I know your airport job makes you deliriously happy. madampc's law office needs another hand on phones, typing, filing, etc. See http://www.livejournal.com/users/madampc/1001141.html and talk to Patty. I'm pretty sure you've met before.

We have, and I found her charming and attractive. It can't hurt to try to whip up a resume and focus on what office-relevant experience I can manufacture. (:
