So, anyone watching the new season of 24? If you have, you might have noticed an interesting storyline involving yours truly. No, I’m not moonlighting as a CTU agent in the Empire State. However, I did manage to get written into the storyline.
Let’s begin here:
Dana Walsh, CTU. Beginning with the obvious. But not only is her name Dana, she’s also a Senior Analyst at CTU. Sound familiar? Hey, me too!
We’re just getting started.
Wait a minute, Dana’s name is actually Jenny? Okay, we get it.. we look alike. TWINS!
Uh oh, this guy seems to have as much trouble telling Dana and Jenny apart as our mom does! Maybe it’s hereditary? No you say, it’s this dude having the name amnesia and not The Twins. Oh wait, did we mention that THIS GUY’S NAME IS KEVIN?!
Let’s recap:
So there’s this Senior Analyst named Dana, who also goes by Jenny, and she is harassed by a dude named Kevin. Yup, this sounds like my life story with a little government ineptitude.
Throw a little Sark in there, and you’ve got the best season of 24 EVER!
Palin also appears on Weekend Update. There’s quite possibly nothing funnier than a very pregnant Amy Pohler doing gangsta rap. SNL – Weekend Update

Rainn Wilson, aka Dwight K. Schrute from The Office, was at CNN today! The Brit hostilely made me submit an iReport, which quickly became a monster in the newsroom. Behold:
Email from The Brit:
Subject: I don’t see a submission from your Dwight bobblehead yet
Next email from The Brit:
The iReport team are complaining that you didn’t send video…
Comments from inside the building, useful suggestion at end.
DW: http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-46990
The Brit: I made her send it!
The Brit: and have berated her for it not being video
DW: Thank you, saves me from having to do it.
DW: I’m betting not first time she’s gotten berated for “doesn’t follow directions.”
DW: it’s gotten 56 hits in 14 minutes.
The Brit: really? oh lord, she’ll be insufferable. But 50 of those prob from inside here DW: i don’t know how the click counts work internally. she didn’t even have her picture in her profile. i’m pretty sure some of our users get additional clicks because of picture they choose The Brit: it’s her first submission, bless her
DW: i’m just saying. she’s got her logo. i’m estimating that picture of female is good for at least a 10% increase in clicks. more if they’re cute.

More, via IM: The Brit: … But I have created a whole new audience for dpnation … DP: i just changed my profile pic The Brit: a man wandering past my cube says “that’ll work”
–
And somewhere out of this, I think got hitched: y++: breaking news! y++: Deeps is now my gf Skybil: WOW!! y++: yes Skybil: Let me start spreading rumors … y++: fictional, perhaps, but where’s the line these days y++: yes yes, she’s my gf Skybil: True. Lots of relationships are based on fiction! y++: entirely Skybil: Indeed
DW comes through on my iReport, clears for on air usage!
DW: “I’ll make an exception and vet this one.”
Q&A between DW and DP (required for iReports used on CNN):
Did you take the picture? — YES and those are my bobbles (Teixiera is a gift from the Brit herself)
What kind of camera did you use? — iPhone, hence why the picture quality is so awful
Where do you live? NYC
What do you do? MBA/online celebrity/bacon enthusiast
Are you over 18? pretty sure, yes.

They begin to realize they’ve created a monster: Skybil: You’ve made Dana insufferable!! Skybil: I blame you DW: made? Skybil: Good point

Going live in 3.. 2.. The Brit: make sure you watch this thing on dotcom live The Brit: there may be a surprise for you

Wes’ brush with fame and 20/20 hindsight: Wes: OMG OMG I just got to shake dwight schrute’s hand DP: OOOOOH Wes: he even talked to me Wes: bet you’re regretting business school now
m++’s ultimate plan: m++: skybil has given me a strategy on how to get you down here m++: deeps, your hair looks terrible, you need to visit your stylist here
[he may be onto something here..]
So I saw my site traffic for today and it was completely through the roof, and my first thought was ‘wow, there are a lot of Vicente Fox fans out there and God I hope I don’t get arrested for that crappy photoshop job’.
After further research (ie looking at the WordPress statistics) it turns out, Paige Davis’ return to Trading Spaces is even more exciting than ex-Presidents stealing bagels from the breakroom. Either that, or viewers are hoping to relive the whole sex tape scandal. So much for humor at the expense of Skybil..
Oh no! Becks is still dealing with his ankle injury from the final Real Madrid game.
Something tells me that with a sold out game this Saturday broadcast on ESPN with 19 cameras following him around that he will be playing, whether he likes it or not.
Speaking of Beckham, hopefully everyone saw Victoria’s Coming to America show tonite, which I’m not gonna lie – was freakin hilarious. (in a good way – Britney and Paris might want to take notes here.) Who knew she was actually kinda witty and self deprecating?
The Price Is Right Million Dollar Spectacular (8 p.m., CBS). Emmy Award winner Bob Barker will be honored with two final primetime specials this May, paying tribute to his 50 years in show business and his upcoming retirement after 35 years of hosting The Price Is Right, the longest-running game show in television history.
Speaking of which.. today’s question: if you were called to “come on down” – what would be your style? Would you dance down the aisle? Sprint? Most importantly, would you give Bob Barker a kiss?
I have spent way too much time thinking about this.
Best new show! The Sarah Silverman Program 10:30pm – Thursdays – Comedy Central
Sarah is childish, narcissistic and manipulative — “Mean Girls” meets Larry David. (hmm, sound familiar? I think if someone were to combine her and Lorelai Gilmore you’d spawn something like me)
In the first episode Sarah went to the drug store to get some cough syrup.. the decision making process sounded something like this “Ooh, this one has a duck on it. But this one is orange!” I think I’ve had that exact conversation with myself. Just one of the many highlights of its premiere show. Check it.
Ah, workplace AIM conversations:
CybilW: wanna update CNNU??
DP: wanna get punched in the face?
CybilW: yes!
And what would AIM quotes be without the twin? jep4s: i was on the news last night!
jep4s: only sorta though
jep4s: just in passing
jep4s: but one of my good friends was actually talking
SPOON10: were you arrested?
jep4s: NO
jep4s: i was walking home from dinner in a group
jep4s: there were 2 assaults on monday
jep4s: they wanted our reaction
jep4s: so we threw them morgan to talk
jep4s: then they got a shot of us walking
jep4s: http://www.nbc29.com/global/story.asp?s=6007748
jep4s: you can see it!
jep4s: i’m only on there for like 0.03 sec
SPOON10: you’re practically famous
jep4s: definitely
1:23 into the video – light blue jacket on the right, yes, that’s her. Though for someone who works for a news channel this isn’t quite as exciting, but yay for the twin.
So evidently I totally missed Christian Slater sitting 20 ft away from me this morning in the newsroom.
So, to make up for it, just had a Carson from Queer Eye (the blonde one) sighting this afternoon. I need a tan like his! And totally even more fab in person, as expected.
Evidently @usacycling did not consider the amount of tree cover in Greenville when opting for helicopter-only coverage. #uspro3 days ago
