Liz'sez of the World Unite! Updated!



We all remember the time when I wrote genius things about missing cultural landmarks only to stumble on to them way late in the game, wondering how the hell they fell off my radar.

The latest thing that I'm only just starting to comprehend as awesometastica is "30 Rock." The discover of all the episodes on hulu, nothing is getting done.

Oh Liz Lemon. With your inability to communicate, your fondness for cheese and slankets and your love of a good poo joke, I feel a kinship.

Hanks out.

Related!: An IM With Andy

me: Whats in Boston? Besides bricks and history.

andy: My sister's wedding ceremony is on Saturday

me: Mazel! Do boys do that thing where at weddings, they look at everything and decide whether they'd want it at their wedding? Wedding wedding wedding, wedding wedding -- wedding?

andy: I don't think guys do that, no.

me: My brother does it now. But I think that's only because he's actually getting married.

andy: Right. I think that makes sense. I'm pretty far from marriage at this point, i think

me: I am too, but for some reason, it's like, that doesn't matter at all.I can understand why Liz Lemon bought a wedding dress because it was on sale.

...And I hate the feeling of slowly going MAD.

I'm IMing you from inside the bell jar.

andy: Yeah?

me: Worst thing about it? That shit is CLEAR. I can see the sane world from here,I just can't be a part of it.

DO NOT HELP)

I love Liz Lemon.

I don't really do that with weddings, but I suppose I have given them some abstract thought.

But that's only because I am 100 and actually enjoy weddings for some reason.

I understand the whole argument that they're a billion dollar industry that can strongly reinforce stereotypes and empower the hegemony (of sexism, racism, capitalism, hello kitty).

On the other hand it's a lot of picking out fonts. AND I LOVE PICKING OUT FONTS!!!!11!

"Help me Liz Lemon, you're my only hope!"

Also related to this episode (and one of my favorite Jack Donaghy moments) is this scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTj47rcuM-4

I sometimes feel ambivalent when I laugh at the things she does because a) they seem too real and hit to close to home, and, b) should I be weeping about that fact instead?
