I added the tracklists for a few of the mix CD's I've made recently to the wiki that
revme is always pimping. I'll probably write up some song descriptions at some point.
Speaking of mix CD's, if anyone wants a copy of my religion mix or my end-of-the-year mix (which is coming soon; I'm almost done with the tracklist, but I'd like to add something from the new live Rasputina album), let me know. If you'd like a Christmas card from me, let me know that, too. I'll probably mail out all of those things within the next few weeks.
Tonight's Simpsons episode was pretty good. The main plot treads the somewhat familiar territory of Marge having trouble fitting in and making friends. It does so in a clever new way, though. I did think Marge agreed to the theft a little too easily, considering how moral she usually is. I'm not saying they shouldn't have had her agree to it eventually, just that I would have expected a little more internal conflict. Homer also switched from trying to stop Marge to joining her awfully quickly, but that's a little more believable. Homer came across more as well-meaning but stupid than a total jerkass, which was good. Most of the laughs actually came from Lisa's subplot, though. It's usually pretty cool when a loser character turns out to be surprisingly good at something, and Milhouse's skill at Italian was no exception. I liked the explanation as to how he learned it so well, and the whole Little Italy sequence. Another particularly funny bit in the episode was Chief Wiggum and Lou's argument.
As for Family Guy, the doctor's schtick was a good example of a joke that worked better the longer they extended it. I also liked the cavemen singing "For The Longest Time." I didn't particularly care for the subplot with Peter's society of fat people, but they did manage to tie that in with the plot about Lois' brother, so that was cool.
I actually thought tonight's American Dad was pretty good, and it finally included a title-worthy quote. {g} There were also some other jokes that I thought worked pretty well, like Dr. Seuss's typewriter, Steve's attempts to be a "bad boy," and the admission that the beginning was meant to screw with the audience.

You can just e-mail me your address, and I'll send those CD's.
