Oh, have we got a video?

Is anyone free for lunch on Saturday?

Oh wait...I forgot...I can't go.
I have an INTERVIEW to work at a RADIO STATION!! (actually doing radio things, no less)
So you know...wish me luck.

Does anyone ever get sick of hearing Matt and Trey lip off about censorship? I don't, so I'm posting about it again. I love how Comedy Central went from "we will never air this ep again and we are so sorry--" to "we always intended to air it again, it just hadn't come up in the rotation." Myself, I watch a fair bit of TV and I can tell you that they omitted the ep from at least 2 season rewinds. In fact, before my DVDR went kaput, I intended to sent copies out to people. Now, there is no need for they are showing it again now that it's been nominated for emmy's.

Which goes to prove my theory that network execs have no fucking idea what quality programming actually is; they are far too busy appeasing advertisers and/or pandering to ignorant teens who can't even write a proper sentence when they review shitty shows on the internet.

Anyway, I've had this bottle of fake american champagne in the fridge for when I get a new job. It was in there for so long I had to take it with me when I moved, and I almost drank it last NYE. But I really am saving it for when I actually am employed again...so I may be able to drink it soon. Wouldn't that be fly?

YOU know, its odd to think that Comedy Central will be remembered for being such a force in liberal politics. Maybe its the nature of comedy, but its amazing that Comedy Central has grown from a channel that just used to play stand up bits from comedians to a channel that has The Daily Show, The Colber(t) ReporT, South Park and the Late, but never dead Chapelle Show to keep pushing that envelope of Comedy as Social Comentary that harkens back to the likes of Lenny Bruce

Hooray! Radio stations = the shit. Not like I'm biased or anything...

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-07-14 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
All true.

TV was already a profound record of our society. But now it's much more specific than in say the 50's when there might be a single quip about something political. Now we have Stewart and Colbert spelling it out. And I daresay no single show has done what Chapelle has in terms of starting dialogue...not since All in the Family anyway.

The power of comedy is a thing to behold.

LOL I haven't had a "real" radio job in quite some time. It would be really cool if I could get this gig.

Good luck. Use the force.

This may be the only time I ever wish to hear about your hangover in the near future. ;-)

;-}

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-07-14 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL

I can't imagine I'll drink THAT much.

::wishes you luck::

Hopefully you'll get to pop that fake American champagne soon ... very soon!

I have not seen the famed Tom Cruise ep (no cable!), but when I go visit the boyfriend in a month I will definitely get to see it ... he'll have it on tape.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-07-14 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It's pretty damn funny, and makes an important point like most SP eps. I daresay though, the Return of Chef ep is funnier.

Excellent news! Good luck tomorrow! *crosses fingers for you*

NO - WE DO NOT HAVE A VIDEO, NEIL!

Sorry, couldn't resist it ;)

Good luck on the interview :D

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
LOL

I do have a four year degree in broadcasting, after all. Mostly I would me writing and making local commericals, and then trying to get them not to suck. So that would be pretty cool even if it doesn't pay much.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

From me to you: two items :)

[identity profile] alex-a-polukhin.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
1 of 2: Сongratulations!
2 of 2: Good luck!

Hey, thanks!

I appreciate the good wishes.

[identity profile] lirrin.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome and excellent luck with the radio thing!!

When you do get a new job, I'll send you something (semi, anyway) cool. :)

[identity profile] cmdavi-70.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, probably not. Though, you've waited long enough to get a might tipsy, methinks.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
What? No...

When I get the job, I shall buy myself something cool!!!

;-}

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
That's true.

[identity profile] dirtydaisy.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 03:49 am (UTC)(link)

'So you know...wish me luck.'

Well I kinda need that luck, but okay.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
hahahahaha

Actually, it's a talk station with a lot of programming (Dr Laura, etc) that is not my taste. But that's why they call it work.

Boobs, Heiney, Mitten.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
I'll give it right back when I'm done with it.

I swear.

It better not be stained or anything.

[identity profile] eroslane.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Programming? Okay, I can get behind that.

Dr Hilary Duff
Dr Britney Spears
Nurse Xtina Aguilera
Financial Times w/ Mandy Moore

Re: Boobs, Heiney, Mitten.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
I resent that. I'm very tidy with my luck.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
But it's RADIO.

You can't see them. So it should be regular girls with really sexy voices...like Kathleen Turner, and me, obivously.

[identity profile] calpurnius.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Much luck, Wednesday.

[identity profile] uterdic.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy crap Dr. Laura is awful. Sorry, just had to throw that in there because she is terrrrrrrrrible.

Otherwise, I am very happy for you. Give me a call when you are done so I can hear about how it went.

[identity profile] spiralwitch.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Gracias!

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-07-15 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay!

(read that 'okay' as if I'm doing Dave Chapelle does Lil Jon)

WAAM
AM 1600.

Which is a very good place to get back into radio after being away for a long time.
